The new Target store in Midtown St. Louis is part of the Edwin project that has three of the six floors built which can be viewed by driving on Grand Avenue. The Target store is the anchor store for the Edwin development which is multi-mixed development with retail and apartments in same building.
Now that is convenience to have a Target store in your house or in the same building in this case. Is this “too good of a good thing” LOL. All kidding aside, I think this development is amazing, with a hint of avant-garde even.

Come on people. It is like someone saying, “Hey! I know, let’s build a Walmart and put apartments on top of it.” I like that idea too. But to say or think it…we all do that.
But these out-of-the-box geniuses not only thought about it, these people did it. All in fun…love you guys who ever you are. Keep building theses works of art.

No traffic on Market Street in Downtown St. Louis November 1, 2022.
I was visiting Downtown St. Louis on a Tuesday around 2:00 pm as was wondering where all the cars were. Is it due to people telecommuting or is there fewer jobs downtown. On a Sunday morning, downtown is desolate, but that is understandable. But on a work day in the afternoon in the heart of a major city, no.
No traffic on Washington Avenue in Downtown St. Louis November 1, 2022.
I took some random screen grabs while driving on Market Street, 4th Street and down Washington Avenue. And yes I probably favored the ones with the least cars showing to make a point. I had the lens on 70mm which can show about four blocks or four intersections in each image.
Where is all the cars on Market Street in Downtown St. Louis November 1, 2022.
I know decades ago downtown was sometimes gridlocked on these streets during the week, especially during rush hour. I think I am just getting too old to be doing this 🙂 I think I may have turned into my Grandmother in the last 10 years or so. 🙂

Bob Marley poster at Vintage Vinyl in University City on October 29, 2022.
Vintage Vinyl is the place to go when shopping for old posters on The Delmar Loop in University City, MO. Some of the posters included Bob Marley, The X-Files poster “I Want to Believe”, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcom X and Mile Davis to name a few. I know you can probably get these online but it was so cool to touch, feel, smell and see at the same time. When all the senses are activated at once, it is a thrill.
Miles Davis Poster at Vintage Vinyl on The Delmar Loop in University City on October 29, 2022.
I expected to see old records but I didn’t expect the cool vibe and feel when I walked into the door. It has a 60-70s feel with records from one end of the building to the other. In the late 70s there was a huge record store called Peaches and Vintage Vinyl resemble this but was even more real since Peaches was so commercial. And no I didn’t smell any pot LOL. But now that I am thinking about it, that would have been perfect 🙂
