WHO WE ARE
St Louis Place Community Association (SLPCA) brings neighbors together in order to present a collective voice of residents and businesses in efforts to promote economic development, cultural enrichment, neighborhood growth, stability and overall well-being.
SLPCA meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30pm at the Griot Museum, 2505 St. Louis Avenue. We look forward to meeting you there!
SLPCA sponsors summer concerts in our park, neighborhood cleanups and holiday celebrations throughout the year. SLPCA regularly connects neighbors at our meetings with government and social agencies who are making decisions that affect us. These include city and state elected officials, members of city planning and development offices, representatives of Peter and Paul Community Services and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) among others.

OUR BLOG
St Louis Place joined with neighbors from Old North St Louis and Vandeventer Neighborhoods for a delicious holiday dinner. Mayor Jones visited. Young members of the Black Repertory Theater also dazzled us with their performance of The Secret Gallery: African Arts Adventures. We are blessed to be hosted for events like this by the Griot Museum of Black History in our neighborhood.
Wishing you Blessed Holidays and a Happy New Year!
