While sitting at a stop light along Memorial Drive this morning, I looked to my left and my eyes settled on the St. Louis skyline. As I looked at the tall buildings, the courthouse and the rest I thought, "What would it look like down here if St. Louis was a "newish" city...like a Phoenix? What would it look like if the current governmental thinking was in place when St. Louis was founded?"

I thought about it for just a second, but 2 words came to mind, "flat" & "boring".

What do you think?

I've always been enamored of our brick city. Back in the late 70's, I wrote a letter to The President (hey, I was eight give me a break) telling him how alarmed I was that some older buildings downtown were being demolished to make way for ugly new buildings. I'm so glad, that we've preserved the spirit of our brick city and not had a shiny new rebirth!
