Summer Sketching begins

We met this morning before work at Old Post Office Plaza.  I had my doubts about this space when it was first constructed: stark white, hot, not a very people friendly space.  It’s come along quite a bit since then.  I’d give the City of St. Louis an “A” for effort – the addition of chairs with umbrellas goes a long way towards making the space a better place to sit and linger.  The trees are large enough now to offer some shade.  And the City has numerous free events scheduled – I love the idea of “chess Mondays”.

Another benefit – it’s only a block from Bob’s loft on Washington.  This morning we had Albie Mitchell from Confluence, Frank, Bob and myself.  Hope to visit this spot several times this summer!
