nice shots, aaron. the windshield (?) gives some of them an almost polaroid-looking aura. i've got a bunch of recent loop shots i've meaning to post as well...

also, the "some sort of mural" is the site of a new african american cultural center. not sure when it's supposed to break ground though - it's been in the oven for several years now. here's a link to the preliminary review from the STL planning and urban design agency: click me!
