College Hill Neighborhood in St. Louis 

Grandma lived on College Avenue and I stayed with her a lot. Now I live downtown. I've lived in just about every neighborhood in this city in my 67 years😮

First ten years of my life, I lived on Linton Avenue. Brother started kindergarten at Bryan Hill.

Glad you were safe walking through there. Because college hill is the straight trenches. A really dangerous neighborhood

Nice tours!

Grandma and I used to go to Perpetual help church on Sundays😊

St.Louis University got the property from O'Fallon the nephew of William Clark. I haven't seen that neighborhood in 20yrs. Thanks for the upload!

Love these tours!

Wonderful video as usual. When I was a kid I heard about the Bissel and Grand Ave. water tower but only saw them fleetingly once I believe while driving by enroute to our grandmother's house who lived North off Goodfellow on Garasche by the small arms plant. Do u know, can u go up in the Bissel Tower? I know sometimes they open the tower at Reservoir Park in Compton Heights for tours. I had to laugh looking at those schools, all built on William Ittner's design. I went to Horace Mann School on Juniata by Tower Grove Park. Looked like those schools and I remember that green iron fence around the school we would all run into when sliding down the hills during the snow in the schoolyard. I also heard of the Pink Sisters. My parents would talk about them but had never seen them. I thought someone told me it is a quiet order where they just pray and seldom talk. Not sure about that. Thanks again.

The church and school (the church burned down a long time ago) at the corner of Linton and north 20th street was called our Lady of Perpetual Help. I lived across the street until the age of 9. Now the whole neighborhood looks like a war zone. Disgusting.

Thanks for the tour of my old neighborhood. I lived about a half block down the street from the Bissell Tower on Blair Avenue in a south easterly direction away from Grand Avenue and toward Ferry Street. My buddies and I used to walk down Grand Avenue across Broadway and down to the Mississippi River to swim. It’s amazing that I am still alive after fully submerging in that water. Anyway, it was a good place to grow up in the 1950’s and 1960’s.

this man is brave he live in a blaq city like st louis
