Cherokee in Benton Park West
St. Louis, MO - maybetoday - Monday, April 23rd, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Benton Park West borders Benton Park on the west, with the dividing line being Jefferson. BPW was built up around the 1860's by Germans as a working-class, residential area. Cherokee Street through Benton Park and BPW is a historic, commercial artery running through the middle of these neighborhoods. Over the years, many Hispanic immigrants have moved into the area, opening several amazing Mexican restaurants, markets, and shops. BPW hasn't received the level of investment that Benton Park has. However, it is a vibrant neighborhood which has come a long way in the last decade.

The old housing stock in St. Louis is so strange. They look like detached rowhouses from different cities planted down along the street. Very neat.

Checkout the article on "Celebrate Your Town", the essay that put Benton Park "West" in as a finalist. The Suburban Journal messed up and used the article about Benton Park West as being written about Benton Park.

Abandoned Vespa
Apparently, someone has abandoned a Vespa on a side-street in front of a brownstone in Prospect Heights... The limbs of the bushes are actually growing through the handlebars, there's a rusty propane tank sitting on the floorboard and the tires...
