Driving Around St. Louis Hood - "Fairground" Neighborhood in 4k Video

Filmed on Sunday, August 18 2024, I drive around the Fairgrounds neighborhood of St. Louis to see what's going on. The Fairgrounds neighborhood received its name as a result of the many fairs that were held at present-day Fairgrounds Park. The fairgrounds were closed during the Civil War, as it was converted into barracks, but reopened again in 1866. The last Fair was held in 1902. The City eventually bought the grounds for $700,000 for use as a park, which was dedicated in 1909. #drivingtour #stlouis #ghetto
