For June’s Unseen STL History, we featured Route 66 aficionados Joe Sonderman and Elizabeth Olwig, who told stories about many of the sights one might have seen (and often, can still see) along the historic highway as it meandered through several routes in north and central St. Louis. You can listen to the talk by clicking the play button at the top of this post.

Unseen STL Talks in July
Our next Unseen STL History talks are going to knock your socks off! The July talks will take place on July 20th from 7-9 pm (doors open at 6 pm), at Spine Indie Bookstore and Cafe, 1976-82 Arsenal St. We will welcome Nathan Jackson and Mike Jones, who will be talking about the Soulard and Lafayette Square neighborhoods. Nathan runs St. Louis History and Architecture, a Facebook page and tour company devoted to St. Louis neighborhoods, and Mike is the author of the Lafayette Square Archives.
And as a teaser, in August we’re going to learn the truth about the Underground Railroad in St. Louis!
