First visit to Chain of Rocks Park after a recent hard scape and landscape upgrade.

With Black people continuing to leave St. Louis, and whites having fewer children, maybe immigrants are the future.

Steve Patterson passed and his legacy and work will forever be cemented in my mind and heart. A wonderful person who I miss right now. Some shared memories here, but he won’t be forgotten.

The final stop in our St. Louis Microbrewery tour, Urban Chestnut’s gem in the Covenanat Blu/Grand Center Neighborhood is the perfect setting inside and out.

Urban Chestnut’s Grove Bierhall is a treasure, from pizza to beer to a fun time. This place has it all.

Next stop, Brick River Cider Co. in the Downtown West Neighborhood.

Next stop on the microbrew tour: Schlafly Taproom in the Downtown West Neighborhood.

Another STL brewery that builds on our past brewing history and brings something amazing. The Marine Villa Neighborhood is a gem, and this place contributes to the charm.

Next stop: Rockwell Beer Company in the Botanical Heights Neighborhood.

Another stop on our STL microbewery tour. This stop Perennial Artisan Ales in the Patch Neighborhood.

Another stop on our microbrewery tour, this time Wellspent in the Midtown Neighborhood.

Tony Nipert, a PNW native who moved to STL for a job as a teach at the SLPS was an advocate and intelligent voice of criticism from a place of love and respect. The former Skinker-DeBaliviere resident shares some insight on his time here.

What’s the deal with the former Liberty Bell Oil building on Vandeventer and some daydreaming of what it could be.

A follow up visit to the latest upgrade to Forest Park, and a conversation with the Forest Park Forever folks in the know.
