Ladue News Profiles Olivette; Local Family Notes 'Hidden Gems'

Our small community gets the spotlight in the Ladue News, which focuses on couple JoAnne Levy and Jim Thomeczek and their family.

The Olivette community got the profile treatment from the Ladue News this month with a feature on JoAnne Levy, her husband Jim Thomeczek and their family.

The couple told the society magazine that Olivette was the place they wanted to buy a home and start raising their family in 1990. They bought a house in Chevy Chase, in part to stay close to Old Bonhomme Elementary School, which they call "somewhat of a best-kept secret" in town.
