There are some really beautiful buildings in STL! Great job capturing them. :cheers:
|
That is a lot of damn turtles.
|
You got around, but I'm guessing these were taken early on a Sunday or something, because the sidewalks in the CWE and the Loop are rarely that sparse.
|
This epic thread reveals St. Louis' incredible collection of fine architecture and true, old-school urbanity. Just amazing. And turtles.
|
most visitors have no idea that there is an entire city stretching for miles behind the arch (or if they do they don't really have the right idea) - clearly you did some homework summit street. bravo.
|
The turtle is the perfect analogy for STL -- slow paced, sturdy, long-lived, and resilient.
Amazing photo set! Very comprehensive! :cheers: Out of curiosity, were the Central West End photos taken mid-morning, say 10am? I have literally never seen the CWE look like a ghost town to that degree. |
That is my city. I live there. I and I am lucky. EXCELLENT THREAD!!!

People that say they hate St. Louis, don't know St. Louis! St. Louis is a beautiful city and one of the better built cities in America. It's amazing to me that St. Louis hasn't been rediscovered on a national level like a New Orleans, Charleston, and recently Pittsburgh. St. Louis is definitely a city that deserves its day in the sun again.

Very nice city and pics! Thanks for sharing.
You´ve done a very great job posting so many pictures in just one thread. I´ve enjoyed for a long time watching St Louis. Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.:tup: |
This is only part 1?? Holy Jeezus! Great pictures though. Very thorough look at St. Louis. I really like what's going on on Cherokee :tup:
|

|
Epic in deed. (I saw that little sign near the end)

I was in the CWE more than once, but most of these were between 10am-11am on a Monday. The weather was rather chilly, so in the cafes the people were inside instead of sitting on the outside seats. A few people walking around too, but I think most others were inside somewhere making more turtle statues. (During the afternoon/evening times, I saw many more humans out.) |
You were able to capture almost everything I try to show out of town guests when they come visit. Fantastic Thread!

Awesome set. Same with Part 2! I remember as a youngster wondering why there seemed to be turtles all over the place. I seem to remember specifically some turtles in the vicinity of 40 near Forest Park and the Zoo. Might actually be that first one you pictured- or I might be crazy. Stuff I haven't particularly cared to look for since, but am suddenly thinking of now. I always knew I was in the city when I saw the turtles.
Also, the largest actual turtles I've ever seen I saw at Grant's Farm some years ago. |
