2018 RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS

Whether you’re moving to a spacious suburb or to an apartment in the heart of the city, you’ll always have access to the area’s “regional backyard,” Forest Park. Measuring 1,293 acres, Forest Park is nearly 500 acres larger than New York City’s Central Park and also ranks as the 6th most visited urban park in the United States.

Since its establishment in 1876, Forest Park has served as a refuge for both local wildlife and its 13 million annual visitors. Many still consider Forest Park “the soul of St. Louis,” a nickname tied to its role in preserving the metropolitan area’s natural beauty while also containing several major cultural institutions.

The founders of Forest Park intended for the area to be open to everyone regardless of economic status, so many of its attractions are free for general admission. In 2017 the Saint Louis Zoo was recently voted the #1 zoo in the nation by USA Today, housing over 17,000 wild animals of roughly 560 species and drawing in three million visitors annually.

After you visit the new polar bear exhibit, visit some of the park’s other free attractions, such as the Saint Louis Art Museum, which contains work spanning five millennia from six continents, or the Missouri History Museum, which provides an in-depth look at the city’s influence on American culture.

These locations provide new exhibitions every year that remain on display for several months before new ones take their places. These exhibitions often require an additional fee, but inclusive memberships to either museum are also available.

You don’t need to be a science buff to enjoy the Saint Louis Science Center, which also offers a free general admission to displays designed for all ages. This location’s main attraction is the James S. McDonnell Planetarium, a 24-meter dome used primarily for displaying a 360-degree view of a simulated night sky, but also screens movies periodically. Tickets for the planetarium shows are available for purchase both upon arrival and online.

Forest Park remains a point of St. Louis pride with the diligent upkeep of over 45,000 trees, architectural hotspots such as the Jewel Box greenhouse, and America’s oldest and largest outdoor musical theater, the Muny. Want to learn more about your new home? Forest Park is a great place to start.

More than our

ARCH

Building your knowledge of St. Louis architecture.

By Moe Godat

Photography by Calla Massman.

2018 RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS

The Arch is naturally the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of St. Louis architecture; any St. Louisan will agree that it should be the first stop on your architectural tour. However, St. Louis architecture deserves a deeper look.

In 1764, the designers of the newly established St. Louis based the style of the city on Montreal, a French settlement in Quebec, Canada.

The city’s buildings and homes were styled with French Hamlet roofs, wrap-around porches and a trademark sparkling white. However, the style quickly changed with the growth of river trade. After the devastating fire of 1849, which burned down over 430 buildings, St. Louis passed a code requiring every building to be made of either brick or stone.

This building code played a huge role in the budding architecture of the area. Private streets were built for the wealthy to find a sense of separation from the common population and commerce of the city. Vandeventer Place, a private street designed by Julius Pitzman, quickly became St. Louis’s most exclusive address during the late 19th century. The gates of Vandeventer Place still stand proudly in Forest Park by the Jewel box.

The Jewel Box is a locally significant piece of architecture itself. An art-deco style greenhouse, this location is a hotspot for weddings and events in Forest Park. With its eye-catching floral displays and glass walls, its no wonder Pitzman decided to build Vandeventer Place so close to it.

Julius Pitzman became one of the most renowned architects in the St. Louis area. He went on to design many other private streets such as Compton Heights, Washington Terrace and Parkview in St. Louis, and also served as the head engineer of the Forest Park project.

Looking for something a bit newer? Check out the newest building added to the national historic registry at 700 Market Street. Built by the famous architect Phillip Johnson in 1974, the building was vacated in 2004 and remained unused until being recently bought by Spire Energy, formerly the Laclede Group.

The structure’s beautiful façade of windows and strong black columns will drawn you in; don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed once inside.

These are just a few of the architectural attractions of the area.

Our Arch is just the gateway to the architectural marvels preserved for the enjoyment of visitors and locals alike.

CORTEX

Innovation Taking Root

By Katie Piloski Photography by Cortex Staff

When most people think of St. Louis, science and technology are far from their minds.

However, that is changing due to the Cortex Innovation Community. Founded in 2002, Cortex has been the leading innovation hub in the Midwest ranging from topics of technology research, bioscience and commercialization.

Though they are not the first science and research company in St. Louis — Science Center, Planetarium, Missouri Botanical Gardens — they sure are making heads turn.

The Cortex Innovation Community, settled between historic Central West End and the Forest Park Southwest Residential District, neighbors to IKEA — currently have 200-acres of hubs and technology boroughs with 250 companies already residing in the Community.

Providing state-of-the-art biomedical science and top-notch technology research facilities is possible through their sponsors: BJC, Missouri

34

2018 RELOCATING IN SAINT LOUIS

Botanical Gardens, SLU, UMSL and Washington University. Though they are a research-generated community, Cortex leases office spaces available to different ranges of businesses.

Cortex is the ideal community for a start-up or high-revenue company because of its highly trained workforce and neighboring world-renowned research institutions.

