The Dutchtown Community Improvement District recently introduced new sidewalk furniture along Meramec Street as part of their Shades of Summer rollout event. The aim of the furniture is to draw attention, encourage pedestrian traffic, and announce that Dutchtown is open for business.
Dutchtown Hosts Neighborhood Drive-In Movie Night
Dutchtown community organizations came together to host a socially-distant drive-in movie night for neighbors! This was thanks to a partnership between Downtown Dutchtown and numerous other partners including CBN members Dutchtown South Community Corp & Habitat for Humanity St. Louis.
Habitat for Humanity was able to use their large wall and parking lot to host the showing of Independence Day. Residents wore masks when outside of their cars and even set up a pedestrian area as well.
This collaborative event was also an opportunity for residents to buy food from local businesses, register to vote, and learn about neighborhood resources!
