Celebrate Good Times...
July is coming and besides the heat its time to get ready for Fair St. Louis and Live on the Levee! Although these events have been going on for years, this year might be a little different. I know I've really enjoyed the experience in the past, but for the Fourth is the best band we could get Hootie?
Highway to Hell
Are you ready for the coming traffic storm? The massive three-year, $535 million Missouri Department of Transportation project to rebuild a 12-mile stretch of I-64, locally known as Highway 40, from Spoede Road in St. Louis County to Sarah Street in the city of St. Louis, is scheduled to begin in early 2007. Recently a group led by Downtown St. Louis Partnership is recommending it is economically better to keep two lanes open rather than one lane on both the eastbound and westbound route. Ready or not the new I-64 is coming...
A Bridge Too Ugly
St. Louis does a lot of things right. Baseball, toasted ravioli, or pizza for instance. But anyone that has known me and been on a car trip from Missouri to Illinois will attest...I hate the Poplar Street Bridge (aka the Bernard F. Dickman Bridge).
Here is the main artery into the St. Louis downtown, combining several highways. Driving past the Arch and riverfront what do you see? A street. That is all it is. A run down street over the water. When this thing was built there was a chance to create a work of art, one that showed true achitecture yet allowed an optimal view of the Arch and downtown. Instead, we got the Poplar Street Bridge as it is today.
I always thought that the Jefferson Barracks Bridge should have been the one built downtown instead with its Arch like features.

Baseball Family Feud
Looks like things are heating up for the Cardinals, but I don't mean just on the field. Ozzie Smith and Tony La Russa continue their feud that started way back in 1996...
Planned nudist resort crosses first hurdle
