It will be a month later but the recent uprising at the St Louis City Justice Center (also known as the St Louis City Jail) https://www.google.com/maps/@38.626103,-90.1989457,3a,75y,115.65h,95.3t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sO2VMgTUkyMN5xWaa3x_aEw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
is just a couple blocks from the Enterprise Center. You may remember walking by the Thomas Eagleton US Court House which is next door to the Justice Center if you have attended Arch Madness before. The Justice Center is directly across the street from (Tucker Blvd./12th) from the old German style City Hall, modeled after the Rathaus (city hall) of Münster, Germany.

I did forget to mention that SLU Law School is just north on Tucker Blvd. from the St Louis Justice Center. That law school barely survived the wave that took down Valpo law and many other law schools.

So here you have a view of Tucker Blvd. looking north that shows the St Louis Justice Center on the right, St Louis City Hall on the left & way down on the right is Saint Louis University Law School. (with the SLU fleur de lis symbol on the building facing south). The 22nd Judicial Court building is just north of the Justice Center on the right.
