The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

The St. Louis area's No. 2 business district exists because of efforts in the 1950s to clear out Black residents of Clayton. This is the 2nd historical marker in town alluding to effects of "urban renewal." Also, Clayton has a marker about clearing Filipino residents out for the 1904 World's Fair.
