Lucky To Live Here in St. Louis

As Tootie once said

in one of our favorite classics,

Meet Me In St. Louis

"Wasn't I lucky to be born in my favorite city?"

There are thousands of things that

we LOVE about this city we 

call home. There are so many hidden gems,

things to do, places to see, people to meet,
and the list goes on. And while we'd love to
say "everything" is why we feel lucky
to live here in this city,

one of our absolute favorite parts of 

living in St. Louis is hands down, what we locals call,

South City. 

Geographically broad,

but locally tight knit. It's the place

we have called home now for

7 years. The Neighborhoods

all have that old city charm. The kind where
every street is

lined with brick houses, each unique
in structure and aesthetic. Local parks, 

like Francis Park,

where everyone goes to

walk their dogs. And it seems just about
every person you meet people is friendly, like
you both have a mutual understnading
of your love for the city. 

On top of all of that, there always seems to

be something going on, whether it

be Grub and Groove, Tour de Francis,

Macklind Days, or even just a

friendly neighborhood block party.

There's never a dull moment.

Embedded in the cozy neighborhoods, 

you will find lots of local eaterys and

shops. The convenience is such a bonus!

Some of our favorites include

Koho Boutique, The Mack, 

Mack Ave Deli (MAD deli), 

Copper Pig, Pub 9, Onestos,

Pueblo Solis, Russells, Donut Drive thru,

 Soha Art Gallery, just to name a few.

Check out our photo journal below of

some of a few of our favorite

South City Things.

OH! And did we mention we live
ONE MILE from 
Ted Drewes!?

South City Garden: You can't pick what you don't

grow. Neighbors come and maintenance this garden

daily. It also has a place for people to compost. 

Walking your dog around the neighborhood, you'll
always take interest in other people's landscapes
and unique architectures.

Turns out, The Donut Drive in doesn't just
have great donuts; it's also a great spot for
a photo shoot.

We've eaten more biscuits than we care 
to admit at Russell's Sunday brunch. You
won't find better ones in town!

You can always find a unique spot to take
some outfit pictures in South City

As avid music and fasion lovers, there
is nothing quite like living two blocks away
from a Record Store AND a cute boutique.
