The Marvelous Claire-ian the Librarian, she of Postcards from North St. Louis, Curious Feet and Dewey Decimal Drinks, is also the organizer of Drinks & Mortar, an architecture-themed happy hour. (In full disclosure, she is also my way cool neighbor on N. 19th in Old North.)
Tonight, a bunch of people who like buildings will gather at Mattingly's from 7-10 to drink Missouri-brewed beer. Per Claire:
"Drinks will be from 7-10 pm this Thursday, March 26th, at Mattingly Brewing Company, located at 3000 S. Jefferson in Benton Park. It's convenient to the 30 Soulard, 11 Chippewa, and 93 Midtown South County buses. Mattingly brews their own beer, and has a number of different varieties available. Bonus: Their pizza is AMAZING. We hope to see you there--we got buildings to talk about!
PLEASE NOTE: Drinks and Mortar will be taking its first-ever hiatus for the month of April, but we'll be back full force in May! Our May gathering will be on the 28th, at The Bleeding Deacon. Clear yer calendar now!
Any questions, e-mail clairelovesthecity {at} gmail.com!"
I'm hoping to make it down there, probably closer to 10 than to 7; cheers to St. Louis bricks, the clay they're made from, and a world free of blueprints downloaded, prefab, off the Internets. --Stefene Russell
