Without patricians, slouisans would be left to flounder, I suppose. Perhaps they can persuade their peers in the baseball business to "develop", or at least tidy up, that TRUE "disgrace" north of the baseball stadium. Now that IS a "mess".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-14109431981559145182008-11-25T08:39:00.000-06:002008-11-25T08:39:00.000-06:00Post Dispatch says the deal is still on.Post Dispatch says the deal is<A HREF="http://www.stltoday.com/blogzone/the-platform/uncategorized/2008/11/arch-planning-nods-but-doesnt-bow-to-wall-street/" REL="nofollow"> still on</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-46076606811607124982008-11-25T08:20:00.000-06:002008-11-25T08:20:00.000-06:00Good, I'm tired of St. Louis's aristocracy trying ...Good, I'm tired of St. Louis's aristocracy trying to "save" the lowly proletariat of the city. "Oh, if we'd just listen to rich people, our city would be wonderful."<BR/><BR/>Having worked in museums close to ten years now, no one in my field would ever claim that a museum on the Arch grounds would solve any of the issues being addressed. Museums are the product of a strong cultural scene, not the cause.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064334959354090683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826793.post-2027685591285005852008-11-24T17:46:00.000-06:002008-11-24T17:46:00.000-06:00If it means they're no longer trying to hijack the...If it means they're no longer trying to hijack the Arch planning process, that's probably a good thing.
