Another neat tidbit about this neighborhood is that the Rivertrail cycling path runs right through it. Residents can hop on their bikes and take the trail south all the way to the arch without ever riding on a street with cars. Or take the trail north and over the Chain of Rocks Bridge to the massive trail network in Illinois. That would be the greatest neighborhood for a cyclist. Craig and I have cycled through there many times. Oh yeah, and Cementland, what a fascinating place! This really is a great area.

When the leaves are off the trees, they're looking right onto the river and into Illinois. They bought the place for so cheap that they were able to afford remodeling it (very tastefully) for more room. And that's the case with all of the ranch houses in their immediate area: no one knows it's there! Added bonus: still in the city boundaries, so they have suburban living with urban pedigree. Thanks for covering this deeply hidden, gem of an area. I have friends who live in a 50s ranch house on the bluffs.

As a part of my job I visit the children at their homes. I drive all over Glasgow Village as well as other areas in which my students live. I am vested in the community and invested in North County. The district will have yet another Superintendent soon. Maybe this one will get on board with 'a new wave of progress'. I would like to be bigger part of the solution. Please contact me.

And thank you for the brochure image. I am a member of Glasgow Village Friends, because for many years my grandma, aunts and cousins all lived in Glasgow Village. I also had lots of friends who attended St. Pius. Just updated your name in the credit to Campbell... thanks again. Lori, your book sounds like a great idea! And thank you for the brochure image.
