I make short videos about St. Louis and places to which I might travel. I like to feature car shows, street fairs, and other events.
Cahokia Mounds -- Southwest Illinois' World Heritage Site
Cahokia Mounds is an archaeological site in southwest Illinois thought to be more than one thousand years old. At its peak it was larger than London in the year 1100 AD. Excavation and study of the burial mounds is ongoing, as is renovation of the museum. Studies suggest that there were mass burials as a result of ritual sacrifice.

Amazing video
Hey thanks.
Moved to St. Louis in 1992 and loved going to Soulard Market early on Saturday mornings. Back then every stall was occupied and the place was packed with customers. There was a tiny walk in pet store w cats, dogs & other animals. The more unusual items were frozen raccoons with the feet left on and a place that sold quail & duck eggs.
Yes, I remember the pet shop. It sells BBQ now. Sometimes there is a place selling live chickens and ducks.
Look at all the tents! That's what I like about this beach, it's usually a pretty chill place to be on weekends!
Yes, I have been going there for decades and I don't remember tents there in the past.
I missed the German booth.👍
This festival appeared to be much larger than in previous years. It stretched all the way from Grand Blvd. to the central circle. There were many hundreds of booths. It was 92 degrees and I couldn't see them all.
@@MrDEWaters That's fine thanks for sharing.
West County Mall used to be a Drive-in Theater in the early 1960s when 270 was built
I wasn't here in the 60s but I do remember the older version of the mall in the 80s that had one story and tile flooring. It was rebuilt and enlarged in the 90s I think.
I love this neighborhood! The houses at 20, 32, and 2:40 are the best. They all look like they've been in horror movies. The spiked wrought iron fences and gates are perfect. I would so want to live in one of those houses.
Great memories. My mother lived there in the Allen Market Apts. It was hectic during Mardi Gras. We shopped at Soulard and ate at Bogarts one weekend. She's gone 😢 but thanks for the memories. ❤️
I grew up there and a guy my old man new had a stand and I used to sling fruit for him and go one block away to school and then work for him after school
Well Done. So peaceful. 🫠
It was 90 degrees but the puffy clouds look good on video.
Great video and great music! Soulard was one of our favorite hangouts (especially Molly's) when we lived there between 1987 and 2001. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, we'll be back there in a few weeks to visit. Really looking forward to it!
What an amazing place! How did any of this survive urban renewal?
That's right. the City of St. Louis lost two-thirds of its population after World War II when many of the old factories became obsolete and there was massive movement to the suburbs. In general people didn't want to live in the hundred year old houses that had deteriorated---but some were willing to fix them up to their original condition.
Wonderful State Fair Ride Video!!!! F+L, Corey
Another one might be coming soon. I will try to get to go both to Springfield IL and Sedalia MO this year.
Interesting!
St. Louis is a beautiful city thanks for a great video 😊
Thanks for watching!
Yes, thank you.😢😮😅😊
Go the hospital where the exorcist happened 😮
They tore that hospital down I believe it was called Alexian Brothers
There's reality, then there's fiction. Batman isn't real...sorry to bust your bubble, but someone has to do it.
@@garryferrington811 No, it really happened. There were events in St Louis that inspired the Exorcist book and film. Look it up. Whether or not the kid was really possessed by a demon is up for debate.
GIVE US NARRATION, NOT AEROPORT MUSIC !
A unique place. Beautiful day. 😎 Enjoyed the video- Keep up the good work.
The Soulard area, where the Lemp Mansion is located, has many beautiful homes of French architecture. I'm curious where House #2, the one that resembles the Addams Family home, is located...

