What a great, well-researched piece, Jackie. I hope some of what remains of Kerry Patch will be restored and repurposed. Thanks for this St. Patrick’s Day edition ☘️
Thanks Jolene! As for restoring and repurposing the Kerry Patch, well... it happens to be in the one part of St. Louis that has been largely ignored and under-developed for decades. It doesn't help that a lot of the remaining houses were gobbled up by developer Paul McKee, who is notorious for purchasing properties and letting them decay. There are some new homes being built, but nothing on the scale of what was once there, and without vibrant retail and entertainment options for the residents, I fear it will never really amount to much.
