A Street with Character
A vibrant kaleidoscope of culture and creativity in south St. Louis, Cherokee Street brings together galleries, artists’ studios, restaurants, and bars in a stunning historic district. With so much to offer, neighbors and businesses hoped to capture and share that energy and imagination with the world.
Edgy, Awkward, Foreign, Beautiful
On Cherokee Street, weird is wonderful and there is harmony in dissonance: eye-catching street art, giant papier-mâché puppets, double-decker bikes, freaky clowns, drag queens, buskers, marching bands, and luchadores all feel at home.
The personality of the neighborhood is rooted in the many characters who live, work, and make there. Energetic and unconventional, these locals are the inspiration behind Cherokee Street’s new brand identity.
“See the city’s evolution in action on Cherokee Street. Once known for their concentration of antiques shops, the street’s brick town houses are now also home to funky cafes and stores.”
