Skinker DeBaliviere and DeBaliviere Place continue to become more dense, with infill taking place on long-vacant empty lots. It’s great to see more development in this bustling part of town, now I wonder if there will be desire to open up the streets and make the neighborhood more functional and efficient to get around.
Vandeventer Estates and the Deaconess Center for Child Well-Being are bringing some love, new residents and smart development to the neighborhoods just north of Delmar. This project is continuing to evolve with new homes on C.D. Banks and Finney. This stretch of Vandeventer looks better than it has in years.
A life-affirming interview with a Yale student and member of the world-renowned “Whiffenpoof” a cappella group is a St. Louis native and product of the St. Louis Public Schools. He and the rest of the group are performing in town October 13-15th. Go check them out and help spread the love.
