About a year ago the Bosnian community leaders wanted to express their thanks to the city and met with a mayor to present their idea, the idea was a sebilj - a kiosk-shaped public wooden and stone fountain. The original one was installed in Sarajevo in the 1700's, see it below

In Sarajevo



On the corner of Gravois and Morganford (across the street from Bevo mill) still have landscaping to do

Awesome.... I still think a drama or other smart production based on the Saint Louis Bosnian community could be really interesting.

I was working on a concept a couple years ago. I just need talent, production company, money, a good screenplay writer, you know, everything....

I was in Sarajevo in March and had a chance to see the original. It's a beautiful little monument.

The soldiers forced 7-year-old Vedad and his family from their nearby city of Vlasenica and sent them fleeing, from Bosnia to Switzerland to St. Louis.

I realize the are aiming for a replica but I wish they base was sheathed in Granite. Other than that awesome addition to Bevo.

It looks to me like that concrete will be clad with something, so you may get your wish
