History in the Making The newest addition to the Loop Landscape will make its appearance on July 29 in the Loop.
A statue honoring the great Chuck Berry will be located at the new plaza at Delmar/Melville, alongside the new Centennial Greenway as it crosses Delmar and goes north.
The friendship and partnership of Chuck Berry and Joe Edwards has had an unforgettable impact on both men.
The ever-innovative Edwards worked with many others to insure that cultural icon Berry be recognized for his lasting contributions to the Loop and St. Louis as a whole.
The unveiling ceremony happens on July 29 at 9:30 for dedication of the Centennial Greenway and 10:00 a.m. for dedication of the Chuck Berry statue. KMOX Radio will be broadcasting live from 9 – 11 a.m.
All are invited to participate. For more information, go to www.visittheLoop.com.
