Emmenegger Nature Park (ENP) consists of 93 acres (0.38 km2) in southwestern St. Louis County, Missouri. It is located in the city of Kirkwood and bordered to the west by the Meramec River, to the south by Interstate 44 and the Possum Woods Conservation Area, and to the east by Interstate 270. The ENP is part of the Henry Shaw Ozark Corridor. The Powder Valley Nature Center is directly to the east of ENP across Interstate 270. The area had been used at various times as an exotic animal breeding area for the St. Louis Zoo, a resort, public swimming pool, and tennis club. The land was purchased by real estate developer Russell. E. Emmenegger in the 1970s before he donated it to the city of Kirkwood. The land is currently leased by the Missouri Department of Conservation.The land of Emmenegger Nature Park was originally owned by Edwin A. Lemp as part of his Cragwold estate. The ENP has a 1 mi (1.6 km) hiking trail and a .5 mi (0.80 km) disabled-accessible trail in addition to a pavilion, picnic table, and recreation fields.

Saint Louis Assembly

Saint Louis Assembly was a Chrysler automobile factory in Fenton, Missouri. The "South" plant opened in 1959, while the "North" portion opened in 1966. The Saint Louis Factory was built to accommodate Chrysler's new Chrysler B platform allowing the company to build subcompact vehicles. Saint Louis North was the home of minivan production from 1987 through 1995, when it was converted to build the Dodge Ram pickup truck. Minivan production was switched to the South plant (shut down from 1991–95) in 1995 and continued there through the 2007 model year. On 13 December 2005, DaimlerChrysler announced that it would spend US$1 billion upgrading the two Saint Louis plants to be more flexible and efficient. This process was expected to occur between 2006 and 2010. On 30 June 2008, Chrysler, LLC announced plans to shutter the South plant, consolidating all minivan manufacture in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.Production at the North plant was shut down, along with other Chrysler factories, when the company filed for bankruptcy on 30 April 2009. Although production briefly resumed the last week of June 2009, the plant was later closed for good in early July 2009. Both plants were razed in 2011. In 2013 the 300-acre site was floated as a possibility for the site for a new stadium for the St. Louis Rams if plans to renovate Edward Jones Dome did not materialize. The Rams ultimately chose to return to Southern California. The team formally filed its request to leave St. Louis for Los Angeles on 4 January 2016. On 12 January 2016, the NFL approved the Rams' request for relocation to Los Angeles for the 2016 NFL season.In October 2016, groundbreaking began for the $222 million Fenton Logistics Park by KP Development. It will include two million square feet of office, warehouse, and industrial space.
