The impressive Carrollton entrance, 4 lanes divided by a wide grassy median and this classic mid-century styled stone sign. That the eye-catching entrance remains after the neighborhood was destroyed struck me as ironic.

The City of Saint Louis removed every house in Carrollton, over 2000 homes in total, plus six churches, four schools and the community center, to make room for an unnecessary runway. But they left the sign at the entrance as if there was still a community thriving behind it, or a reason for anyone to go there.

Today the Carrollton entrance stands as a monument to egotism, greed and wasteful government spending.

Do you like the classic 50s look? It's due for a come back, you know.
