The transformational $400-million CityArchRiver project is still in full swing in downtown St. Louis. It is the largest riverfront project currently underway in the Midwest - if not the U.S.. Work currently is being done on Kiener Plaza, the new Museum of Westward Expansion and other integral parts ...

Unfortunately, most of the newer office buildings - younger than 30 years - have been government buildings. Many of the new office buildings - even build-to-suit offices - have risen in the CWE, Clayton and the rest of St. Louis suburbia. With conversions of old office buildings and warehouses downt...

I heard Clayton described as a second downtown for StL a decade ago. Clayton has been described by a lot of names: 1. "The New Downtown" 2. St. Louis' "Second Downtown" 3. St. Louis' "Uptown" 4. St. Louis County's "Downtown" Unfortunately, while downtown Clay...

New website Cranetrackerstl.com launched earlier this week with over 60 projects. New website tracking many large projects and proposals in metro St. Louis. Lots of cool animations, media and information. Website by no means represents all construction activity, proposals or recent completions in me...

Our baseball team is better :) Louman - if you can avoid engaging Harbinger911 during one of his psychotic breaks, you'll be a better person for it. Museum looks cool, btw. Will have to check it out next time we're there. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I think we swung and missed a bit with ou...

Here we go................again. :shock: See here you go again. I only know of the STL musicians that moved here, how would I know the ones that moved to Chicago, NYC, etc? You're inference is that Chicago, NYC etc have better scenes, that's not the issue at all. The STL musicians that moved HERE di...

You don't even want to talk about jazz as I personally know 12 STL jazz musicians that have MOVED TO KC over the last 2 years TO GET WORKING GIGS because the STL jazz scene isn't supporting them. Of course you do. :lol: :D They actually left St. Louis to go to Kansas City and not Chicago, New Orlea...

Sigh.......... First how rude. In this silly exchange, I’ve never stooped to calling you names. It's not that serious. Well........ maybe to you. :D Anyway, you can’t possibly believe that a few websites which demonstrate more registered members, venues and bands on webpages somehow makes KC a blues...

St. Louis has multiple Blues festivals per year, but it has THREE major Blues Festivals. This year the region will have: 21st Big Muddy Blues Festival 15th Webster Jazz & Blues Festival 11th Annual St. Louis Blues Festival ** Fest300 Magazine: THE 12 POSITIVELY BEST BLUES FESTIVALS IN NORTH AMER...

Just for the record.........I have been laughing MAO ever since I've read your metric sources. None of them are scientific - at all. So let's just play around for a minute. 1. Apparently, KC Blues Society does a better job of keeping their website up-to-date. Congratulations! 2. Before the St. Louis...

Interesting. By whose metrics?

Yesterday (04/02/16), the first major museum in the Midwest and United States dedicated to Blues music opened in an historic building in downtown St Louis on Washington Avenue. The National Blues Museum opened its doors in a 23,000 square foot facility that includes state-of-the-art exhibits chronic...

st. louis has a pretty dismal record of TOD around their stations. St. Louis' (Missouri -side) MetroLink system, as you may know, was built along abandoned railroad tracks that fortunately traversed many of St. Louis busiest nodes of business. The inaugural line traversed some of the main business,...

KC's new art wing is way better than StL's. It felt like a lazy expansion for an art museum. But can't complain about free entry. The building was not designed to be flashy purposefully. It's minimalist. It has been described as ‘quiet and reserved’ by an arts publication. SLAM's new East Wing, des...
