Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch: St. Louis's South Side

Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch: St. Louis's South Side
- Used Book in Good Condition
In St. Louis's South Side, people stand in line for frozen treats named for building material, and women used to scrub their concrete steps every Friday. In the South Side, a stop sign means "tap the brakes quick," and a restaurant masquerades as a windmill. In the South Side, a dentist once moonlighted as a murderer, and a bloody bank heist became the basis for an early Steve McQueen movie. And in the South Side, prepare to run if you use a particular local slur. Suburban Journals reporter Jim Merkel brings nearly ten years' experience in covering the South Side. Herein are some of the people, places, and events that made the South Side a place like nowhere else. "South Siders are down-to-earth, good people," this South Sider writes. "I'm staying until they drag me away for good."
