Always Improving
In recent years, St. Louis has invested over $2 million in
improvements in and around the downtown area. Victorian
streetlights, trees and landscaping, stamped concrete, new
sidewalks, parking lots and alleyways combine to create
a quality atmosphere for downtown shoppers. M-46 and
Business Route US-127 are both scenic entryways to the
downtown and there is ample convenient parking so that our
stores are accessible. St. Louis continues to work hard in this
area for the benefit of its citizens as well as its guests. For
