Very nice. Gravois is great now along certain areas, but it could be a great urban street with a just a little work.

Fantastic shots. Thanks a lot!

It appears that Gravois has a lot of potential if a light rail line is constructed along it. There are many commercial areas along it; and it cuts through many residential neighborhoods. It is easy to see now why transportation planners of the 1960s were interested in constructing a subway underneath it.

Love it!



The Trautwein's Shoes sign is one of my all-time favs.

Fantastic pics of not just my favorite part of town, but a place that is really a part of who I am.

(well so, I'm not all hoosier, buy anyway)



The one looking down Delor with the Mill in the background is similar to the view out my front door my whole childhood.



Love it. but heck, don't just stop at Lemmons! There's plenty more good stuff all the way to River Des Peres and beyond.

Very nice. You captured some of my favorite images- One Nite Stand across from St. Fr. de Sales, Gravois Auto Seat, and the potato chip sign.

I told you they'd love it! You gotta get your brother to post his recent photo thread.

great pics! Gravois ties together so much of South St. Louis.



However, due to it's diagonal directions there are times though when I cross it from a North-South streetand then again from one going E-W I feel like Kramer when he thought he was at the Nexus of the Universe

As always, your pictures are outstanding and really give everyone from newcomers to the most knowledgable natives a sense for what makes Saint Louis a special place.



I often use Gravois to get from my humble South Side bungalow to downtown and near South Side neighborhoods, and so many of the landmarks pictured (like Bevo Mill and Saint Francis de Sales) along with some of the memorable signs (like the auto seat cover, Lemmon's, Chrome Bar, and Trautwein Shoes signs) remind me of why I love the Hoosier Highway. (Beyond Lemmon's, there are a couple of great places to get gyros, and that's another reason I love this street!)



It's about time we gave props to the Bosnian community for bringing that stretch of Gravois Avenue through Bevo to life. Signage and some basic street improvments could give the area the identity it deserves, and bolster community pride among the Bosnians that still call the area home.

I generally frown on the use of the word "hoosier" around here, but I gotta admit, I kinda like the sound of "The Hoosier Highway".



Great pics, by the way. I drive Gravois often, and have never seen it look so good. Sort of like the old adage "Salad always tastes better when someone else makes it".

Hoosier, is that what you call Bosnians, Croats and Roma these days? Take a walk around these Gravois neighborhoods, the "hoosiers" have largely migrated and there are new faces in town.



Great photos. I believe this is one of the most underrated parts of town.

It's like the promised land to them. They love it.

Now that's funny. I laughed out loud.

Reminds me a lot of the ethnic neighborhoods along Lawrence, Diversy, Devon etc in Chicago.... just fewer people....and no 'L' tracks



I wonder if the hot girls in front of the salon are on their way to see Osman Tambura at the one Nite Stand Music House.... "Osman..... he's so dreamy"
