Had lunch with the Mayor
Mayor Slayor, that is.
This afternoon I attended a Leadership Lunch hosted by STL-boosters, Metropolis. It was an informative time. The Mayor spoke a bit about the issues facing St. Louis, what it’s like being Mayor, and about St. Louis’ standing compared with other cities. We do not, apparently, have it as bad as Baltimore, New Orleans, or Chicago in some respects - mostly the respects that have to do with educating the children.
Mayor Slay did also divulge an interesting tidbit or two about downtown. The first will be revealed in Friday’s post, and has to do with St. Louis Centre and its new management. The second has to do with the downtown Famous-Barr store becoming a Macy’s.
Also, the Mayor of Atlanta had a fundraiser here in St. Louis the other day. wow.
