Urban Hike: Through Carondelet to Sr. Marie Charles Park and Bellerive Park



















December 25th, 2010


You take the Central West End; I'll take Carondelet, for a variety of reasons:



  • # of trendy people: 0




  • Jay Farrar, formerly of Uncle Tupelo, presently of Son Volt, was inspired to write his song, "Sultana" while on a stroll above the river at Belle rive Park.


  • A giant community garden that was established in 1999, before every neighborhood had one.


  • Limitless variety of interesting sights and sounds that never grows tiresome even if things might get a little scary from time to time. So you might see a few prostitutes, or even be mistaken for one yourself. It's a small price to pay for keeping it real.
