Sure – I’m predominately a 20th Century Modern fan… but…

I dunno..

I’ve been out taking these document shots for work this week – and I guess thanks to that tripped breaker on Monday that got me to slow down – I’m just noticing more now…

St. Louis’ residential architectural heritage is as stageringly diverse as it is shamefully neglected… well… not for long… My primary employers aren’t the only developers buying stuff up like crazy and rehabbing. There’s a finite number of buildings left to rehab and repurpose – which kinda makes me wonder what happens when everything’s been rehabbed… then what?.

This one wasn’t on my list so I don’t know who owns it – but I had to take a picture of it anyway… Beat to hell, but still beautiful. (*it has “Evil Urban Lair” written allllllllllllllllll over it for one aspiring super-villain I happen to know).

oh… um… my schtick-machine is broken… I’ll figure out a way to scratch my OCD via LiveJournal again later. (e.g. “I’m not blogging”, phone message, Bloghold, Chickens, cheese… etc) – i loose track…

bloghold, subcategory = dayjob, nanocatogery = grove

serial hook = there is no hook

commentary = Ducked outa darts last night at JJ’s to pick up some shots for work: 4200 Manchester in the grove… It was a burned up shell, now it sports three nicely appointed apartments and is also the new home of a bar called AMP (Alternative Music Pub)…

Mixed crowd on all counts: race, gender, orientation

The only uniform thing about the place was the artwork and the relentlessly nostalgic, “class-of-89” video playlist. Were the guys not waiting for me back at JJ’s, I would have hung out for a while.
