    "I love how diverse the neighborhood is. Neighbors say hello and watch out for each other. I walk at night but do stay between certain blocks, I wouldn’t walk Meramec towards Grand at night, but the inner neighborhood is good. Wish people and the city trash trucks did a better job on the litter though, sad to see airplane bottles, chicken wing bones, and broken glass all of over the streets. "

    "It's important to know your neighbors: thankfully, it's easy to do! There are generations of families living houses or blocks from each other, with many residents having been here long-term. My block is very friendly and culturally diverse. We socialize often. People are fairly helpful. This is a real neighborhood."

I moved here from Minneapolis and since I've been here I've been seeing a lot of vacant homes being renovated and blocks are being redeveloped. I think this could become the Boston of the Midwest. "
