A Floating Bar for the St. Louis Riverfront
Busch II Infield
I'm switching to typing because 1) my handwriting is terrible and 2) I was getting frustrated with how slow it was going. Screw it, I'm going to just type what I already wrote tonight. I started this blog to type up some of what I've already written, anyway. I walked to Ballpark Village tonight. I've beene drawn to it a lot during the COVID-19 downtown walks with Taylor. He always wanted to go to the Arch, which was understandable. It's also an incredible public space. I was primarily drawn to BPV because I like investment. I like places that are the result of a lot of money. I like glamorous hotels. I like that mix of modern & postmodern. I like gaudy postmodern, it's an easy way to show glamour. BPV isn't the most glamorous. The Loews Hotel is nice and the Walk of Fame has some nice materiality. Overall though, it's just a lot more fine tuned than a public street, which is sadly what constitutes most of our public space. As for gaudy gimmick...
