  • Living St. Louis producer Anne-Marie Berger visits Lafayette Square, one of St. Louis' oldest neighborhoods that sits just south of downtown. This community surrounds Lafayette Park-the oldest park west of the Mississippi. It was the richest neighborhood in St. Louis during the mid 1800s, but after a destructive tornado, many residents left, and the area fell into urban decay. Now, current residents have joined together to beautify the park once again and rehab the area's historic homes.

    I bought an old storefront and renovated it into a loft in 2003. I loved living in Lafayette Square for three great years! So many restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and amenities within walking distance, including Busch Stadium and the Metrolink.

    First time visitors to Lafayette Park might assume it was lovingly built and maintained by a team of "Imagineers" on loan from Disney World. On my first visit I was amazed that a city park so beautiful could actually exist without a cover charge to enter. My hat's off to those dedicated people who made it happen and kept it looking fantastic.
