HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO E.G. LEWIS!

Today is Edward Gardner Lewis birthday!  Did you know that University City was founded as a Utopian Community?  That Lewis especially promoted Equal Rights and opportunities for women?  That his interest in the City Beautiful style of planning and architecture greatly influenced the Loop and surrounding neighbourhoods?  And that he believed that University City should offer housing for all economic brackets?  Learn this and more on the video available at the University City Library about the history and origins of University City!

He also founded a second Utopian Community, which became the city of Atascadero, California.

If Noir at the Bar seemed too "R" rated for you, then this at least will have cookies and be in a brightly lit auditorium with librarians close at hand.

TORY Z STARBUCK

Tory has been part of the St. Louis music scene for as long as Lupe can remember.  Lupe enjoyed hearing him perform at the Way Out Club during the Surgery/ Re-Antimation Reunion on August 20th.

Lupe is more of a leisurely stroller than a runner, but she does enjoy this annual event!


See you in the Loop!!!