The largest companies working in Cortex are currently the Center for Emerging Technologies (CET), BioGenerator and Venture CafĂŠ. CET and BioGenerator work to help advance and sustain companies in their progression. CET focuses on next generational medical technology, while BioGenerator works with a researcher or entrepreneur to find promising technologies to help their company along. Venture CafĂŠ is a non-profit sister organization to Cortex and meet every Thursday for innovators. Lastly, Cortex houses IDEA Labs and MEDLaunch,

which are student-led organizations that help provide innovative solutions to clinical issues.

Excitingly in early 2019, a new building will be opening to the public called, the City Foundry. Originally, named the Century Electric Foundry Complex, Cortex extended their reach to the building that has been empty for nearly a decade. The building is once again being put to the test where the first Food Hall in St. Louis will reside along with retail shops and workspaces of the future. Plans are being made as well for better access to Cortex through the Metro Station and to pull in 15,000 permanent related tech jobs. The Cortex Innovation Community has grown significantly and St. Louis right along with it, becoming the roots the city needs for a growing ecosystem.

NEW TO THE LOU?

Known as the Gateway to the West, St. Louis is a big city with small-town charm. Whether you settle in the city or the county, your Midwest neighbors will welcome you with open arms. But, if you’re new to the Lou, we have a few quirks that must be explained to newcomers. Fit right in with these fun facts on our local lingo and traditions.

Concrete: An ice cream treat served up at Ted Drewes, a St. Louis institution since 1930. Created in 1959, a concrete is a malt or shake so thick that it is served upside down.

Edgewild Restaurant & Winery.

Gooey Butter Cake:Originated in STL in the 1930s by mistake. A German baker mixed up batter proportions when trying to make coffee cake. The traditional recipe includes cake flour, butter, sugar, eggs and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Halloween jokes: Local Halloween tradition calls for trick-or-treaters to tell a joke in order to earn candy. Time to brush up on your knock, knock jokes.

Imo’s: The square beyond compare.

MOVING WITH PETS

To make the transition between residences easy for you and your pets, check out these helpful tips from tripswithpets.com.

BEFORE THE MOVE: Become familiar with leash laws, pet ordinances and pet licensing requirements with the state or county you are moving to.

• If you are renting, carefully review the lease to ensure that pets are allowed before you move in.

• Secure a new vet and have records transferred in advance of your move. Talk to your current veterinarian for referrals or research vets in your new area online.

• Get your pet a new identification tag that includes your pet’s name, your name, new address and phone number.

• Have a plan for how you are going to properly restrain your pet in your vehicle.

• If your move requires an overnight stay to reach your destination, plan ahead for overnight accommodations that are pet friendly.

•

MOVING DAY: Keep your pet secure. Place your pet in a designated safe place where he/she won’t accidentally escape as people are coming in and out of the house.

• Check on your pet frequently and try to maintain a regular feeding, walking and bathroom schedule.

•

YOUR NEW HOME: Prepare your new home. Have all of your pet’s necessities and essentials ready for them on day one so they feel comfortable in their new settings.

• Keep them leashed when not in the house or yard until they are familiarized with the new surroundings.

• Secure pets during move-in. Just as you did on the day you moved out, keep your pet in a safe and quiet place to ensure they don’t accidentally escape.

• Have a recent photo of your pet in the unfortunate event that they do run off during the move.

Top-Notch Hospitals of St. Louis

By Katie Piloski

Whether you have a serious illness, injury, sick child or mental inabilities, you are going to want the best hospital to get you or your child back on their feet. St. Louis has some of the most highly ranked hospitals, not only in Missouri but nationally because they are teaching hospitals. Teaching Hospitals are some of the best hospitals because of the education they offer to training and current health professionals.

The #1 ranked hospital in St. Louis and Missouri is Barnes-Jewish Hospital, located off Kingshighway Blvd. on the east side of Forest Park.

They currently rank #12 on the National Hospital Honor Roll. Known as "Barnes" by locals, is ranked highly in all 12 adult specialties and nine procedures and conditions. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to go to Barnes if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a severe accident, cut horribly, or even equally as faring: Urological, Cancer or severe Orthopedic problems.

The second ranked hospital in St. Louis and third in Missouri is Missouri Baptist Medical Center (MO Bap), and is ranked in high performance in nine procedures and conditions. If you have a heart attack, MO Bap is the best place to be for their top-notch Aortic Valve Surgery, Heart Bypass Surgery and their excellent Heart Failure recovery.

Mercy Hospital is also a great hospital to attend for heart attacks, but

their specialty is their Maternity Ward. Mercy ranks third in St. Louis and fifth in Missouri for their high performance in heart failure. They have the best birthing center in Missouri — offering tours, classes covering from new parent to infant care and mom support groups. If you are planning on having your baby in a hospital, Mercy is the way to go.

The #1 ranked children’s hospital in St. Louis is St. Louis Children’s Hospital — Washington University. Children’s is the best for pediatric surgery’s, cancers and orthopedics of any kind, with 10 national ranking specialties. The second ranked children’s hospital is SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital — SLU. Cardinal Glennon has the best pediatric cardiology and heart surgery procedures in the state.

Their staff is practiced in the art of the heart helping in any nervousness from the children or parents. Both Children’s hospitals offer great hospitality, friendly atmosphere and greatly educated professionals.
