I'm close to the area where Vonderrit Myers was killed and it's also been a gathering place for protests.
As I pushed the trash cart out last night, saw police blocking off a street and the soundtrack for last night was helicopters.
Woke up feeling sad and wasn't good for much today as I couldn't concentrate on anything.
As I headed to work saw many businesses that I like, including Rooster which Alison and I just went to on Sunday, boarded up. Rooster recently opened and it's practically a glass house.
A call went out to artists and they painted the boards of the businesses...
Went swimming tonight and, besides a student/teacher, I was the only one in the pool. It was nice to stretch out and calm my mind...
Turning scary, boarded-up look into neighborhood art project! Love @SouthGrandSTL pics by @PlantDoctorUS #CityStrong pic.twitter.com/U6ACsakgrJ

I've been worried about you, not sure where you live in relation to the scene(s). Be safe!
ReplyDeleteAlso I love what the artists did with the boarded up businesses.
Am safe... Sorry that I didn't respond earlier but life has been a little challenging of late.
