There's brown paper covering the windows of the old Mia Rosa/Crostini space on Taylor and Manchester? Anyone know if something is moving in or if it's just being mothballed?
Joyia Tapas, "an eclectic Mediterranean Tapas Restaurant and Bar" from one of the partner's in Momo's, is going to open in the old Mia Rosa/Crostini space:

Love the new Grove sign near the Commerce Bank at Chouteau and Vandeventer.

Love it. It sounds like the developer is willing to pull it closer to the street, which would have been my only critique.

^I can personally vouch for the developer of this project, Patrick Barnidge. I have known him for many years, can attest to his interest in & affection for STL, and especially can call him an ethical and honest businessman. Simply enough, I am very proud to see both his return to STL and this great-looking project, and I wish him only the very best.
Other developers would do very, very well to work with Patrick and his company.

They use shipping containers to promote this show and in the show people live in them. Interesting that just as this is coming out, STL is getting its first shipping container house in real life, too.
We should open a real-live NEED/WANT here, too. It would also be pretty siiiiiick if SyFy gave us that Arch replica as well...Maybe a NEED/WANT in a shipping container with their Arch replica out front would be cool. It could be a Defiance-themed store and restaurant or something, I don't know. Depends on how successful it is, I suppose.

That's encouraging and an outdoor venue is a good start.beer city wrote:New 1000 person outdoor music venue behind Atomic Cowboy -

I've always thought the Grove would be a good location for an 800 to 1000 person live music venue for artists that aren't quite big enough for the Pageant. Since Mississippi Nights closed a lot of those shows have moved to Pops, and I hate that place.

It'll be interesting to see how they pull this one off, given the residential neighborhood behind them. I once helped open a music venue, and that one was indoors -- and we added $10k in acoustic glass layered over top of the existing windows to try to block the sound. Even then, it was hard to keep sound levels manageable for our residential neighbors. I wonder how they engineer acoustics for a 1000-person outdoor concert venue thirty feet from houses. Classical music isn't exactly their bent....we are also part of the process of helping Chip [Schloss] and Jim [Kellogg], the original owners of the Atomic Cowboy, develop the backyard into a 1000-capacity outdoor festival and concert venue.
I'm not saying I don't want it to work out for them. I'm just curious about how they'll make it work.

There are only about a dozen homes on the block behind AC and many may be rentals. It sounds as though they're simply converting the space they have into more of a proper venue.
Driving down Manchester in the Grove this aftenoon, I noticed a movie camera on a very large boom off on the side between Newstead and Tower Grove. The middle part of the Manchester was also blocked off. Does anybody know what is going on? Maybe a documentary of the up and coming Grove District.
a nationally syndicated reality show called "Sweetie Pies" is filmed in the Grove. It comes on the Oprah Winfrey Network and is extremely popular. This may have been directly related to that.swebb wrote:Driving down Manchester in the Grove this aftenoon, I noticed a movie camera on a very large boom off on the side between Newstead and Tower Grove.
