Is it the one by Coverdell Elementary in St. Charles?
^ I think you might have it...lotta power lines around that one too.
Also, holy suburban development lol. None of these homes are in Google Maps yet.

Correct! This thing is actually really cool. I was working, so didn't have time to play around, but there seems to be several locations where it just mysteriously pops up above and between the neighboring homes. And the surface has a weird semi-luminous quality about it.

A little research and it appears to be a long range radar for the FAA.

Virginia Ave in Compton Heights/Hill, a beautiful epitome of STL severed grid streets.
Is there any street in St. Louis that has more "interruptions" than Virginia Ave? A quick glance at Google Maps suggests at least 7 non-contiguous stretches.
Correct...and yes it is. I think this whole little corner of Compton Heights is often forgotten compared to the more famous homes along Longfellow and Hawthorne. But a great corner of the neighborhood nonetheless. So many fantastic buildings.johnnyqnola wrote: ↑Jul 29, 2021Virginia Ave in Compton Heights/Hill, a beautiful epitome of STL severed grid streets.
For those that like this game, St. Louis Public Library is trying to identify where some of the photos in their collection were taken from. There are 2 drop-in events where you can try and help figure out where the pictures were taken:

^Neat! It's a shame they can't post at least some of the older ones online, but I'm thrilled to see them crowdsourcing some of this. I once tried to contact a US Navy archive over a mistagged image and sometimes people just don't have the time. I'm thrilled to see that the library is listening.

I'm going to guess Shaw Park based on nothing but a hunch.
Might be that private street entrance off Union. Kingsbury place I think.
Think I recall one of the wealthy residents daughters posed for that sculpture?

^We clearly have similar libraries. "Rich as whipped cream but put together with control and unity. The sculpture, by Clara Pfeifer Garrett is titled Awakening of Spring, modeled, it was whispered, by the daughter of a resident family." A Guide to the Architecture of St. Louis by George McCue and Frank Peters, p. 79, W24. Kingsbury Place Gate. Yeah, that would seem to be it. Not sure where McCue and Peters got that little nugget.
