This weekend is an awesome weekend to be in St. Louis! There are some great things to do and not enough time to do everything 😦 (unless you’re the Funky Butt Brass Band) My first pick is Taste of St. Louis downtown. It started today and runs through Sunday. Beyond the typical Foodie event, there’sContinue reading “Plenty of Great Things This Weekend!”

Tonight after work, my wife, my three boys and I walked a couple blocks from home to the newest Sushi restaurant in town, Cafe Mochi, to order some “to go” for dinner.  While we waited, we walked up another block to the Gelateria del Leone for some awesome gelato (As a waiter I was toldContinue reading “Why City?”

One thing I’ve truly enjoyed seeing since we’ve moved to Tower Grove South is the resurgence of commerce on Morganford in our neighborhood.  Until today, it was our little secret.  As the less popular destination, I’ve always tried to support the restaurants since South Grand seems to get so much traffic already.  I rarely give credit to theContinue reading “Where’s the Morgan Ford neighborhood?”

Despite the trend, I wondered how that trend could be self-sustaining. When wouldContinue reading “The Urban Shift: One More Source”

One of the worst memories I have from my move into the city was from a conversation with a colleague.   A fellow realtor, we were in the middle of a deal and had a good rapport with one another.  Occasionally we would converse about personal information like family.  I mentioned that we were moving intoContinue reading “It Takes A Village”

Last month we were able to list the Ballpark Lofts! A Blue Urban project, these lofts were long thought to be sold out within 1 day. An NFL style draft was a great concept, but did, combined with the recession, didn’t work out past the theory. As downtown specialists, never heard until recently that thereContinue reading “Come on Down To the Ballpark!”
