Photo by Dennis Daugherty Forest Park Southeast was first visited by Photo Flood St. Louis just over ten years ago in March 2015, which was flood 32. The northwest corner of the neighborhood “touches” Forest Park, thus where its name comes from. Photo by Anna Ratzlaff Forest Park Southeast...
photo by RJ Wilner Carondelet Park is the main recreational focal point for those neighborhoods located in the far south of St. Louis City, principally Bevo Mill, Holly Hills, Carondelet, The Patch, and Boulevard Heights. On our last visit (for Photo Flood 9), improvements to the Park were underway thanks...
photo by Mike Matney The Village of Elsah was founded in 1853 when a local quarry operator incentivized the purchase of stones by giving away land. Since then, the Village has seen ups and downs in its population, but remains one of the best preserved collections of 19th Century...
photo by Sue Rakers St. Louis’ Eads Bridge is among the most iconic structures of the city. As the world’s first steel, arch bridge, Eads impresses in both form and function (though it was not first, it is now the oldest bridge across the Mississippi River). In 2024, the...

Home to The Fabulous Fox, the St. Louis Symphony, The Pulitzer Foundation, and Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (among others), there is always a lot going on in this neighborhood.

photo by Mark McKeown Among the more interesting and storied of St. Louis bridges, Old Chain of Rocks Bridge, with its characteristic 30-degree curve in the middle, was the entryway for Route 66 into Missouri. Today, this pedestrian-only bridge offers sweeping views of the Mississippi River, while at its...
photo by Joe Harrison Some will argue that Downtown West is more “Downtown” than Downtown, and they definitely have some good reasons why that may be, including that it is one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in St. Louis. In fact, a lot has changed since even our last...
Photo Flood Saint Louis has an enormous amount of pride for St. Louis. We are very interested in improving the perception of STL, which we do by emphasizing what makes each neighborhood that we photograph, and every organization that we partner with, special.
