I am glad to see there is new life being generated between Tucker and Jefferson. (East to West) and Delmar and Market (N to S). Till now, the focus was deeply on residential. I am glad to see good comercial ventures come through.
I am also VERY glad that Jim has chosen DT rather than the county.
Jim is ok in my book. I agree, I love that he chose a city place and not someplace in westport or west county. Pujols dropped a few points on my card when he opened his place out in Westport (who goes there anyway?).
Go Jim!

Lots of people go to westport. Try going there on a saturday night. The bars and clubs are usually very busy. It's usually frequented by a lot of people from west of 270. If anyone should be upset, it's Ozzie Smith for Pujols pissing in his backyard. Doesn't show a lot of support for one of the all time Cardinal greats.
Of course, the cardinals are half way to a full lineup of restaurants:
3rd - Mike Shannon
1st - Pujols
SS - Ozzie
CF - Edmonds
Only need 2nd base to fill out the infield! Of course, with the way cardinals chew through second basemen, I wouldn't expect one for a while.

Jim Edmonds will swing for the fences with 'Fifteen'

"LOCAL TALENT: Now that Jim Edmonds' restaurant and lounge, "Fifteen" (after his number, of course), is this close to opening, word is that Josh Roland, a chef, is working as a consultant for development — helping with the menu and food concepts. Edmonds and Mark Winfield are opening the place — which has been described as a fresh take on a steakhouse — at 1900 Locust Avenue. It's being developed at a reported cost of nearly $4 million and will have both first and second floor patios, a large bar and room for private parties as well as general restaurant space. Winfield, a cousin to St. Louis Alderman Stephen Gregali, formerly was a co-owner and manager of the Lafayette Pub, now in Soulard. Roland, a Christian Brothers High School grad class of '97, is the son of Tricia Roland-Hamilton and PR spinner Lou Hamilton. When last in the news, Roland the younger was a sous chef at the tony Jean Georges restaurant in NYC."
