A Touch of France

I am so low on material that I have to resort to phone cam shots from my office window. This one got some interest on Flickr. It looks north on Broadway and I 70 during a thunderstorm. The domed stadium without a football team is on the left and the Four Seasons Hotel on the right.

The hotel has a strange LED system on that brick fin that sticks out of it. It's usually illuminated at night but this was midday. This was taken on July 7 so why is it, so to speak, flying the French flag a week before le quatorze Juillet? I dunno. Maybe it's a test.

The next two weeks at work are awful. I'll post as often as I can.     

Heartbroken

Or howl at the moon, whatever you'd like to call it. There is a bar here called that. These musicians, probably hired by the local business association, were playing on the sidewalk in Laclede's Landing outside of the defunct Heartbreaker's Rock and Roll Saloon. A number of bars and restaurants in the district have been shuttered because the fine folks renovating the Arch grounds blocked the most convenient access with construction. And no compensation offered.                        

On the other hand, the owners of the Four Seasons Hotel and Lumiere Place Casino did a better job with the French flag last night. No cedar of Lebanon sighted, though.
