St Louis has bricks
Is brick making a comeback in urban architecture?
GOOD! Build with brick instead of the cheap half brick and stuck on panels indicative with the new junk that is going up https://www.msn.com/en-us/arts/architecture/brick-is-back/ar-AA1Akhok

FWIW, here's the new Hermes store in New York (this is all-new construction).

^Thank God it's new construction because if not, that would've been a massacre. But that's already a massacre in its own right.

The Brass Tap has 5 area locations planned, all for St. Louis County and St. Charles County. The first will be going in at the Olive Crossing development in Olivette.
Just putting all of their chips on the suburbs I guess.

Sweet, this chain is a big supporter of the beer I sell and the only location currently in my territory is in Cedar Falls, IA. I hope we can get a presence from BJ Brewhouse and or World of Beer one of these days. Would love to get Flying Saucer back one day too.

Brass Tap is designed to be in the suburbs—the kind of place people who like craft beer but don't want to go to the parts of the city where some breweries are located can feel comfortable.
I'm still surprised the Flying Saucer couldn't make it in STL.GoHarvOrGoHome wrote: ↑Mar 10, 2025Sweet, this chain is a big supporter of the beer I sell and the only location currently in my territory is in Cedar Falls, IA.

^ Even if it wasn't new construction. It's new and interesting, remains appropriately scaled with street frontage. What would be the problem?
Was in Nashville this weekend the mix of old and new architecture (as opposed to old and faux old) was quite refreshing.

Architect making a statement about guardrails associated with historic rehab? Weirdest new build I've seen in a while.

Brentwood wants to have it's own "downtown". Yet another suburb realizing that density = economic growth = tax revenue and proving that urbanists have been right all along. Crazy how that works.

Really should just figure out how to urbanize the Promenade and Brentwood Pointe utilize the space more efficiently beyond parking and utilize the metro stop. Same for Galleria/the Boulevard area. That would be positive. Another “drive to downtown Brentwood and live, play and work instead of ever going to our actual city downtown” would be a negative.Auggie wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2025https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... souri.html

Austin has one super wide major expressway dividing its city and they are putting in several caps on that one expressway to reconnect the city. We have three expressways carving up our city and we have one cap in front of our national park. KC also building large caps over the interstate downtown. Why is this not even on the radar in St. Louis with our interstates right now? I am not sure how financially responsible or environmental it actually is (versus simply removing/converting the expressways which is probably a better long term plan) but we are not seeing any progress at all in this field compared to other cities right now.
