STL Neighborhoods: Marine Villa 18 of 79

We are launching ongoing miniseries: STL Neighborhoods. We have 79 of them in St. Louis City. How were they formed? Where are they located? How did they get their names? We have a lot of questions. Join Matthew and Lucas as they try to learn as much as they can about the city we live in neighborhood by neighborhood. This first episode is about Marine Villa in the southern area of the city. Midtown (central) will be the next neighborhood, followed by Vandeventer. After these first three are completed will choose the neighborhood by a randomization app. For research and notes check out the full show notes here: http://bit.ly/marinevillastl [http://bit.ly/marinevillastl] Have feedback?
