Thanks so much for watching- the one on Benton Park Neighborhood takes in part of that. We start at Hodak's and eventually get to Cherokee Street and the Lemp Mansion. The other one I have on that is the Cinco de Mayo Parade and Festival- that is just of the festival with the people and food. That is what I have on Cherokee so far- thanks for the question.

It's beautiful- thanks again.

@@organstl I shared your video with my brother and daughters they also resided on the hill for many years.

@@ernestclary6035 Thank you so much- that's awesome! I really appreciate it!

Awesome- great band. Riverport will always be Riverport. Ha!

Yes! My dad talks about that all the time. He grew up in Benton Park and went to St. Agnes grade school- and there was a man selling pretzels nearby.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you found the video!

That is awesome that you contributed to such a unique, beautiful neighborhood! This is fantastic!

Thanks for watching- I appreciate your time. It can be quite confusing- there were many bypass and alternative routes. It did go over the MacArthur Bridge- which included a car deck- before it went over the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge- which it went over in the 1930s. There are all kinds of different routes and re-routes that were part of it also. It's hard to keep track of all of it.

@organstl Oh.....ok... thanks 👍

Yes! 😀 They don't hold back on the bacon!

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and sharing your story! I'm glad you found it and really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for watching and the kind words- I really appreciate it. Yes, Butch is a St. Louis hero!

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you found it. I really appreciate it.

Yes Benton Park is also named after Thomas Hart Benton. I also say "Show tow" like everyone else but was just pronouncing Auguste Chouteau's name like that for the video- It was pronounced differently, but we have "Americanized" it. Ha!

That's awesome. A lot of history there and many legends. That is a cool school to be a part of. I showed that in the Academy/Sherman Park video. You might like that one.

I did this! It was very good and funny! He's very good. Thanks for the comment- I wasn't paying any attention to that at the time.

Thanks so much for watching.

Good question.

Aww that's a shame. That's a sad story but thanks for sharing that. I'm glad you found the video and I could share some of it with you this way. I hope you liked it. Thanks for commenting- I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate this- it brightened my day.

Thanks for watching. Much appreciated 😀

It is important to keep everything up to date and looking good- one thing I give them credit for are the flowers around the city in the spring and summer. They make things look really nice. I've seen them around Ballpark Village, along Market Street, Laclede's Landing, and all around in different spots- and they do make a difference and make things look good- no one really ever mentions those.

Thanks and you stay safe too 🙏

Thanks so much for watching and the comment. TWA was awesome- I still have a paper card of theirs in a box from when I was a kid and we went on a couple of flights. Lots of history here with McDonnell Douglas.

That's awesome- I'm glad you found this video. Thanks so much for watching and sharing this info. That's so cool that your mother was a state rep! It really is a gem of a school!

Thanks so much for the kind words. They are truly appreciated.

Thank you for watching and the kind comment!

That's so cool. That's an awesome story. Thanks for sharing that. It's a beautiful place and they keep it up great.

Thanks Jim! Your support helped me get to this point. I haven't forgotten you. I might work my way up from the Patch and Carondelet if I get time.

Thanks for your time and the kind words- they are appreciated.

Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it.

Actually, St. Louis County does exist. St. Louis CITY is not a part of that county. Ferguson is a part of that county.

St. Louis County is located in eastern Missouri. It is bounded by the City of St. Louis and the Mississippi River to the east, the Missouri River to the north, and the Meramec River to the south. At the 2020 census, the total population was 1,004,125, making it the most populous county in Missouri. Congressional districts: 1st, 2nd Founded: October 1, 1812 Largest city: Florissant Seat: Clayton #GoogleWorks

Thank you! I think I do vaguely remember that. I'm going to ask some other people now that you say that to see if they can jog my memory a bit more.

Thanks for watching and the comment. Very much appreciated.

Thanks so much- really appreciate it. Especially from Chicago 😂- well you were there I think. Is that still where you are?

You're welcome. Hope you had a fun Halloween. 🎃

Thanks for watching. 😀🤠🤓👍

Thanks for watching and the comment. I really appreciate the kind words.

Thanks for watching. It was a really fun neighborhood to walk around.

Thanks so much for watching! I don't think so. I forgot to capture the food my niece and nephew got. They had chicken strips, macaroni & cheese, and a pretzel with cheese sauce. And they had soda, I had a free beer and my sister had a free mixed drink that came in a can. And a bunch of kids were singing along and having a dance party. It was hectic in that courtyard area and I forgot to record that stuff. The juggling circus act was cool also and the headless horseman. You can see a lot of animals on the tram ride at the beginning.

@@organstl Sorry My Mistake. I think I may have confused this with the activities they have or had in Alton, Illinois. 🤪 I still enjoyed your video. Stay safe 🙏

@@jacketmannmarvin5186 That could be. Alton is really beautiful too. Stay safe.

Yes that was funny. Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it. 🎃👻👽💀🕷🕸

Happy Halloween! 👻👽🎃

Yes it was awesome! Thanks for watching!
