After almost eight weeks of absence, I have returned to St. Louis and to this blog. Many adventures were had. More on those later.
I arrived at Lindell Terrace about an hour ago. It was before midnight, so the Gateway Arch was still lit. Entering my apartment, I approached the windows and pulled open the blinds. I was awestruck. The view… it’s absolutely phenomenal! Yes! Yes, I say. The San Luis is gone, and I say, “yes!”
I knew this would happen. Despite my feelings about the demolition of that building, I knew that once it was gone, I would be thrilled. And, I am. Right now, all that remains of the San Luis (at this height, anyway) is the elevator tower. I actually like it, all by itself. I wish they could leave it that way. Perhaps I’ll take a picture tomorrow. Anyway, the perfection of the view is now hindered only by the abominable Cathedral Basilica. I’ll work on that next (or whenever I get around to abolishing Catholicism).
Welcome, St. Louis, welcome back.
