Editing Pagedale, Missouri (section)

==History==
The area originally was farmland, but it did have an interesting history with several pockets of significant [[Greek American|Greek]] and [[African-American]] residents.  Because St. Vincent's mental hospital was located just north of St. Charles Rock Road, a [[tram|streetcar]] line was constructed in the late 1800s from just south of Olive Street Road in [[University City, Missouri|University City]] north on the east side of Ferguson Avenue through what is now Pagedale to meet the electric interurban line to [[Saint Charles, Missouri|Saint Charles]] at the Rock Road.  The south end of the line eventually joined with the Creve Coeur Lake streetcar line which ran on Vernon Avenue (but later was relocated a block further south to run behind a new subdivision).  That transportation opened up the area to housing.{{Citation needed|date=November 2013}}

South of Pagedale, at Page and Ferguson, was Hazel Hill, which eventually became the reason for the Lincoln School which became part of the Normandy School District.  Though long forgotten as a name, the Hazel Hill community still exists and the Lincoln building is still standing.  When Pagedale was incorporated, the northern end went beyond the Rock Road up Hoke Avenue, which later was renamed Ferguson though it didn't line up with Ferguson. In 1954 a new housing subdivision was built at Ferguson and North Market Street.  That subdivision, named Engelholm Gardens, a long forgotten name also, still stands, looking exactly as it did in 1954.<ref>Wayne Brasler, Normandy area historian, whose family was one of those who bought the new houses at Engleholm Gardens</ref>{{Citation needed|date=November 2013}}

In 2001, a new $1 million Pagedale City Hall and Police Facility was built. It included an 8,000-square-foot space to house a local court facility.<ref>[http://www.kwamebuildinggroup.com/project-details/city-of-pagedale-municipal-center.php?parent_id=25 Pagedale Municipal Center; Kwame Building Group; 2001.]</ref>

In November 2015, some residents filed a civil rights class action lawsuit against the city of Pagedale for overly aggressive ticketing of residential code enforcement as a "revenue generating machine".<ref>[http://ij.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/ECF-1-Complaint-FILE-STAMPED-11.04.15.pdf Lawsuit; United States District Court; November 4, 2015.]</ref><ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/05/us/lawsuit-accuses-missouri-city-of-fining-homeowners-to-raise-revenue.html Lawsuit Accuses Missouri City of Fining Homeowners to Raise Revenue; New York Times; November 4, 2015.]</ref><ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/citys-nitpicky-fines-for-tree-stumps-blinds-trigger-civil-rights-lawsuit City’s ‘nitpicky’ fines for tree stumps, blinds trigger civil rights lawsuit; Fox News; December 28, 2015]</ref><ref>[http://watchdog.org/252413/nanny-state-pagedale-missouri-fines/ Nanny State of the Week: City fines residents for chipped paint, mismatched curtains; Missouri Watchdog; December 21, 2015]</ref>
