It’s been sixteen months since I moved back to the St. Louis area from Brooklyn, New York. Because I seek interaction with new people and tend to make friends quickly, I was concerned that St. Louis would begin to feel too small to me once I got on my feet here. I wondered how long it [...]

I was thrilled when I found an invitation in my inbox from Abby, the Yelp Community Manager in St. Louis, inviting me to participate in a Blogger’s Roulette during Yelp Eats! week June 21st-27th. Drinks and dinner were served at The Shaved Duck in the Tower Grove neighborhood of St. Louis. The restaurant was cozy, with exposed [...] Saturday, June 19th was St. Louis Uncorked, a downtown wine and music festival. It was supported this year by KMOX, KEZK and Y98 FM, but it was organized by a private special events company, which I believe was a wise choice on the part of the radio stations. Despite soaring temperatures and unbelievable humidity, my friend and [...] One of the many good things that’s happened to St. Louis in 2010 is Yelp. St. Louis’s Yelp community manager, Abby, is in tune with what’s happening with St. Louis businesses, social media and marketing. As a result, she’s influencing lots of St. Louis-area people and businesses to share their products, services and reviews via Yelp. From Monday, [...] Today is the St. Louis Association of Fundraising Professionals biennial conference, and I’ve been given the opportunity to present at the conference on social media and marketing special events. I’m thrilled not only to speak at the conference, but to be able to attend the conference, learning from other fantastic nonprofit professionals. The first session I attended [...] On Friday, May 14th, a dozen or so St. Louis-area tweeps gathered to inaugurate The Silver Ballroom, in its punk rock pinball glory, to the annals of St. Louis twitter history. I’m perpetually on the lookout for things about St. Louis that would surprise people. The Silver Ballroom certainly qualifies as a pleasant St. Louis surprise. [...] On Friday, May 13th, we’ll be holding another great St. Louis-area tweet-up. As with almost any tweet-up I organize, no RSVP is necessary, and the more the merrier. South City, St. Louis is one of my favorite parts of the city. Cool red brick homes, hipster bars, and a real neighborhood feel prevail. Of course, there’s the intermittent crime [...] Today’s post is dedicated, once again, to notable bathrooms. Local Harvest, located in South City St. Louis, is a fantastic little cafe that offers spectacular local-produced foods. It’s also the only restaurant I’ve found in St. Louis that offers a vegetarian slinger (if you’re not from St. Louis, I’ll educate you on this diner-food-of-the-STL-gods). Local Harvest has [...] |
