Photo Fun @ St. Louis Centre!
Our colleague in the STL Syndicate, Tom Lampe of STL Pretty War, recently ran into some unpleasant issues regarding his photography of St. Louis Centre. The flap drew a huge response in the discussion rooms of the archcitychronicle.com and even made Deb Peterson's column this morning.
Since it appears that the Centre is set on no internal photography, we at 52nd City wish to join Tom on Friday, December 23, with a noontime "photo walk" near the Centre. Let's say we meet at Washington and 6th Streets at 12 sharp and see what... er, develops. Perhaps we can post some of the best pics of this urban landmark.
And remember: word has it that some parts of St. Louis Centre are still commercially functioning, so get some holiday shopping done, while engaging in a bit of civic friskiness!
Your in urban impishness,
52nd City
GOOD LUCK! I'm glad you folks are doing this.
I wish I could participate, but there is no chance of me being able to get away from my food service job at lunch time.

Posted by carrie on Thu., Dec 22, 2005 at 10:13 PMTom Lampe and I took some shots and were (sorta) joined by two interested observers. Will stick a few pics up on my flickr page sometime over the weekend. The Centre... man, what a trip.
By the by, Claire (posting above) put some pics on the Ecology of Abscence website. Having just gone through the space today, it's easy to say that they fairly capture the present reality of the mall.
Posted by Thomas on Fri., Dec 23, 2005 at 3:30 PMI wish more people had shown up! Unlike some, my excuse is not holiday-related. Actually, it kinda is. I was off from work and stayed home to work on pressing rehab tasks. Darnit. So now you know exactly where my sense of adventure went... At least we were able to put our photos up -- hope that helps.
