My son and I visited the Chain of Rocks bridge on a beautiful day. This place is a St. Louis treasure.
North Riverfront Park
This park is great for two reasons. First, of all the parks, this one has the best relationship with and access to the Mississippi River. This is the spot most popular with fishermen. Guys drive and walk right up to the banks and fish for mainly buffalo. This local delicacy, usually fried as described to me by the guy I talked to. You cast with heavy test line and poles that look like they are intended for the ocean. These fish get big.
The Riverview Neighborhood
Riverview was one of the few neighborhoods to gain residents in the 2010 Census count. There are now 304 people calling Riverview home! 69% black, 29% white and 2% Hispanic/Latino.
This is a unique place in St. Louis: it's shape, its topography, etc. It's really just a narrow sliver of land wedged between the St. Louis County cities of Glasgow Village, Riverview (the Village) and Bellefontaine Neighbors and of course the mighty Mississippi River. There's a lot going on in this little neighborhood of St. Louis.
