To be truly honest, it's been all the new construction for people to see the University Circle neighbor completely coming together..besides the obvious previous strong holds of employment and museums. Every year it's becoming more and more connected as more crains go up. There's a ton of urban infill and TOD development happening, creating an awesome sense of place.

I haven't been to U. Circle specifically since this past spring. I saw a few cranes. Good to hear its establishing a broader footprint

Portland Place in St. Louis, in the Central West End, west of Kingshighway along Lindell and across from Forest Park, features extremely large mansions. It also has extremely high security to keep out the less friendly ghetto populations to the north. These mansions are all prior 20th century, and some of the largest I've ever seen. 3 floors on average.

That wasn't done to keep out the "ghetto populations" at all. Portland and westmoreland places were established as private places long before any surrounding neighborhoods started getting shady. There are lots of private places in St. Louis. Trustees created them to be exclusive enclaves for the extremely wealthy. It had nothing do with ghettos.
