Blogger and my FTP site have decided not to talk to each other anymore. I've been trying to figure it out for the past 2 weeks to no avail, so I'm just going to use Blogger's resources and free up some space on my FTP site.
PLEASE NOTE, THE NEW ADDRESS FOR BRICK CITY IS:
http://brickcitystl.blogspot.com/
The intersection of Grand and N. 20th street intrigues me. Looking past the fact that one of the city's remaining 3 water towers stands right in the middle of the intersection, take a look at the gentle curve of the street. I bet before everything was demolished, the buildings that once stood there hugged and respected that slight curve. What a detail that would've been to see! Red brick buildings forming a slightly curved street wall. I'm sure turrets and corner store fronts would have been the norm as well.
It feels like we've lost so much...and that we're still losing. It feels like every blog I visit has a new post about another building being demolished. This isn't progress.

With spring springing and seasons changing, it felt right to go ahead and update the look of my blog. I know there are some minor formatting issues to take care of, and the archives have lost all their styling, but I ran out of time tonight so not everything got done for a bug free launch. I'll slowly clean up what needs cleaning over the next few weeks.
This afternoon I was driving down 170 and noticed a billboard for an IFC Caged Combat event at the "Family" Arena in St. Charles. Not only can you see a good ole fashioned rodeo in the great city of St. Charles, but you can now watch two grown men try and beat the shit out of each other.
I find it strange that an inane & violent event like "caged combat" is being held at a venue that is moronically named the Family Arena. God, I love family values.

A continuation of yesterday's post, KMOV has a story on their website titled "Tickets, revenue plunging at red light cameras". So, with revenues dropping (there are those who seem to be up in arms that the City is making money off of these lights) and people actually paying attention to traffic signals, what's the problem?
