Jim Merkel - Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch

10/06/2010 7:00 pm

In St. Louis's South Side, people stand in line for frozen treats named for building material, and women used to scrub their concrete steps every Friday. In the South Side, a stop sign means "tap the brakes quick," and a restaurant masquerades as a windmill. In the South Side, a dentist once moonlighted as a murderer, and a bloody bank heist became the basis for an early Steve McQueen movie. Suburban Journals reporter Jim Merkel brings nearly ten years' experience in covering the South Side, recounting some of the people, places, and events that made it a place like nowhere else.
