Fight. And lose. #AllForCITY #STLRising #STL

Back in the days when as a region we were clamoring for international flights from the likes of WOW, Condor and other budget airlines, I kept throwing out names such as Lufthansa and BA. What was labeled a pipe dream has come true. Nothing short of a regional win. #stlrising

'It feels very good to have them here helping. Sometimes it feels overwhelming with everything you have to do. And I want to get the beds ready to plant.' - Pat Jones St. Louis City SC, The Ville and a legacy rooted in love🌿🥬🌻 'Where the Nita Walker Garden grows' 🖋 Kenya Vaughn | The St. Louis American 📸 Lawrence Bryant | St. Louis American In a patch of garden behind her church, a family legacy took root for Pat Jones. Behind historic St. James AME Church — in the heart of The Ville — sits the community garden she and her late sister, Juanita Walker, built with their own hands. Today, that garden bears Juanita’s name — the Nita Walker Ville Community Garden Within eyesight of the garden stands Sumner High School, the first high school for Black students west of the Mississippi. Its alumni list reads like a roll call of Black brilliance — including the one and only Tina Turner, Class of 1958. St. Louis City SC — the team currently wearing a kit inspired by Turner’s life and legacy — showed up to help Jones prep beds and plant vegetables in the neighborhood Turner once called home. The event was part of Major League Soccer’s Greener Goals initiative and a collaboration with Seed St. Louis and the United Way of Greater St. Louis. St. Louis City SC players rolled up their sleeves, grabbed shovels, and got to work. stlamerican.com/sports/st-lo… #STLGivingBack #STLBuildingCommunity #STLRising #StLouisCitySC #stlamerican
