From nothing, a street

A new Tucker Boulevard is taking shape!
View from one of the north-facing windows at 900 N. Tucker Blvd.

Here's where a street and the Interco Plaza used to be.

The scene at 900 N. Tucker

Soon, we'll be an island.

Officially, we are an island.

Hello, kitty

Meow meow beautiful meow.

Not an island

How tropical.

A say-something-hat day

Does anybody still wear a hat? Yes, apparently.

I'm trying to start the new year with a faster iPhone, so I'm clearing off and archiving some photos. I took this picture of some guys in funny hats at the Arch early this summer.

Cat-shaped wine!

I'm totes adding this to my shopping list for my next visit to Culinaria. And possibly for some holiday shopping.

Anybody know what these things are?

These robot-shaped things are all over the streets downtown. But why? Why??

Give your car longer, thicker lashes

I just spotted this car downtown and immediately declared it the Funniest Thing Ever.

A fabulous photo of the Fox

Just snapped this with Hipstamatic on my way out of the Best Steak House (yes, it really is).

Don't let this happen to you

Fried things!

Maybe it's just my Southeast Missouri roots showing, but I love fried foods. Fried chicken, fried potatoes, fried okra, fried squash, fried onions and — the best fried things of them all — fried pickles.

I bought some sliced dill pickles a few weeks ago with big plans to fry them, and tonight I decided to go for it. It's really not hard; it's just messy.

The results were amazing. Just for fun, I tossed in some onion rings. The recipe I used was from a 2004 Recipe Swap column by Susan McClanahan (the first one) in the Southeast Missourian, where I once worked.
