Picture 8
Vanishing STL notes that artist Amy Fontinelle of Seeing St. Louis has just published a book, Disappearing St. Louis, that chronicles the degradation of the city's building stock. It's available through Amy's site, as well as this weekends Rock 'n' Roll Craft Show. It's too big to stuff inside a stocking (unless you are Robert Waldrow) but is the perfect holiday gift for your favorite urbanist. Of course, I have to admit I'll be picking one up because the proceeds go to Old North St. Louis Restoration Group, the watchdogs of my beloved little nabe. —Stefene Russell
