a Better Bubble™
Undeterred I’ve not made a beef stew for awhile, but I remember that cutting all the meat and vegetables was labor intensive. I’m convinced I could bake and ice a three-layer wedding cake in the time it takes to get everything in my Crockpot. Even so I was on a mission to make beef stew....

The Tower Grove Neighborhoods CDC mission is to promote responsible development, affordable housing and diverse character and vibrancy in the neighborhoods surrounding Tower Grove Park. We serve as a resources and vowed to keep our tenants safe and in secure housing throughout the pandemic. When tenants fell on hard times, we offered programs and resources to help. Our goal was to ensure that all of our tenants would be able to meet their basic human needs: food and shelter.
Over the past 18 months we have:
secured $127,600 for rental assistance in total. We worked with Prosperity Connection & Red Dough to provide $32,100. When state funds were released, we secured $95,500 in rental assistance through ERAP (Emergency Rental Arrears Program) and SAFHR (State Assistance for Housing Relief). As the pandemic continues, we will continue to support our tenants in need of rental assistance.
provided $875 of grocery gift certificates to those who needed support.. The majority of our 90 tenants are low to middle income and many are or were employed in industries hit hard by the pandemic.
connected with our tenants and encourage tenants to shelter in place and build community within the buildings. We kept our tenants informed by sending emails about city guidelines and how to stay safe. We supported tenants with creative ways to relieve stress like backyard gardens, fire pits and community spaces helped tenants socialize safely.
compiled an extensive list of resources for tenants and procedures for property management and maintenance during Covid-19. This list includes free mediation services, as we encourage all landlords to use these resources before filing an eviction during this time.
We want to express our gratitude to TGNCDC’s Asset Manager, Kristan Nickels, who lead all of the efforts to date and continues to help our tenants and other members of the community navigate new programs. Because of her dedication, we can continue to provide safe, stable housing to our tenants now and in the future!

A Bit of Iran on Grand The great reviews of Taste of Persia sent me and my friend, Anne, off in search of the S. Grand eatery. We found it easily in what I call the Persian Triangle, because there are three of the ethnic restaurants within a block: Natasha’s, Sheesh, and Taste of Persia....
