Moved to St. Louis in 1992 and loved going to Soulard Market early on Saturday mornings. Back then every stall was occupied and the place was packed with customers. There was a tiny walk in pet store w cats, dogs & other animals. The more unusual items were frozen raccoons with the feet left on and a place that sold quail & duck eggs.
@MrDEWatersАй бұрын
Yes, I remember the pet shop. It sells BBQ now. Sometimes there is a place selling live chickens and ducks.

@MrDEWaters2 ай бұрын
That's right. the City of St. Louis lost two-thirds of its population after World War II when many of the old factories became obsolete and there was massive movement to the suburbs. In general people didn't want to live in the hundred year old houses that had deteriorated---but some were willing to fix them up to their original condition.

What a beautiful City suburb. Thank you for bringing back memories of our family cars of the 50s. Dad had a 1953 ford Ranch Wagon and a 56 Chevrolet and a 59 Ranch Wagon. My 1st car was a black 1959 Ford Galaxie, if I remember correctly it cost $900 in 1970. Dad bought it as a graduation present for me right before he went To Vietnam. I looked at the Census figures for St Louis and saw that it grew by about 80,000 people since I lived in Missouri. Thankyou for sharing, Don!👍

I don't believe in ghosts, but clearly this neighborhood looks creepy. The architecture is certainly magnificent from the viewpoint of someone who was present in the 1800s and it is quite remarkable to us today. The Lemp Mansion welcomes visitors who stay there hoping to experience ghostly visitations but of course I am skeptical of what they are actually seeing.
