    "I grew up in Glendale and graduated from Kirkwood High School. I moved out of the area when I was 20, to Sooth County. Then, at 25, I moved back to Glendale and lived there for 23 years. I raised my kids there. Glendale/Kirkwood are wonderful communities to live and raise a family in. It's so incredibly safe (especially Glendale) and the schools are top notch!!!! Very family friendly and beautiful!!!! You can't go wrong by living here! I love my neighborhood in South City but I still regret selling my house and moving out of such an awesome area!!!"
