Thank you for doing these videos. I learned so much about St. Louis.

I lived back there on Cleveland Place throughout my 20's when I first moved to St. Louis. SW Garden is very special to me. I loved all my neighbors. Everyone looked after each other and we were all close friends. It defined my 20's, being young. There were many drunk nights, spending summer days in the park, and even going through the pandemic lockdowns. It was just me and my two cats until I met my partner and moved to a different part of town. The neighborhood really transformed while I lived there. It used to be artsy, now gentrified for yuppies. Rent prices are too high after I watched building after building gutted and remodeled.

These are brilliant. I worked in STL for five years so great to watch these from the UK. Thanks ever so much for creating them.

You need to get over to Laclede’s Landing and document the new market/deli down there. Before it vanishes. I hope it does not, but…😬

Fascinating facts, especially on Cardinal Ritter and Sumner HS. There is a high school here in Sarasota, Florida that has just been restored that I swear is a carbon copy of William Ittner's design. One of these days I am going to stop and try to see if there are any plaques on the wall indicating its architectural history. The building is now an art institute. Thanks for posting.

People changed the world that came out of that neighborhood.👍🏼…very good..give us a hint on your next neighborhood..lol

Ittner also designed most of the high schools in Gary Indiana. Every time I see one of this schools in your videos I think of Emerson High School in Gary. They all look very similar :)

Thank you.😢😮😅😊

Beautiful area

You really know St. Louis, dude!

I see it's Sunny's Cantina now. Yup, KO'd a feller in there back in the day.

A lot of new stuff, but a lot of stuff that's been around for years, still there. Used to cash my checks at Columbo's. There used to be a bar down at Manchester & Kraft called Swaps where I scored my only career knockout, circa '88. I swear, I was walking past Tech Elec. back around 1980ish when I looked up and saw a jet with the space shuttle on top of it. Wonder if it's still there.

Nice presentation . Great because you did not injected a over extended monolog and focused on the key element of topic material .

Thanks for showing me Juanita. My mother years back, when giving our address at Famous Barr for something to be delivered would always say, "4329 Juniata, NOT Juanita." Apparently a lot of our stuff would be delivered there by mistake. I had a good friend who lived in the pink house opposite the main gate of Shaws Garden on Flora Pl. on the corner. Did not know the ruins at the lake came from Lindell Hotel. Compton Water Tower brings back memories when I was working at Incarnate Word Hospital on Grand and Lafayette. That STL U hospital used to be owned the the Missouri Pacific Railroad and operated as a hospital for its employees. Those homes on Flad were beautiful. Love the pavilions at TG Park. My father and I were walking through the park on day and saw Colonel Sanders addressing his managers at one of the pavilions up by Grand. And yes, he was dressed in his full regalia, white suit and cane and all. Thanks for the memories.

Best video yet! Loved the movie on the old SW Bank robbery. Will have to look that one up. I remember that neighborhood well, Central Hardware and R and F Spaghetti by O'Connell's Pub. I also remember by SW Bank Placke Chevrolet that was caddycorner. That Gringo Joe's looks interesting. I need to check that out on my next trip back home. I lived off Alfred Ave. but on the other side of the park where it runs into Juniata off Morganford. I went to SW High and I think that Journey Church used to be Holy Innocents if I am correct. That Piano Bar on Arsenal has been there for many, many years. There used to be a Velvet Freeze at the nearby corner of Hampton and Arsenal. Thanks so much for posting!

Tower Grove park is gorgeous. As forest park etc. Thanks, again.😢😮😅😊

I love these walking overviews. You give a great detailed view of the little things that make every neighborhood special.

Do one on the old kosciusko neighborhood….or even the patch neighborhood..unless you have and ive overlooked them.

I couldn't play it Tom but I'll try later. Hope all is well. I'll catch up on some of your other videos.

We lived at 3125 So. Jefferson. It was a beautiful old house. 2 story brick house. It's a parking lot now. Broke my heart to see that it was gone. I played across the street at Benton park. Thanks for the trip to memory lane. The houses were so beautiful back then.

The waterfall is beautifullllllllll😊 i love this video

The hours showing in the video I lived in 1913 Newhouse

Tom, thanks so much. Lovely STL botanical garden😉

Thanks for making this wonderful informative Video. Stay safe and healthy 🙏

stop voting democrat. they have ruined this city

That laundry place on grand used to be a schnucks a little over 20 years ago.

MAKE IT INTO AND ADULT TOY STORE. MANY PRIESTS WOULD BE GREAT CUSTOMERS !

AHHHH!!!!!!! What's with the fence between the pulpit and the audience??????????

Very informative. A map of neighborhoods would be very helpful.

Nice job filming Shaw and Shaw's Garden. They really do have a great day lily collection. The best one in the history of the world and the United States. Next time, check out Shaw's old museum. It's been amazingly restored. Also, really nice footage of the Garden Glow. Perhaps a subject for a full length video?

Excellent coverage of the neighborhood. Stay safe 😊

Very informative Mr Jackson. Ive gone to mass in the church.I would have enjoyed some history on convent and school that was part of church.

Thanks for another great video laced with historical information that I was unaware of before. The photography is truly on a professional level!

Very nice! Thank for another great video!

And here! Beautiful. 😢😮😅😊

⚡💪🙌🍀🎥 thank you for the share&education as well.

Nice review. Thanks for posting the content!

I feel compelled to comment for the sake of the algorithm for you. I like when small channels pop up in my feed. I must admit though, I probably won’t watch your whole video. Not for any good reason other than I’m not that interested right now. Maybe I’ll watch again with more focused intent. Cheers

Thanks so much for posting. This was an education for me. I was aware of that neighborhood but knew little about it. And certainly had never heard of Franz Park.

Thank you.😢😮😅😊

Hey Tom, thanks for the tour. I've lived on the other side of Dogtown [Oakland & Childress] since 1987. Believe it or not, I've never been to Columbo's. Thanks for the peek inside on St Pat's Day! Also it's amazing to me the number of small car lots and repair shops along Manchester. I enjoyed the historical tidbits you threw in. Thanks again!

Friend of mine from Minnesota just came down here on a whim so was able to hang out with her and show her around (Of course broke her in with Imo's pizza). She had gone to the arch the day before, so I took her around forest park, went through the science center, and my brain thought of the Central West End since we were so close, and a lightbulb went off in my head that she would probably appreciate this place. Last time I had stepped foot inside was for Stan Musial's viewing. Even for the non Catholics and even non religious... the artwork is breathtaking.

Thank you so much! That was wonderful! I hope I can visit! A.Steden,Cambridge On,Canada!💟🙏🏾❤️🇨🇦✝️

As all communities once were, JVL used to be a bustling area... nowadays it's on its way to becoming a totally desolate wasteland like much of St. Louis. Make no mistake, the same fate that Detroit was cursed with is the same fate that awaits St. Louis. Makes me want to cry. 🥲
