San Luis: This Was the Future



In early March, I received a call from Jeff Vines. He was part of a team that entered a documentary film competition, and they had been fortunate enough to draw "history" for their topic. You know what that meant -- a chance to celebrate the DeVille Motor Hotel! Jeff's team included familiar faces -- his brother Randy, filmmaker Carson Minow, editor Jon Swegle and musician Brian Wiegert. Toby Weiss and I were interview subjects for what turned out to be a smart, cool little film. Check it out!

Think of what you could do if you put all this effort into sheltering the homeless, feeding the hungry, etc., etc., etc...

^How ironic. Wasn't the San Luis a HUD building that housed low-income residents before they were abruptly kicked out? Perhaps the building could be returned to that use and we'd have fewer homeless people in STL.
