The Hill Visitor’s Guide 026
12 2026 | The Hill Visitor’s Guide & Business Directory Walk of Fame By AbbyWojcik TheWalk of Fame was established in 2002 to recognize residents whose achievements left a lasting mark on The Hill’s history. Granite plaques noting each honoree’s induction date can be found in front of their former homes. From educators to athletes, writers and musicians, theWalk of Fame highlights a range of innovators whose talent and hard work grew from this neighborhood. Fourteen plaques are scattered across the streets of Elizabeth, Daggett, Marconi, Edwards, Columbia, and Macklind. One street in particular has the highest concentration of plaques, with three honorees having resided there. Because of this, the 5400 block of Elizabeth Avenue is known as ‘Hall of Fame Place,’ with an additional street sign marking its significance. Inductees from this single block include Baseball Hall of Famer Lawrence “Yogi” Berra, St. Louis Cardinals player and broadcaster Joe Garagiola, and legendary Cardinals announcer Jack Buck. continued on page 14
