“America’s Last Little Italy” explores the deep historic roots of the Hill, St. Louis’ iconic Italian neighborhood. Italians who immigrated to St. Louis in search of the American Dream built a “Little Italy” in the city’s heart that still flourishes to this day. Similar neighborhoods in other urban areas have long ago lost their specifically Italian character, making the Hill the last of a dying breed.

A Little Magical Music
https://www.chambermusicstl.org/a-gift-for-you-a-little-magical-music-video/
In an effort to help our community during the pandemic, The Chamber Music Society of St. Louis is making their “A Little Magical Music “ video concert available to retirement facilities. It is their hope that this short virtual concert will bring some pleasure to a group that has most likely been in lock-down or shut in for many months. Understanding that these facilities generally use a DVD to provide entertainment that can be directed to individual apartments or to a small group in a meeting room, they have ordered DVDs to send to various facilities. If you have a loved one in such a facility, please send an email to info@chambermusicstl.org with the name and address of the facility and they will do their best to see that it is included in this program.

As part of the US 3rd Armored Division, Louch fought through all five Major Campaigns of the European Theater of Operations, survived the Battle of Normandy, the Battle of Falaise, the Battle of Mons, The Hurtgen Forest, The Battle of the Bulge, fought Hitler's SS Own Division, and helped liberate Dora-Mittelbau concentration camp and V2 missile factory.
