Food and Music: The Second Installment.
The second installment of The Rep’s series Cooking, Carols & Cocktails is now available, and it’s highly enticing. Where else, for instance, are you going to find “Jingle Bells” with some scat singing? Paige Alyssa gives it up in great... Continue reading

A Little Escapism
I'm so grateful in this year of staying home that a couple of years ago I got to do one of my long-time travel goals, Christmas markets in Europe. (Christmas is a very underrated time of year to travel. Fascinating... Continue reading

Update on Media History Move
What many of us knew (and loved) as the St. Louis Journalism Review, and not just because the board (Joe was a member) met downstairs at the old Balaban's for Sunday brunch and long, interesting discussions, is now the Gateway... Continue reading

Throwback Thursday, Indeed!
A lovely piece by Paul Schankman for HEC about the St. Louis Media History Foundation. Lots of nostalgic bits of radio voices and television personalities, nearly all local. Plus some discussion of what we do. Here's the link to it:... Continue reading

Gastronomic Diplomacy
An interesting piece found, of all places in the University of Nebraska alumni publication. So sorry all we can do now is virtual travel, but this is heartening to read. https://www.huskeralum.org/s/1620/magazine/interior.aspx?sid=1620&gid=1&pgid=2302 Continue reading

Tomorrow, Sunday, is the last day of service for Cusanelli's on Lemay Ferry Road. There's quite a history to it, as I discovered in researching Iconic Restaurants of St. Louis (which I am now finishing up the editing of). Covid... Continue reading

Another sign that society operates in circles has appeared in St. Louis. Eighty years ago, people listened to drama on the radio. That would be 1940 or so, the year Tennessee Williams’ play Battle of Angels was professionally produced in... Continue reading

Another Giant is Gone
I am sorry to report that we have lost Jack Parker, the publican of O'Connell's. Though less seen in recent times, Jack was a master of the trade, almost Zen-like. Here's what I wrote for St. Louis Magazine. https://www.stlmag.com/dining/remembering-jack-parker-owner-of-o-connell-s-pub-died-june-19-2020/ Continue reading

Local Chef Kitchen
I am sorry to report that Local Chef Kitchen is closing. I am even sorrier that we lost chef Rob Uyemura to cancer in February. It wasn't widely reported, and my only excuse for not knowing is that I had... Continue reading

Dress the Part
It must be quite a show if the names Sondheim and Stupefyin’ Jones pass through my mind in the first thirty minutes or so. Dress the Part, from Shakespeare Festival of St. Louis is a take on The Two Gentlemen... Continue reading

Wildfire
Because of my own life, I've long been fascinated by the question of nature versus nurture. Upstream Theater looks at just that as it presents the American premiere of Wildfire by Quebecois author David Pacquet, the English translation by Leanna... Continue reading
