^ Foundation work has started on the Accomac infill. I believe these will be four for sale rowhomes with the design as approved by Preservation Board (and not detached single-fams.).
$140k building permit application submitted to convert 2726 Accomac from 2-fam to single-family.

The former LRA lots on Geyer (facing I-44) are getting their modules in place today. I did not know it was a pre-fab project and a heavy crane was used to lift separate first and second floor modules. The front facade will be bricked later. Will be interesting to see the finished product but here's a pic from this afternoon.

Pretty interesting article about the St. Francis de Sales church in Fox Park.
They draw more than 700 people on Sundays for Latin services, being only 1 of 2 churches in the Archdiocese allowed to have full Latin masses. Since 2020, they've grown from 200 to 600 registered families, likely the best preforming church in the city.
The article has an anecdotal story from a family of 8 who moved from St. Clair County to Fox Park so they could walk to church. They apparently give neighborhood tours to other church members, showing off the neighborhood. The church also advertises in the bulletin for members to live on the neighborhood.
There's another anecdote about a family of 5 who went to church there while on vacation from Florida and loved it so much they moved to the St. Louis area so they could attend services there.
They are also undergoing a $15M renovation that has already added air conditioning and catching up on years of maintenance that there previously was not money for on the church itself and former school building.