That’s not soulard.. it’s Benton park
Metro was built 20 years after my time in St. Louis and the airport had just become The Lambert- St. Louis International Airport. Thanks for a beautiful video, Don.👍👍
Security has been ramped up on the metro lines lately and also there are new trains on order--possibly for next year.
Hi Dan, Thanks for showing the sculptures, the giant eyeball looks like my plastic eye prosthesis.✨✨
I might make another video in this park. There are lots of other things i didn't show.
Look like everyone was having a great time. Stay safe and cool. 🙂
What a beautiful City suburb. Thank you for bringing back memories of our family cars of the 50s. Dad had a 1953 ford Ranch Wagon and a 56 Chevrolet and a 59 Ranch Wagon. My 1st car was a black 1959 Ford Galaxie, if I remember correctly it cost $900 in 1970. Dad bought it as a graduation present for me right before he went To Vietnam. I looked at the Census figures for St Louis and saw that it grew by about 80,000 people since I lived in Missouri. Thankyou for sharing, Don!👍
Also there was a white 1959 Chevrolet station wagon just like one my uncle had.
The core problem is the wine isn't very good. Investors need to stop trying to make Augusta Napa.
I agree. The Hoffman company is mostly interested in real estate development in my opinion.
Great music. These streets and houses remind me of the Garden District in New Orleans.
I have been to New Orleans twice and I think old parts of St. Louis look a lot like it. Much of St. Louis was torn down in the mid-20th century unfortunately.
When is the annual tour of Lafayette Square and it's homes and monuments? It used to be in June?

Thanks for playing exciting music for the beautiful community of St.louis soulard, it amazing, I will always love this city and what it’s have to offer ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, I think the music is important in these videos.
St. Louis is a beautiful city---and I think it will be better with time.
Wow....used to live in St. Charles. Beautiful town!
I had the impression that there were more different things to see and do since the last time I was there.
That place still looks fantastic. I haven't been to that Market in decades. Awesome Video. 😊
It was a perfect day weather-wise. I'm glad you liked it.

Wow, beautiful park. Nice place to go for walking and relaxing. Background music is so good. Thanks for showing us around. I really loved watching this video. New sub here:) Have a nice day
I'm glad you liked it!
yours channel have a some problem.
Nicely done 🫠🫠
I'm glad you liked it. Today was the perfect spring day----although storms moved in later.
Hey, I'm editing a vlog I made of the eclipse, but I forgot to get b-roll. Could I use some clips from this video in my video (I'll shout you out)
No problem.
@@MrDEWaters tysm
👍
A great town and great video!
Thank you!
I was not in any danger, as this is an upscale area. I presented this as an example of a place that is fascinating because it is a zone usually not encountered ordinarily. It invites exploration.
I don't believe in ghosts, but clearly this neighborhood looks creepy. The architecture is certainly magnificent from the viewpoint of someone who was present in the 1800s and it is quite remarkable to us today. The Lemp Mansion welcomes visitors who stay there hoping to experience ghostly visitations but of course I am skeptical of what they are actually seeing.
I love the the architecture of bygone periods. The craftsmanship alone is spectacular when you consider the tools they had available to use.
@@trishc135 Bricklayers in St. Louis were sought after in other cities, due to their skill.
Nice Video 😊 Stay safe out there.
Some areas are not places that look safe---I'll try to avoid those.
Please name the areas.
These are the blocks just south of Cherokee St., near the Lemp brewery.
I'll make another video showing the fronts of the houses. 😃
Sure it’s creepy in some places.😮
Spooky 👻 I like it. It reminds me ot that 1970's Halloween Movie.
Nice video. I love Vintage Cars. 😊
Nice 😊 looks like a great day to record.
Yes, the weather was perfect.
Very interesting. A must see if you go to Bellingham, Washington
I didn't know what to expect--but I was very surprised.
Nice 😊
I bought a rustic chair for my back yard at the pickers' market.
@MrDEWaters cool I hope you got a Great deal. 🙂
Ha! I filmed here last month! First time I'd ever been there. Of course, who knows when I'll ever get it edited and published.... 🙄
Excellent Video 😊
Glad you liked it----I got a new S23 phone that has much better stabilization than the old one.
@@MrDEWaters Cool. I'm still considering upgrading from the S22.
Cool 😎
Nice 🙂
