WATC:SKATEBOARDING FROM BERLIN - CHRISTOPH WEISS

Street Update: Clarence

Clarence with some more photos! This time they're photos of him. Sick. Just in time for Valentines day. Which reminds me, if you have a chick- dodge her all day and tell her you don't believe in corporate holidays for religious reasons.

here's some motivation for V-day

Fuck corporate holidays; spend $$ on WhiteOut & RT-FaQ

"..when we get to get on stage and look people in their eyes and express our passion... for however long our set is; we take advantage of that anytime possible, even if it means taking two gigs in one night.. The people of St. Louis, all of us on the East Side and the surrounding areas are more important than most of them even know.  Without them there is no US. Point blank." - RT-FaQ, 2.12.11.

Hailing from East St. Louis and Fairview Heights, WhiteOut and RT-FaQ had one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Their passion and enthusiasm represents WATC and it is highly visible in their words and presence. When I talked to them after their performance, I was shocked by the amount of energy they still had left over that even my scatter-brain-insomniac-mind could not comprehend. It was an impressive, yet graceful impression they left not only on myself but everyone in the audience. These twenty-something guys are driven by their heart and pushed by the constant attainment of more complex and rewarding goals that they create for themselves. Who knew two non-natives would defy the St. Louis DIY ethic..

If you are going to spend any cheddah on a bag of flaming hot cheetos or a rello (or some shitty chocolates), hold up on the artery cloggin' and purchase their single, On and On on iTunes. Celebrate this VeeDay by showing some positive love.

WATC will forever be my valentine.

Hyde Park -St. Louis by F. Burke

"As one of the residents... said, “other people have wondered why I haven’t left, and I say, 'Why should I? I’m fine here'. The neighbors look out for each other, and I like the house and neighborhood. There is a nice mixture of people, from the poor to the college educated and well-off. That’s important to me. I don’t want to live in just a homogeneous upper-middle-class area.”"

I found an article that one of my professors wrote about Hyde Park in North St. Louis near downtown. Professor Burke made me appreciate and comprehend the importance of documenting the lifestyle of not only the people but as well as the life of the neighborhoods and buildings within them. At a glance, she is a small woman with a short boyish haircut, but when she speaks - you become amazed by her use of words and vast knowledge of relevant information.

Since you're going to be snowed in, you might as well take the time to read the article. It's worth it.

BUILT ST.LOUIS

BUILT ST.LOUIS
A site dedicated to the historic architecture of St. Louis, Missouri - mourning the losses, celebrating the survivors.
POWER'S WAS NICE ENOUGH TO LINK US ON HIS SITE. LEARN MORE ABOUT STL...

ABOUT THE SITE

The content of Built St. Louis is brought to you by ROB POWERS, except for reader contributions(click here WATC) and quoted articles as noted.
Built St. Louis began as a way to document the destruction of the city's historic architecture. Spurred on by the 1996 demolition of the Ambassador Theater, and shocked that the Arcade, Syndicate Trust, and others were similarly threatened, I began photographing them and posting the photos online that fall. Over the years it's grown into a way for me to express both joy and outrage over changes in the cityscape.
