Description
Das Bevo -- The Bevo Mill area is directly to the west of the neighborhood of Dutchtown that was a center of mass German settlement in St. Louis in the mid-1800s. The area's population was waning in the 1990s, and in Europe there was a war in the early 90s that drove people from their homes. Many people left a dangerous situation in Bosnia and Croatia behind and today much of the Bevo Mill neighborhood is populated with immigrants, particularly Bosnian Americans and Croatian Americans. St. Louis is now home to the largest Bosnian population per capita outside Europe. An estimated 70,000 Bosnians live in the St. Louis metro area The growth of the immigrant population in Saint Louis has helped stem the decline in the city's population. Many Bosnians have revitalized the city of St. Louis through buying homes in South St. Louis and opening up new businesses which has helped to stimulate the economy. Some of the businesses in Bevo Mill are, bakeries, cafés, taverns, nightclubs, restaurants, and neighborhood grocery stores and butcher shops. They have also helped transform the neighbourhood from a crime-ridden area into a decent quarter.
