The festival Saturday featured soul music and local food on Gore Avenue in Old Webster.
Euclid Records and the Old Webster Trade Association took Webster Groves to a music festival this weekend, grooving along Gore Avenue between Lockwood and the railroad tracks for Webster Grooves, a retro soul festival. Join Webster Groves Patch for more community news or join us on Facebook and Twitter. Euclid Owner Joe Schwab took the idea and crafted it into more than an unofficial grand opening for the record store's new home on Gore. After moving across town from Lockwood Avenue and filling space at 19 North Gore earlier this month, Euclid included La Cantina, CJ Mugg's and other local businesses in the festival May 18. Schwab told Patch everything was going smoothly, and that the bands would only get better as the festival went on. …

A new Medicare database shows how hospitals serving the region—and the rest of the nation—compare for care. The findings for our local hospitals serving Webster Groves residents might surprise you.
Have a medical emergency? Plan to wait awhile—or not, depending on which hospital you pick.

In our chart above, you can compare the two nearest hospitals for Webster Groves Patch residents in key measures such as wait time to be seen in the emergency, wait …

Euclid's previous space in the Desoto building in Old Orchard seems to be a coveted location. What business do you think should move there?
Euclid Records has been at its new home in Old Webster since May 1, and is revving up for a grand opening of sorts with the Webster Grooves Retro Soul Festival this Saturday. But its previous space at 601 East Lockwood Avenue in the Desoto building is now empty and up for lease. Join Kirkwood Patch for more community news or join us on Facebook and Twitter. Book House Owner Michelle Barron hinted in a previous article by Patch that she was in line for the location at Lockwood and near Big Bend.
