Over the summer I went to Quebec City with my brother and sons. I think there was some festival going on, though the whole city was full of life. During the summer months they had nightly Cirque de Soleil performances under a highway overpass and light shows on an enormous grain elevator on the waterfront. I thought....why don't we do nightly light-shows on our grain elevators! The ones right in the CWE along 40/61. Instead of reminding drivers that they were in the corn-belt.....we could excite them and show them a progressive and forward St. Louis. I really am going to pursue this project. Yesterday I contacted the company that owns/operates the elevators. I will keep you updated on this project....I will need help and support when it looks like this could be a reality. Below are some pictures of the Quebec City elevators lite up.
This is an absolutely awesome idea! You've got my support. This would be a great addition to the CWE. Keep us posted.

I have also seen an article where an old grain silo was converted to a rock climbing gym. Not that I would ever use it but thought it was clever. Too much like climbing the rope in gym class.
