Veedubb's Gallery. Welcome! :: Around St. Louis

One thing I wanted to do before I moved to Seattle was snap some pics of the area before they changed too much. Well, I waited a little too long and progress has slowly started to change the face of the downtown St. Louis.

Washington Ave has completely changed. What used to be a rough-around-the-edges club district now sports upscale cafe's , boutiques, lofts, and pubs. Thankfully the old buildings were left in place so the architecture and old-town flavor still comes through.

The older buildings hold quite a few memories... We spent few late nights (mornings?) in these old warehouses. These buildings housed some of the greatest parties of the St. Louis electronic music scene.

The last photos are from the flood wall down by the Mississippi river. St. Louis allows local artists to come down here and paint to their heart's content. This goes on much much longer then I shot, but we only had so much time available.

The entrance to the Monkey Bar/Cheetah night club. This was Jeff's first resident location (Wednesday and Friday nights). I ended up doing the lights for his evenings and then took over on Friday's and Saturdays for Rob Lemmon after Jeff left for the Navy.

To celebrate the final episode of Seinfeld, the City of St. Louis shut down Tucker and broadcasted the final episode on the side of this building. It was a great experience highlighted by Tim and Bridgette's visit to St. Louis.

We partied on the top floor here, way before it became a museum (1993/94).
