Life in the Skinker DeBaliviere neighborhood is different from anyplace I’ve ever lived.
My partner and I moved to the neighborhood in 2012. Since moving to Saint Louis, I became interested in who the people were that lived in my house before me.
I did some research at the Saint Louis History Center and found that we were the 9th owners of the house. (The Malecek house. Does anyone know the Maleceks?
I would really like to talk to them!) The project I would like to start is twofold: 1 Collect pictures of the neighborhood (street scenes, kids playing outside, the outsides of houses) 2 Interview long term residents of the neighborhood on their experiences and recollections of living in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood.
If you have any thoughts on this, please contact me through the CONTACT page on the paper website. Mike
