So you think St. Louis is just what you see on the news

Yeeeeeah.

I love love love St Louis' building stock. It's like Milwaukee's grungy cool but fancier.

Is there any way I can get this photo in a larger size?

HomrQT- Since it's just an instagram, I believe this is the biggest file there is, right?

I agree. Everything I've seen on the news is "Ferguson". I had to Google Map it to even know where the hell it was. I didn't assume STL. Recently, I actually cancelled CNN, MSNBC, FOX because it's all overhyped BS 24/7 that has no effect on my daily life.

Always enjoy these STL photo tours. Thanks!

Amazing set. Like Expat said, I needed it.

May I ask where the following two photos were taken? They both look like recent-ish fires.

IWantToBeInSTL--

The first pic is on Blair St. in Hyde Park-- it's sandwiched between two nearly-identical buildings that are not burned out. I would've loved to get all three in the shot, but I couldn't get back far enough.

The second pic is at 2423 N. Spring in JeffVanderLou. Apparently the building was built as a streetcar substation for United Railways Co. Such a beautiful building with a great history-- I really hope it can be restored and put back into use. However, the surrounding neighborhood has seen better days, so I am not too optimistic.

Yeah that paint color with the trim, the curved windows, the dormers, cornice and the light snow... pretty

St. Louis threads never get old!! Still holding out hope that the north side explodes with renovations and new development in the coming years!!

Thanks for the info, 'gasm. I hope both can be salvaged, but given the condition of the first and the location of the second I guess I won't hold my breath. It breaks my heart...

I have an unhealthy obsession with Samuel Shepard Drive. It's such an interesting street to me, and it has the potential to be so cool.

I would LOVE to renovate these rowhouses:
