With 47 custom shovels at the ready to commemorate the event, a small army of Burberry-clad townsfolk braved the chilly weather in downtown St Louis. They gallantly stepped outside of their luxury automobiles long enough to break ground for the first phase of Ballpark Village (BPV). While this day has been long in the making, […]
