The old headquarters of the Missouri Athletic Club has sat for a century at the corner of Washington and Broadway. Its stated mission is "to
be the premier athletic, social and dining club for business,
professional and civic leaders and their families in the St. Louis
area." I think that means a place for monied white guys to go to the gym and bar, have a steak and cut business deals away from the riff-raff. Of course, they admit women and people of color these days but everyone has to pay to play. I do not belong. As Groucho Marx said, I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
The distinctive logo is known at the cherry diamond. The top and middle pictures were taken moments apart, just before and after the lights were turned on at twilight. I can't decide which I like better.
TOMORROW: it's Thursday, and you can see the Arch from at least one place on Washington.
Again, sorry for so few comments. It's nutso month at work.
