My pictures will begin to have more blue sky in them, hopefully. This photograph was taken from Vanderburgh Avenue, one of the shortest streets in St. Louis, showing the now vanished YMCA on South Grand. It will be replaced by an apartment building.
A Blog detailing the beauty of St. Louis architecture and the buildup of residue-or character-that accumulates over the course of time.
So sad to see this building being razed. As a teenager living on Castleman in the neighborhood, I frequented the YMCA for many of their fun activities.
When I married and had children we took them there for swimming lessons. Many great memories.
