Italian, Irish, and immigrant heritage in the Gateway City — The Hill's bocce courts and the families who built St. Louis one brick at a time.
Birthplace of Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola — the Lombard miners who built this neighbourhood and the Italian-American community that made it one of the most intact in the country. Home of toasted ravioli and the Marconi Avenue bocce courts.
Irish HeritageNamed after County Kerry and built by Famine survivors — the near north side neighbourhood where 20,000 Irish immigrants settled in the 1840s–1860s and built the infrastructure of St. Louis from the levees to the railroad lines.
Irish HeritageOne of the most persistently Irish-American neighbourhoods in the United States — home to St. James the Greater, O'Connell's Pub, and the annual St. Patrick's Day parade that draws thousands back to the neighbourhood every March 17.
