Something like the Moxy proposal would help the business at the west end of downtown proper where Simply Delicious was located. Chestnut to St. Charles blocks between Tucker and 11th are some of our more egregious parking blocks. Desperately need infill there.
^21c is awesome. Everyone should check it out. They do yoga classes in the art galleries, the cafe Good Press is pretty, and the athletic club Locust Street underground is a cool rehab of the Y facilities. You can get a day pass and go swim, workout, hit the steam room, sauna - it’s a good way to spend a winter saturday. They do memberships also.
^Railway Exchange is so sad. It really is jarring every time I walk out of Park Ave or Hayden’s and I should be used to it by now. The Gittos glazed brick building and Gill terra cotta building just sitting lonely looking like they are about to be crushed by that Godzilla of a parking garage keeps me up at night. I can’t imagine a worse living example of the damage to our built environment. I would say the guests at Hotel St. Louis and business/convention visitors probably leave with a clouded view of our city bc of Railway and the garage.
