Baking. Take a class or two at Companion, grab Flour Water Salt Yeast and start practicing. Then start perfecting things you can make using lots of bread, like bread pudding, sandwiches, french toast casserole. Gift bread to friends.

If you are looking to get out of the house and avoid the cold darkness, try the art museum on Friday nights. Choose to do a slow walk of just a specific area. Here's some info about Slow Art which gives you a chance to see art in a new way. I'd suggest taking time to view 5 or so pieces and bring a journal with you. Go downstairs to the cafe or nearby after and write a little blurb about your experience with viewing. Write down any research you want to do, about styles or the artist or art history. Come back the next Friday and view the piece again, just for a minute or so. Then move on to this week's 5 pieces. Obviously this may be more difficult if you're in the county but you can choose the interval.

Look to your local library. They often have classes or speakers or other free programs. I know St. Louis Public Library even has a concert series.

Try Everyday Watercolor to learn to paint, or hand lettering or something else creative. You will spend some nights at home painting and then you can treat yourself to a visit to St. Louis Art Supply now and then to buy supplies and maybe read and chill in their new cafe/lounge space.

And good luck to you and your sobriety!

This is super awesome--thank you. I imagine there's a good chance you already read it if you're doing this project, but Mapping Decline by Colin Gordon (U of Iowa guy) is awesome. Highly recommended for a long-term perspective on how St. Louis changed in the 20th century, and the myriad causes.

StL Public libraries has it, and I'm sure WashU does as well. Keep up the good work!

They can't leave quick enough. I'm not a fan of publicly supporting stadiums and their owner's personal wealth.

worth a read.

The county library has a good (slightly dated) book on the VP organization called The St. Louis Veiled Prophet Celebration: Power on Parade, 1877-1995, if you're interested in learning more about it.

I question your perception of reality, though if you know of a respectable economic study that supports this sort of investment, I am open to learning something new.

Based on what? Intuition? Or actual scholarly inquiry into a complex economic subject? Because there's been a lot of the latter, and it doesn't usually come out looking good.

Here's a 500 page book on the subject one might choose to read.

Yep The Streets of St. Louis has an extensive history of most city and older county streets. And you're right that it only ever was Delmar and Morgan, only that some old maps and articles style it like "Del Mar".

I was going to respond, but I left my second sock puppet at home.. and I just know if I tell you that I'm going to use the single one as multiple actors it would be above you.

Instead, let me just offer what little help I can :

FYI, the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America has a note about this duck as there was a population imported into California that escaped.

Sounds like you have not read The Art of Biblical Narrative.

I'd consider this book a must-read

I highly recommend this book:
Architecture of the Private Streets of St. Louis: The Architects and the Houses They Designed Hardcover – November 1, 1987

So it's the Internet, where everyone's an expert on everything, but I'm actually an expert here, like for real. It's my job.

Of course I can't just tell you you're wrong and expect you to believe me, so here are multiple serious pieces that show (empirically) that you are incorrect:

Who is Guy Smith?

From his author page at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Shooting-Bull-Guy-Smith/dp/0983240701):
Guy Smith is a San Francisco-based writer, songwriter, political provo­cateur and resident wag.

To say Smith has led an eclectic life is akin to assuming that China is a little overpopulated. In various eras Smith has been a cowboy and a surfer (even on the same day), worked for NASA, held guru status in the computer industry and earned a dime as a marketing strategist. A Southern gent by birth and upbringing, Smith ambled from one coast to another, temporarily halting in Georgia, Florida, Virginia and California.

Politically speaking, Smith is a "lib­ertarian with a foreign policy." As a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, he claims to have genetically acquired a predisposition toward freedom and enforcing the same, primarily by dressing down politicians in the process. He is on record telling a former Congressman, "Once elected, you're my employee and my whipping boy."

Aside from writing both non-fiction and fiction, Smith contributes Op/Ed pieces to major metropolitan newspapers (San Francisco Chronicle and the Oakland Tribune among others). He has pub­lished hundreds of magazine articles and appears with appalling frequency on talk radio programs. He has been an invited presenter and speaker at multiple Gun Rights Policy Conferences and the Lib­ertarian Party national convention.

Smith is also the author of Gun Facts (GunFacts.info), the standard desk reference for debunking gun control myths which NRA News host Cam Edwards referred to as "indispensible." You can keep up with Smith's philosophical and comical observations at GuySmith.org.

Thanks for all these links. To be fair i'm coming from a Political Science perspective where implicit bias -- and unconcious "hot cognition" more generally -- has been incredibly important in understanding political behavior. See for example this foundational book or this well reviewed book .

I agree that the links between implicit biases and explicit action are messy and complicated. I also agree that we don't really know if we can train people out of them (and it's something that I'd like to read more about). But note that what I was reacting to was your statement that people don't even have implicit biases -- that is, there is not an pre-conscious process of cognition that shapes and biases our concious thoughts and behaviors. That is absolutely not true, and has been shown across tests that range far beyond Harvard's Project Implicit (which garners a lot of attention but is only a small corner of the research in this area).

Also just to say: we are on the same side here. The racial attitudes of many cops in this city is abhorrent and in terms of addressing the problem we need to get it right.

Edit (TL;DR); On the night of April 4, 1991, during a spring-break family vacation to St. Louis, Cummins's 19-year-old brother, Tom, and his two female cousins were attacked while walking on the abandoned Old Chain of Rocks Bridge. During the attack, the girls were raped; afterward, all three were pushed off the bridge by the four assailants. Tom survived; the girls did not. Cummins presents a mesmerizing, highly balanced memoir of the events, writing in the third person to give readers "an intimate knowledge of each facet of the story." She introduces her own family, referring to herself by her childhood nickname, and then does the same for each of the assailants, thoughtfully painting an in-depth portrait of each character without ever passing judgment. Moreover, she takes what could be cold, dry factual information from "court documents, police records, electronic media" and her own interviews and deftly weaves them into a compelling, novel-like account. She explores the family's initial horror over the police holding Tom as a suspect for this crime that made national headlines. (One of the attackers wound up with a 30-year plea; the others are currently on death row.) For someone so closely related to a crime victim to strike such a fine balance in chronicling it is a highly admirable feat. Cummins's noble account will ultimately draw readers into all sides of the story. 8 pages of photos not seen by PW.
