I used to go over to Union Station Market at noon and buy wonderful produce. Of course the owners refused to renew the merchant’s lease and the whole place was remade into fast food spaces close to the Convention Center. Never was a big draw.
After the Metro Link went in, we used to hop it down to Union Station for lunch and a quick shop. Or we’d go to Famous Barr or Dillards/St. Louis Center.
That St. Louis center was terrific shopping and food court back then. All gone last time I was there.
SEARCH FOR NAYA RIVERA—another famous person and “water” incident??
“Glee” actress and singer Naya Rivera is missing after her 4-year-old son was found alone on a boat on Lake Piru in Ventura County Wednesday, sheriff’s officials said.
“This is considered to be a horrible accident,” Ventura County Sheriff’s Department officials said, expressing that no foul play was suspected.
The department said it responded to a report of a boy alone on a boat around 4:48 p.m. Officers found Rivera’s child asleep on a pontoon boat that had been rented some three hours earlier, officials said. No information was immediately released about the child’s condition.
Rivera, 33, and her son had gone swimming but the actress did not get back on the boat, the sheriff’s department said. The child had a life vest on but it is believed that Rivera did not, as an adult life vest was found on board the boat.
I remember when it was a big deal that they had recreated the Delmar Loop trolley. Then next thing I read a few years ago that it had shut down again. This is why we can’t have nice things. Used to live there, 50 years ago.
It was not very nice 50 years ago (think Pruitt Igoe) but it seemed to have gotten better but given the last ten years, I’m sure it’s in the crapper again today.
