Kingshighway is a major north-south street in the City of St. Louis proper. Part of it runs along Forest Park, the largest urban park in the United States. That stretch contains expensive apartment and condo buildings as well as the enormous Washington University Medical Center. The architectural contrasts are stark.
This image sums up the year just ended for me. It was taken in front of our largest health care complex, the vast Washington University Medical Center. Emergencies for children, emergencies for adults, a darkening sky. You can only get away for three blocks and then you have to stop. I hope for something much brighter on New Year's Day 2022.
Kingshighway is the main north-south boulevard through the center of the City of St. Louis proper. It passes through both grand and simple neighborhoods and forms the eastern boundary of Forest Park, the U.S.'s largest urban park. Every local college student taking introduction to art history is sent to a two-block section that holds a summary of Greco-Roman architecture: a line of four lovely buildings with Doric, Ionian and Corinthian columns. Along with neighboring historic structures, the intersection of Kingshighway and Washington Avenue is known as Holy Corners.
