STL on CNN

Caught some lengthy conversation about this topic on the KFNS morning show "The Morning Grind" a bit ago, with hosts and callers weighing in on the future of Downtown. The discussion centered on a piece from CNN.com, "St. Louis poised for entertainment upswing," which was linked to STLtoday.com a few days back. If you've not seen, I'd love to link to it, but my new version of Explorer won't allow me to cut URLs.

So, go to: www.CNN.com. Scroll half-way down the page to the Travel sub-section. The first piece there today is the story in question.

And as it's always interesting to see who's quoted in such things, we have: Tom Bussmann, co-owner of Philip Slein Gallery; Patrick Welch, economics prof at SLU; Cardinals' owner Bill DeWitt; and local AIA prez John Berendzen. Jim Cloar of Downtown STL Partnership is indirectly quoted.
