The Gramophone?
So it's late, a bit too late to do much digging, but the ol' Myspace page has yielded a new friend for 52nd City: the Gramophone.
Sounds like a new club, it does:
The Gramophone will be a gathering place for people who live music. If you are a jazz enthusiast, a blues lover, a renegade of funk or just a live music junkie, you can find your groove at the Gramophone. And whether you prefer to enjoy live acts from our full-service bar, in a private seating area or at a stage-front table, the Gramophone will be a comfortable place to take in great live music or just relax with friends.
Tentatively scheduled to open in February 2008, the Gramophone will be open five nights a week and will feature live music of rotating genres (including--but not limited to -- jazz, blues, hip hop, rock, bluegrass, funk and pop), along with some of the finest DJs from St. Louis and beyond. Our full bar will serve beers on tap, wine, classic cocktails and a menu of specialty cocktails. The Gramophone will also be available for private parties and special events.
We look forward to joining St. Louis' vibrant music scene. More information, including a calendar of events, will be coming soon! Please check back for updates, and in the meantime, you can email us at info@thegramophonelive.com.
someone should tell annie zaleski before she disappears again! i'm pretty sure whe lives for the art of new venue interview. in all seriousness though, looks like this fall and winter are bringing in at least 3 or 4 new venues by my count, which means my flickr is going to become time consuming. you?

We also originally linked to the Gramophone webpage, still under construction. The links above send to the club's more populated myspace page.
