Up There
To even post such a thing is borderline mean. But it’s also informative. Let’s start here… Everyone needs to make a friend who lives or has a workshop/studio/business in the City Museum building. Because the weekend action on the City Museum’s evolving rooftop is fun enough. But it can also be a bit intense, as [...]
Wonderful Little Promo Video for the Upcoming Tolentino/Spencer Art Show
In the process of asking (begging) for a playlist of inspiring videos from Justin Tolentino he turned me on to this promo piece for his upcoming art show with Jason Spencer entitled “Like a Beer in Deadlights”. The video was shot at the famous grafiti flood wall near the river by one Tony Lombardozzi whom [...]
Video Profile of Cherokee Street
This came in over the transome today from Bill Sawalich a really nice video piece about the creative business climate on Cherokee Street. It certainly is no secret that it’s one of our favorite streets in town. Bill writes: I’m a professional photographer in St. Louis and I recently worked with Jeremy Nulik, editor of [...]
Cafe Ventana Has a Garden
If you’ve visited midtown’s Cafe Ventana recently, you may’ve noticed the garden growing in the enclosed front yard of the expansive apartment building to the west. One would assume, rightly, that the plot is serving the needs of the kitchen at Ventana. We checked in with Chef Christopher Lee to get a sense of what [...]
It’s All Happening at Apop
It took a fair bit of time, but it’s finally dawned on me that Apop Records is filling a small piece of the hole in my heart, left so long ago by the closure of South Grand’s late, great video rental shop, Whiz Bam! That store shuttered during the great changeover from VHS to DVD, [...]
Watching The Ponies as Creative Exercise
A week ago, I went to Fairmount Park to catch the first moments of racing for the 2010 season, a Tuesday afternoon affair. Since I had to teach school, I was getting across the bridge late and realized that only with luck would I be able to get in, buy a program, pick a horse’s [...]
Various Places and Faces
Reading yields results: 1. One of the coolest places in The Loop, Star Clipper, is holding a Free Comic Book Day this weekend, with equally free live music. We would love to eventually feature Star Clipper here, especially if we can convince Jon Scorfina to do the dirty work (of writing it) for us. In [...]
Crystal City Farmers’ Market Meets With Vendors
By Deborah Sleeper (Reprinted from JeffCoScribe.com.) Recently, Ben DeClue, Market Master for the soon-to-launch Crystal City Farmers’ Market, met with a small group of vendors at Grace Presbyterian Church. He led a tour of the grounds, answered questions, and sought feedback. Last year when DeClue visited his girlfriend’s Chicago home, a thriving local farmer’s market [...]
Brett Underwood Dissects the Real CBGB
By Brett Underwood If the revolution IS televised, you won’t be watching it at CBGB. You might watch it from a picnic table out front with a longneck in your paw. You might watch it through the sizable plate-glass windows that front the place. But, as a true revolutionary might say, “you can’t suckle at [...]
From 1227 to Rue 13
By Tim Jamison I have not been anywhere near Washington Ave in months. In fact, it may have been more than a year. But, recently, there was a punk rock show at Rue 13, I guess really the only “night club” left on the block. I parked my car directly in front of 1227 Washington. [...]
