Three major commercial streets form the border and one cuts through the middle of Tower Grove South, providing all the necessities for shopping, dining, and entertainment. There are numerous small shops and businesses scattered throughout the neighborhood as well.
THIS YEAR'S YARD SALES were a great success and rather popular again, the weather turned out to be fantastic! We saw lots and lots of traffic up and down our streets all day long. It was great! Thanks to all who held a sale and thanks to all who shopped til they dropped! We hope you found some bargains while helping to de-clutter our neighbors' garages, basements and closets!!!
NEXT YEAR we hope for much of the same...
So Save the Date-- first Saturday in May

GREAT STREETS INITIATIVE SOUTH GRAND: Public Meeting and Design Charrette Announcement
Good Evening Everyone,
Dear Neighbor,
As your alderman I take seriously any action that affects the quality of life here in our neighborhood.
Last week, I was summoned to a hastily organized meeting in the mayor's office. The improvements to South Grand have been fast-tracked by the metropolitan planning organization called East-West Gateway. They have retained a design firm to engage the community and offer a redesign of Grand Boulevard between Arsenal and McDonald.
