  That comment's hilarious. I think Steve does a nice job on his blog, but it's kind of a legacy blog and has grown a bit stale. I don't think he's doing anything different, but other's have popped up or add more substance. It's more a commentary on the emerging vitality of the city than it is an issue with Steve or Urban Review STL. For what it's worth I spend a lot of time on www.stlurbanworkshop.com

  Steve Patterson is a crazy old coot whose blog is approaching unreadability. What about Ecology of Absence's rich, brain-busting spirals? The gutsy punk-rock spirit of B.E.L.T.? Don't call it a comeback, Vanishing STL has been doing this shizz for years! The arrogant and electrifying Doug Duckworth's Urban Affairs? St. Louis Urban Workshop? These are the real rock stars of local development discussion. They don't write about the party; they attend the party, do a keg-stand, ride a toboggan down the basement stairs. Every built structure in town is putting on its Friday finest, lining up to make sweet preservation hay with these kids. They sweat it out in the streets and the Board meetings, then write it so you sweat a little bit, too. Can we hop off the Urban Review STL (even typing the name makes me tired!) train? His whining is tantamount to exhaustion and surrender. Give me the dreamers of the dream, the glitter-bound, the called and the purposed! Full disclosure: I am dating a H.U.C. (Hot Urban Chick)
