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

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
