St. Louis Place Community Association (SLPCA) brings neighbors together in order to present a collective voice of residents and businesses in efforts to promote economic development, cultural enrichment, neighborhood growth, stability and overall well-being.
SLPCA meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:30pm at the Griot Museum, 2505 St. Louis Avenue. We also sponsor summer concerts and holiday celebrations throughout the year.
St. Louis Place neighborhood is located just north of downtown St. Louis, Missouri. It is bounded by Palm Street on the north, Cass Avenue on the south, North Florissant Avenue on the East, and Jefferson Avenue on the West.
