City Talk

Continuing my exploration of the term gentrification, I sat down with our neighborhood Community Development Corporation who has worked in the neighborhood for decades.

Learned a little more about our soda bottling history, this one took me to Tower Grove South.

Thoughts on a recent traffic study on Hampton Avenue. Will study lead to action?

I sat down with a guy with over 40 years of experience living in Fox Park. He’s seen a lot over the years and was willing to share some stories of the arc of change.

Been thinking lately about influences and first generation STL “bloggers”. Had a chance to sit down with Steve Patterson to get his thoughts on 16 years of writing at UrbanReviewSTL.

The latest dream is related to Mississippi River cruises and docent led stops off the beaten path when reaching St. Louis.

Some thoughts on pandemic life, working from home.

Some thoughts on the Pretenders 1982 B-side single “My City Was Gone” and how it ties into my thoughts on current day St. Louis and memories in general.
