Hidden History and Local Flavors of the Central West End

Przegląd
Join a local historian as they unironically butcher the French language as only a native St. Louisan can, while telling the complex, chaotic and often unjust history of St. Louis through the eclectic food and hidden rollercoaster history of its most populous neighborhood. From its pastoral beginnings to the Gilded Age - from Prohibition to Depression - from epicenter of society to party central to den of vice and back again; the artifacts of its complicated history remain visible to the naked eye if you just know where to look.
Discover why this beautiful turn-of-the-century neighborhood was named one of the “Great Places in America”, and hear the forgotten (and often unsavory) history and epic struggles that kept the CWE alive as much of the city decayed around it. Enjoy the perennially popular food and pastimes that locals cherish, a few laughs and a tiny bit of exercise as you hopefully fall in love with the neighborhood we love to call home.

Holy Corners District
Some of the most impressive architecture from the World's Fair era still remains, and it's completely outside of Forest Park. Hear hidden history and see artifacts from the early days of this "Valley of the Giants" listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis
St. Louis' European chapter began with the settlement of French Catholics, bolstered by the arrival of thousands of Irish Catholics throughout the 19th century. One can barely speak of any element of the history of St. Louis where the presence of the Catholic community was not felt, and the enormity of St. Louis' importance to the church was eventually made manifest in one of the great churches of the western world.

I was greatly impressed with the quality of the historical content in Mike Nichols' Tour of St. Louis' Central West End neighborhood. The information is fascinating and the story telling he includes enhances ones understanding of the social context in which the neighborhood developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
