Just For Fun: Halloween Light Show near Lindenwood Park

Locals- has anyone visited #6632 Bancroft Ave. in South City during the month of October?  Imagine being 8 years old again and walking up to this house to trick-or-treat...


YIKES!

Their incredibly impressive (and terrifying) Halloween light show is viral on YouTube. This is last year's show. Apparently, the lights run nightly during Halloween week and the Homeowner has yet to post what 2016 has in store. NOTE: The house is a stone's throw from Ted Drewes, so celebrate the scare with a pumpkin concrete.  The perfect October evening with the family, right?

If interested, see the Homeowner's past displays HERE.

Creative homeowners always abound on YouTube this time of year!  Imagine being 9 again and walking up to THIS house on Halloween night...

Viral Video: Here is St. Louis- part 2

If you are from St. Louis, please take a couple of minutes to watch this video. It will totally reignite your passion for our city...
If you are NOT from St. Louis- this is why our city is so deeply rooted. Why people tend to remain here or return to raise their families runs so much deeper than paper thin pizza and custard served upside down.

What an amazing and beautiful compilation of our city's best... *goosebumps*

Just For Fun: The Harlem Shake- St. Louis Style

It is bizarre, unexplainable, and has taken over St. Louis. The new Harlem Shake trend has spread across St. Louis like wildfire!

I know.  I don't get it either?! Ha.

Regardless, local businesses, sports teams, and families are stripping down to their skivvies, sporting their oddest get ups, and partaking in this newest online viral trend.

A handful from our city- in true St. Louis fashion, try to spot someone who you know... =)
































Even Truman tried his hand at it:

Unique Property: The Junk Castle

I saw this story on CNN Money and found it fascinating! Look at what a high school art teacher managed to make from scraps and imagination...

Now THAT is repurposing!  It reminded me of the City Museum...

EYE love Peat Wollaeger...

You can hardly go anywhere in St. Louis without seeing the whimsical touch of local graffiti stencil artist, Peat Wollaeger! He is livening up St. Louis, one piece and "EYE" at a time.

While his work is starting to pop up all over the country, it is super widespread in St. Louis...

This piece is my personal favorite, as it brought healing to the heart of a city suffering a horribly tragic loss.  Peat perfectly captured the magic of the beloved Bob Cassilly, creative genius of the St. Louis City Museum and numerous other local treasures like Turtle Park.

Peat even has real estate on the walls of MY house =)... 

If you have never seen Peat work, it is pretty amazing!  A perfect ode to St. Louis, I present to you Peat's St. Louis Breakdown...
