Interesting. I've seen the shuttlecock in KC and the spoon in Minneapolis - guess I should have made the connection that it was the same artist.

I love the bowling ball and crashing pins on that site. I'd love to have that on the mall!

I dunno, is there a massé shot in croquet? Actually, I'd say take a really hard shot to the northeast with a lot of back and clockwise spin, right through the Gateway One building, demolishing it completely. The shot would then arc through both Kiener Garages - leaving nothing more than dust and rubble - and then continue down Chestnut, just missing the corner of the Old Courthouse, and then onto the Arch grounds and through the wicket.DeBaliviere wrote:jlblues wrote:Can we have a giant croquet mallet and ball commissioned for the mall - aimed at the Arch of course?
It would have to go in Luther Ely Smith Park (right in front of the Hyatt), right?
Vince Bommarito among candidates to open Gateway Mall cafe
St. Louis Business Journal - by Rick Desloge
Tony's owner Vince Bommarito is one of several restaurateurs who has looked at operating the proposed new café on the Gateway Mall in downtown St. Louis.
A new cafe with indoor and outdoor dining could rise within the next 15 months.
The restaurant operator has yet to be identified, but the Gateway Foundation interviewed four or five potential operators who would work from a new, roughly 2,500-square-foot building, according to people familiar with the project.
Bommarito said he was approached about the possibility and is excited to be considered, but has no agreement.

They shouldn't have cut down the trees that were there 500 years ago.

They shouldn't have given the Cahokians smallpox and taken their land.

Actually, that is a bad example. Cahokia was abandoned (for reasons still unknown) hundreds of years before Europeans ever showed up in this area.
So there!

You never would have known that if the area hadn't been conquered by the French imperialists, with their diseases and croissants and skin trades. They've descecrated all that was abandoned. And think of all the mounds left around, piles of dirt hurting no one except those that made StL what it is today: a city with an urban greenway and not buildings in those plots. Unforgiveable. Makes me want to give all the land back to the Plains Indians and Mexico.
But I don't think that's going to happen, so I instead look forward to a $20M sculpture garden being built downtown. Yeah progress.

How exactly do you move on from past blunders? That notion seems counter to our democracy.
