If you have not seen A Single Man yet, make sure that you see it soon! You will love the main character's mid-century home that has the same mood as St. Louis' own Bernoudy homes. Check out this SITE for more information on this home.
If you want one like this in St. Louis click HERE for the Isadore Shank home that is on the market in Westwood Country Club Grounds.
Last night I went to The Nutcracker performed by our very own St. Louis Ballet. It was a fantastic performance and there are only two performances left. There is one at 3 PM and 7 PM this Tuesday. I would suggest the 7 PM since Miyako Yoshida from The Royal Ballet will be featured. This was also the first time that I had been to the Touhill....a great space. Find out more and get tickets HERE.
Whenever in Grand Center, I covet the Sun Theater and my mind starts to think of venues to put in it. Imagine if Lola van Ella had a regular night with her burlesque troop, another night magicians, drag performances....so many options! Read this article to find out about The Sun's varied past.
(Idea to talk about The Sun sparked from this BLOG.)
Do you remember the Fine Arts Theater on Delmar? I never went in, though when I was a child remember driving by it and understanding that that was the naughty theater. Now it is a Chinese Restaurant. Read more on The Mod Blog.

I saw Spring Awakening at the Fox last night and loved it. The storyline is dark and for those of you who have a tendency to blush...it has some risque scenes. The musics/songs are wonderful being performed by a cast with such strong voices. At the Fox through February 22nd.
