Seen in St. Louis

We recently arrived in the city and have some plans to celebrate it right. There is so much going on downtown, and this blog is our way of sharing our thoughts and ideas about and involvement with St. Louis’s downtown renaissance.

Topics we are interested in and plan to write about include urban walkability as opposed to suburban unwalkability, new business and community developments downtown, upcoming community events, volunteers opportunities, social issues specific to downtown including homelessness, public education, free adult education, building demolition and construction, etc etc.

We even aim to photoblog some of the amazing and quirky sights we have seen during our morning and evening walks around the downtown area. When we are feeling adventurous, we might even chime in about developments in a couple of the nearby neighborhoods to downtown, including the Central West End, University City, and the Soulard Neighborhood. But for the most part, our ramblings focus on downtown St. Louis.

We drove straight through from Buffalo from about 8pm on Thursday, and arrived about 9am on Friday morning. (Our movers won’t arrive until tomorrow.) We took this shot at around 6am as we were starting the last stretch. Something about the picture fills us with optimism.

Though not unique to the midwestern United States, this humongous cross on teh side of the highway seemed like a harbinger of things to come.

We arrived around 9am, drove through Laclede’s Landing, and got to our new home, the Syndicate Building.

The Syndicate Building, still somewhat under construction, is our new building. More on this amazing place in future posts.
