The latest from Jive & Gasm...

Looking forward to seeing your pics, mrnyc!

I removed the NY pics, so it's 100% pure St. Louis now!

Jive and I finally got around to uploading our Instagram photos. So here they are, a hodgepodge of St. Louis photos from all over the city... Francis Slay, City of St. Louis Mayor, signs our celebrity mannequin! Flaming Lips sound check: Thanks for watching!!!

Truly sad. Every older American city has wiped out a significant portion of their urban fabric in the automobile age. There's no doubt that most of these historic dense districts would be the most prized neighborhoods today if they hadn't been leveled in the name of "progress." St. Louis' Mill Creek Valley suffered the same exact fate. You don't know what you got till it's gone.

Detroit also has plenty of historic high-rises, scattered around New Center, Midtown and along Jefferson Ave. I saw about two in the University Circle area, to be fair.

Wow, are any of those buildings in Hough still standing? Such a sad, sad loss! I echo all of Jivecity's comments. I absolutely love Cleveland and its people.

Gotta love gritty Chicago in the '70s!

That's the Grand Avenue water tower. Of the 7 remaining historic water towers in the U.S., St. Louis has 3 of them.

That's my city! Gotta love the Red Brick Mama!

I've been waiting to see these! I hope there are many more to come!

It's a new tacky cheap watered down payless shoe store version of University Circle. You are an idiot. First of all, nothing about the Central West End is "new"... Secondly, there is nothing cheap or watered down about it. The vast majority of businesses are independently or locally-owned. The Central West End was a mature urban neighborhood when University Circle was a pasture. I advise you to visit before claiming to know what you're talking about.
