I would bet $100 that some old white busy body or busy bodies complained until the courts were removed.

Let me tell ya, I could spend hours on your blog looking at the photos and finding old stomping grounds. Nice work! Please keep it up. Have you ever been to photograph the St. Louis Independent Packing Co's former property between Chouteau and Vandeventer? My grandfather used to work there and I would like to see how the building looks today. I think I found it on Google maps street view located by Spaghetteria Mama Mia but do not know which building it is with a certainty.

But, I see your point. Yet, look at the Census info from Tiffany. The data indicate that in 2010 the neighborhood was 84% black, 11% white and in 2000 it was 83% black, 12% white. So, black people are the overwhelming majority voice and there are really no excuses when you look at the numbers. If basketball is important to the neighborhood, the numbers are in the favor of folks that according to you are playing basketball in Tiffany.Mark Grothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778135869139492251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190846390008853053.post-82928189910287730832014-01-28T09:25:53.322-06:002014-01-28T09:25:53.322-06:00basketball is associated with blacks, so racist re...basketball is associated with blacks, so racist reactionaries remove the courts, so dumb.
