Description

In St. Louis’s South Side, people stand in line for frozen treats named for building subject material, and women used to wash their concrete steps each and every Friday. Within the South Side, a stop sign means “tap the brakes quick,” and a restaurant masquerades as a windmill. Within the South Side, a dentist once moonlighted as a murderer, and a bloody bank heist become the foundation for an early Steve McQueen movie. And Within the South Side, prepare to run if you happen to use a particular local slur. Suburban Journals reporter Jim Merkel brings nearly ten years’ experience in covering the South Side. Herein are one of the vital people, places, and events that made the South Side a spot like nowhere else. “South Siders are down-to-earth, good people,” this South Sider writes. “I am staying until they drag me away for good.”
