The topic I want to deep dive into is the culture and history of the loop. If you don’t know what this place is, it is more middle and a bit north in St. Louis. This strip of the city is very unique in culture, music, art, and food. The atmosphere is inviting and a great place to hangout with family and friends. There is art on the sides of buildings or as sculptures along the street. The food there is diverse, with Fitz, a soda and food restaurant, and just nearby is a Japanese cuisine restaurant. There are different music halls that also align with the loop. Whether it is a comedy show, to smooth jazz, or even heavy metal. There is no one left out for their preferred music genre. If you want to bring some music home, there is a record store called Vintage Vinyl where they sell a plethora of different albums and artists that you can take home and listen to on a playing device. I enjoy many of these aspects in my normal daily life, so this is why I chose the subject of the Loop and its many interesting aspects of this, but what is its history, and how did it come to be developed? Here’s how I’m going to figure out this problem: through a timeline. I’m going to go through the history of The Loop and talk about key points of history it was involved in, and how it came to be. Here is my primary source for my project: https://www.scribbr.com/citation/generator/folders/3lmAk5lf42qkEymTjnzBxy/lists/7yaREtpLTLEgLMlRSJyVUt/sources/36FT9xU7o5i7ITYcOazysQ/
This is the main website for the loop, and it touches bases for the history of the loop and what it includes there.

This is a secondary source for my project. It is a blog post from an outside point of view explaining the culture and history of The Loop. This is what I will use to help explain the history and culture of The Loop in St. Louis.
