Show Notes
314 Day is this Saturday, and that means St. Louisans near and far are gearing up to show up and out for their city. The local holiday began as an informal celebration by residents — particularly in the black community. Within that community, people often gather for block parties, neighborhood barbecues and club events when the last numbers of their zip code or street number correspond with a date on the calendar. A day named for St. Louis’ main area code was a natural way to take the party city-wide. St. Louis natives Ryan Escobar, Tenelle Winmore and Sierra Brown are hosting their biggest 314 Day celebration yet. Called “STL Exchange,” the party will take place at the Contemporary Art Museum. Escobar and Winmore join host Sarah Fenske to share what makes them St. Louis-proud, preview the event and discuss how they hope to create a more united city.
