Show Your Clayton Pride

ALIVE Magazine is looking for proud Claytonites to brag about why your neighborhood is the most livable and lovable in all of St. Louis.

The St. Louis area is full of great neighborhoods, each with its own personality and sense of community. At ALIVE Magazine, we are looking for proud Claytonites to brag about why your neighborhood is the most livable – and lovable – in all of St. Louis! Is it the walkability of downtown? Access to some of the area's top foodie and shopping destinations? In essence, we want to know why you choose to live in Clayton over anywhere else. If there are things St. Louisans may not know about your 'hood, or misconceptions you've always wanted to clear up, this is your chance to show your pride for where you reside!

If you feel like you would be a good ambassador for Clayton to the rest of St. Louis, just take a moment to send an email to Gwen Ragno at letters@alivemag.com, telling me what you love most about living in Clayton. I'll be accepting submissions through Saturday, Feb. 10.

For those of you hailing from Richmond Heights, we encourage you to join in our larger Love My Hood social media campaign by tweeting or instagramming your neighborhood pride using the hashtag #LoveMyHoodSTL. More details on the ALIVE blog. There is even a t-shirt contest!
