S. Kingshighway, #1

I committed to this site today, and given that I’m daily taking photos I hope that I’ll be updating here almost as often. I have a decent amount to share just to catch up, but tonight I’ll just post the catch of the day. I just parked on a side street off S. Kingshighway and walked for thirty minutes or so. I’ve thought about this area and wanted to explore on foot as it’s this vast wasteland in the middle of an otherwise dense part of town.

What the heck is this?

In the center off in the distance there is a huge graffiti mural, I think reading “CDEEZ” with a row of signatures beneath.

The former Jefferson Cafe (so yes, this is Jefferson Ave, not Kingshighway but was the last shot I took today), which burned the morning of June 7th after years of neglect, resulting from out of town ownership. I took this about 11pm, both because I wanted to try out the Manfrotto tripod I picked up today from Schillers and also because this is such a common story in St. Louis.
