North Grand Boulevard’s speeds are too fast to encourage business and pedestrian traffic, though there are a fair number of people on foot dodging cars on the sad blocks north of Grand Center. Mother’s Fish is still in business after all of these years (I could have sworn it used to be yellow). Below, this funeral home almost certainly was originally an Italianate country house that still dot the city.
But the beautiful Rock Church appears on the horizon, and is visible all the way from South St. Louis.
