I recently saw Jami Schoenewies' painting Expansion in Art Saint Louis XXIV. Chuck was particularly intrigued by this painting, having flown over the remains of the Carrollton subdivision somewhat recently when he flew into Lambert for business. We had been discussing visiting the site and creating some video.
Since then, I came across Schoenewies' blog, 56 Houses Left, which is an amazing documentary of eminent domain abuse and of the Carrollton subdivision, purchased by Lambert Airport for expansion and then essentially abandoned for years. Please read this blog, if for no other reason than to bear witness to what has happened and to become more aware.
