Hubs saw this Local STL company with funny advertising.
Side note: Any time we’re out and about and hubs uses the word ‘asphalt’.. I interrupt and say ‘who’s fault?’ He has no choice but to answer, ‘asses’. It’s one of those inside jokes that’s been going on for decades – that’s really only funny to us.
The Missouri Botanical Garden Garden Glow (in St. Louis) opens this weekend !! This is such an amazing event! Over a million lights bring the gardens to life after dark.
The Arch grounds and Visitor’s Center underwent a major renovation a few years ago to celebrate the Arch’s 50th anniversary. A short time-lapse of that process is below.
Check out the new tropical home of the Chihuly Studio sculpture that once greeted guests in the visitor center. It peeks through the canopy in different locations to give a brilliant blue highlight to the gorgeous green foliage.
This drone video takes you on a tour of the City Museum, which was opened in St. Louis, MO in October of 1997.
The museum was created by the artist Bob Cassilly. Cassilly converted a 10-story, 600,000 square foot warehouse that previously housed a shoe company into the magical twisting and turning world you see in the video, with the goal of creating a “city within a city.”
Working with a group of artists that included welders, painters, and sculptors, Cassilly built the museum over several years, starting in 1993 and finally opening it in 1997.
Over that entire time the group—which became known as the Cassilly Crew—worked in secret, which meant that when the museum finally opened it was the first time anyone had seen what they’d been building for all those years.
