Where St. Louis night owls flock?

They just don’t make warehouses like they used to.

Where is this building that delivers historical beauty?

Inspired by mid-18th Century Parisian architecture, this historical gem of a building experienced an early 21st century re-birth. Also marked by a post-great Chicago fire of 1871 paranoia, the structure is framed entirely in cast iron down to the doorjambs and window frames. Its decorative details and forward thinking use of light alone merit a visit. More»

They tell us not to mess with Mother Nature, but part of this river was hidden by wooden channels for the 1904 Worlds Fair & later buried.  Water is now artificially flowing through Forest Park in its stead.  It’s a small city river, our French forefathers granted its name, and we rely on it during stormy weather.   More»
