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 area. From its pastoral beginnings to the Gilded Age - from Prohibition to Depression - from epicentre of society to party central to den of vice and back again; the artefacts 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 area was named one of the “Great Places in America”, and hear the forgotten (and often unsavoury) 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 area we love to call home.
