Spring has finally arrived and with it many opportunities to get involved in the St. Louis Community.
Saturday, April 21: Rebuilding Day. Come rain or come shine over 2500 volunteers in the St. Louis area will be working to help elderly and disabled homeowners maintain the residences. It is too late to sign up for Rebuilding Day, but not too late to get involved with Rebuilding Together-STL.
Saturday and Sunday, April 21 & 22: The Grand South Grand House Tour. Tour begins at 11am and ends at 5pm each day. This is the yearly opportunity to peak inside homes and gardens in the 5 residential neighborhoods linked by South Grand: Compton Heights, Compton Hill Reservoir Square, Shaw, Tower Grove East and Tower Grove Heights. Tour the Fleur-de-Lys Mansion Bed and Breakfast (pictured below) on Russell Blvd. Then walk across the street to get a 360 degree view of the city from the top of the Water Tower in Compton Hill Reservoir Park.
Sunday, April 22: Earth Day Festival This year’s theme is LIVING GREEN and will be held in Forest Park and on the Muny grounds from 11 AM- 6PM. Highlights include entertainment on 2 stages, healthy choice food offerings, farmer’s market and electronic recycling collection.

Unfortunately, I missed the tour. I’m not too familiar w/ the South Grand area…. The website you linked mentioned it featured 5 neighborhoods all linked by S. Grand. I know where Shaw, Compton Heights & TGE are, but where is Tower Grove Heights & Compton Hill Reservoir Square? Are these smaller neighborhoods within the larger neighborhoods as layed out by StL’s CIN website?
Btw, I love your site!

Yes. Compton Hill/Reservoir Square is located between I-44, Russell Blvd., Compton and Compton Hill Place (the street the runs along the eastern edge of Reservoir Park. Tower Grove Heights is located in the north eastern corner of TGS and is bordered by Grand, Arsenal, Gustine and Utah Place. Thanks!
