I love this area so much! The proximity to Tower Grove Park is what has kept me sane while we go through this pandemic. Not to mention, there are so many different places to go and eat.

The local businesses are not very popular. I don't see a lot of people use the local businesses. The bigger companies receive most of people's attention. Most drive into other areas or counties for the businesses out there. The quality is better. You can get everything you need here, but better quality is found elsewhere.

There are many trees, so strong storms can cause branches to branch, which could possibly damage houses and/or cars. Usually at least one strong storm in the early spring to early summer. Winter can be very cold and can snow heavily. A warm coat is necessary in the winter. Fall does not last long, may a month or so. It can become extremely hot during the summer. It is necessary to have all types of clothing to accommodate each season. The weather does not really impact living.
