After multiple attempts by the Post-Dispatch’s photographer to catch us in the act of doing work, he was lucky enough to snap this quick shot of Tower29’s creative director, Ken Zarecki.  My guess is he was either checking his email or reading about whatever Apple’s next life-changing application might be, but no one reading today’s newspaper will ever know.

Check out the Post’s story on our building, the Ludwig Lofts.

At the end of the day July 14th, Dennis Phillips holds onto nearly 25% of the chips in play (26,420,000) with 9 players left in the 2008 WSOP Main Event. I have been seated at the table with Dennis many times and his “extremely aggressive” play, as Andrew Feldman at ESPN refers to it, is definitely not out of character.

For the first time in WSOP history, there will be a 4 month break between the 10th player going out and the final table.  Play will resume November 9th & 10th to determine who earns the coveted WSOP Main Event bracelet and the $9,119,338 first prize.  According to the ESPN WSOP broadcast schedule, the final table action will be edited immediately and aired on ESPN November 11th at 8pm (CST).

Good luck Dennis!

It was a sea of pink t-shirts and fanny packs marching down Market Street Saturday morning (6-21-2008). Over 66 thousand people participated in the race downtown celebrating breast cancer survivors and raising $3.3 million dollars for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Witnessing the mass of people and tributes to loved ones hit by breast cancer was truly an inspiring experience. The race/walk was about 3 miles long beginning at 15th and Olive Street, up to N. Compton and continued down Market Street to the finish line at Market and 14th Street.

As someone with loved ones who have battled breast cancer (My Mom is 5 years cancer free!), participating in the Race for the Cure imparts a sense of togetherness with so many that have helped friends and family fight breast cancer. For those brave women currently in the battle, I only wish that the Race for the Cure inspires a little hope along their way to being cancer free.

It is estimated that 182,460 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008.

As of June 10th, St. Louis’ Street view on Google Maps is live.  It provides a panoramic drive-by view of a large portion of metro St. Louis on both sides of the river.  From clues around town and comments of others, the photos seem to have been captured from late July to early October of 2007.
