The Frankie Muse Freeman sculpture stands as a powerful tribute to a pioneering civil rights…read moreattorney whose work shaped both local and national justice. Installed in 2017 in the northeast corner of Kiener Plaza, the six-foot bronze figure captures Freeman in motion, clutching a newspaper bearing the 1955 headline that declared segregation in public housing unconstitutional - a direct reference to her landmark legal victory. Commissioned by the NAACP and sculpted by Brian Owens, the piece portrays Freeman as if she is stepping away from the courthouse, her posture purposeful and resolute. One of the most striking features is the bronze newspaper that she carries, symbolizing the far-reaching influence of her advocacy. Beyond its artistic merit, the statue honors Freeman's decades of public service, including her groundbreaking role as the first woman appointed to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. Positioned near the Gateway Arch and the Old Courthouse, the sculpture anchors her legacy in the civic heart of Saint Louis. It invites reflection on the quiet strength of legal activism and the enduring impact of one woman's determination to bend the arc of justice. [Review 1170 of 2025 - 436 in Missouri - 24723 overall]

I've had a pretty positive experience overall with the City of Creve Coeur. The area is always…read moreclean and well-kept, and you can tell they really care about maintaining the community. There's also a great variety of shopping and restaurants nearby, along with plenty of housing and apartment options, which makes it a convenient place to live or visit.

Or it could be a ballet pose because the artist said it was a "playful and unique interpretation of Vaslav Nijinski, the world famous Russian ballet dancer." The sculpture is by artist Barry Flanagan and was initially placed in 1996 in front of the Saint Louis Blues hockey arena. I'm not sure when it was moved here. If I had brought my tripod (or a friend), I might have tried to duplicate the pose for a selfie. Perhaps you can try and add that here. [Review 17284 overall - 182 in Missouri - 802 of 2022.]
