ecology of absence

Old North St. Louis

We live in the neighborhood known as Old North St. Louis, and love the neighborhood. This is a place that has undergone some of the greatest devastation in the history of the city, and it continues to lose buildings. In the coming months, we will be creating a chronicle of the great changes taking place there, in which we are participating. Expect the documentation in this section to be more passionate and perhaps more thorough. Our lives are joined to the physical body of Old North St. Louis as we walk its streets, tend to its buildings and plow its soil. We are part of this place.

Please visit the website of the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group for presentation of the good things emerging here.
