From my place to STLgasm's...come along!
 
Earlier this week I took a leisurely walk to my brother's (STLgasm) place and then back again, via a short ride on the Metro. It was about 10:00am and I had no place to be, so I thought I'd bring my camera along. I live in the Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood of St. Louis; Gasm lives in the Central West End. This is by no means among my best of threads, because I didn't decide to take pictures until I was walking out the door. Some of the pics are out of order but I don't give a shit. Hope you enjoy the pics of my enjoyable morning walk:

Awesome Jive. Do we live in the greatest city or what.

ChrisLA Jul 3, 2008 2:22 PM

Both looks like very nice neighborhoods, thanks for sharing. BTW I like how they painted the trains on Metrolink. :tup:

jodelli Jul 3, 2008 2:23 PM

Wha? I thought St Louis looked like Detroit, but smaller. Learn something every day. ;)

??? Haven't you seen any of Jive's gazillion St. Louis threads?

I'm just jealous. You have a transit line. To Lambert. I have to drive to DTW later today.

Some nice shots you got there.

In case anyone is interested in seeing some other STL threads I've done over the years, here you go:

Great shots, I love all those beautiful old apartment buildings.

i_am_hydrogen Jul 3, 2008 3:12 PM

Two very classy 'nabes. Great shots, Jive.

TinChelseaNYC Jul 3, 2008 3:42 PM

Those are great pictures. I just love that town.

I-15 Jul 3, 2008 5:31 PM

Beautiful. St. Louis looks so good in the summertime

Austinlee Jul 3, 2008 5:32 PM

I came alright.


Seriously, out of all the amazing STL threads I've ever seen, this very well might be the best. Stunning architecture. What a city.

MplsTodd Jul 3, 2008 5:54 PM

I did a reverse version of your trip when I visited St Louis last summer. The CWE/U City area of St. Louis is incredible--I wish the Twin Cities had an area with similar density. Thanks for the photos!

pip Jul 3, 2008 6:30 PM

great pictures and all around the neighborhoods and trip look good.

I especially like the porches in this photo. How much does it cost to rent one of those apartments? rough answer, a guess.

STLgasm Jul 3, 2008 7:10 PM

You could probably rent a 2-bedroom in one of those babies for about $800-$900/mo. A lot of Wash. U. students live in the neighborhood. The Skinky-D is great.

HomeInMyShoes Jul 3, 2008 7:22 PM

I really like the come wander threads. I think I can picture where you were standing for almost every one of those photos. I really do miss the neighbourhood.

Nice to see the lofts behind the Park East Tower finally getting somewhere.

Have they finally demolished the Doctor's Building? I think I only saw one shot here that might have had a peak of it in the background and I couldn't see it.

pip Jul 3, 2008 7:23 PM

there was a thread of the Stinky-D and CWE, any possibility of a link to those? If only you have them handy.

I've got to get to St. Louis. Rather stay in a neighborhood then downtown.

yeah it looks like a beautiful neighborhood, this picture reminds me of parts of Chicago, specifically parts of Uptown.

Nice job.

I love my STL!

Not being from STL and living here now, I always said (say) it is one of the most underrated cities in the country.

I like the new "wrapped" Metro cars too. Metro is one of St. Louis' gems. :tup:

urbanactivist Jul 3, 2008 8:16 PM

^^ Very much agreed Pip.

As someone that partially grew up in the flip-side (Kansas City), it just amazes me that both cities can be located in the same state!!! What a difference a rail and some agressive planning has made!
