About this episode
South Kingshighway was once a bustling retail corridor touching a dozen south St. Louis neighborhoods. But years of disinvestment has left South Kingshighway in a state of disrepair. This week we introduce you to one family, the Garcias, led by brothers Ivan and Berto Garcia, which has taken it upon themselves to revive a nearly mile-long stretch of Kingshighway with new restaurants, coffee shops and other businesses. We also take a look at how Mayor Cara Spencer’s administration is shaping up and preview an event that will answer a pressing question: What exactly is advanced manufacturing?
