Fairgrounds Neighborhood in St. Louis

[@charlescorey184]

Wow, who knew all those facts! Loved watching your video while riding out Tropical Storm Debby here in Florida! Brings back a lot of memories of STL. My mom was a graduate of Beaumont in the early 1940s. I remember riding by Fairgrounds Park while up North, my maternal grandmother lived in Wells-Goodfellow neighborhood on Garasche, but earlier lived on Warne Ave. I never knew about the zoo at the park and the park's rich and diverse history. My mom often went to Cardinal games at Sportsman's Park as part of the Knothole Gang. I think they sat in bleachers. Thanks so much for posting and making my night while the storm rages outside!

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

[@organstl]

That is interesting and good info. Thanks for sharing. I did not remember that.

It was a grand venue for outdoor gatherings and events. Incredibly dangerous now. I wouldn't recommend tourists stopping by there.
