In the midst of all the activities and sites to see on this coming Saturday for the Open House in our neighborhood, I just wanted to remind everyone to visit the wonderful gardens we have in the area.  Chances are you’ll find some busy gardeners working in the sunshine.

We have a healthy collection of gardens all in walking distance of each other, if I’ve left out any gardens, I apologize.

Take a look:

Well, the Binge and Purge Grand Opening last weekend went swimmingly! Ridiculous: items bought, bouffants coifed, bustiers flaunted, bands played, booze drank, party danced, concussions had. All the bands were great, and we were lucky enough to have 3 of STL’s latest up and coming new bands play: Joe and Mabel’s short but sweet 2 piece no wave, the hypnotic motor-musik sounds of Bikini Acid, and the undeniable Pink Sock who gave an incredible set full of pure dada punk. You haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen a trio  Read more...

Cherokee ComeUnity Hub: How about here?

Posted by Lyndsey Scott on March 10, 2009 | 19 Comments

Conceptual rendering by local architect Cipriano Medina invokes a simple, lush green space with a spacious pavilion and  active pedestrian traffic

Architect Jessica Deem imagines an inviting place for conversation, lunchtime music, and inviting public art.

Two talented architects step up to the question of “where” by envisioning the Cherokee ComeUnity Hub at the southeast corner of Texas Ave and Cherokee St, on the vacant LRA lot across from the Globe Drug that has been dormant since the Empire Sandwich shop was demolished in spring 2006.

Cherokee ComeUnity Hub: Where?
