A quick visit to Carondelet Park revealed many new (to us) treats including way-finding signs, exterior stone park signs, much needed tree removal/remediation and promise/curiosity centered around the historic railway bridge near the YMCA/Mulch Pit.

The Holly Hills Neighborhood
Holly Hills is a beautiful mix of mansions and homes built in the 1920’s that form a gorgeous setting just north of Carondelet Park. Holly Hills at the terminus of South Grand and is a gem of City living. Clean and manicured, this neighborhood is a showplace. This post includes an original tour from 2010 and some updates in 2020.
