History

FROM STREETCAR TURNAROUND
TO LEGENDARY BOULEVARD.

It began in 1887 as a trolley loop where the streetcars turned around. A century later it came back to life as a mile of marquees, record shops, and brass stars.

Chuck Berry, Tina Turner, and Maya Angelou all have roots here. Their stories are still underfoot.

Plan Your Visit

Before you go

◉

Getting there

The Delmar Loop MetroLink station drops you right on the Loop. Metered street parking and several lots line Delmar and the side streets.

◐

Best time to go

Weekday afternoons for browsing shops without a crowd; Friday and Saturday nights for live music and the full marquee-lit effect.

▤

How long to stay

Two to three hours covers the Loop at an easy pace. Give it longer if you're catching a show at the Pageant or Blueberry Hill.

✦

Good to know

The Loop straddles the St. Louis and University City line. It stays one continuous walk even as you cross the border.
