Looming over the far east end of Manchester Avenue near the intersection of Chouteau and Vandeventer is a 24-foot by 11-foot neon sign. The sign also marks the eastern end of the streetscape improvements currently underway. Neon is quickly coming back to The Grove and is creating a new sense of place.
