And, I don't know why it is that other places always seem so interesting, but I suspect it is one of the reasons I enjoy reading blogs from other parts of the country and the world.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-20207409180415540552011-06-12T15:14:37.672-05:002011-06-12T15:14:37.672-05:00What about Bob?? hehe to rehash a movie title.

But I would have been slightly intimidated turning around to a smoking hulk holding an empty beer bottle.<br /><br />I agree with your daughter, love the one building. I'm a sucker for the rounded rooms on those Victorian houses.<br /><br />I like gargoyles, but hadn't considered one as lawn art. Hmm...I have the perfect rock strewn area at the front of my house... :)<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-60968703086876309062011-06-10T13:16:09.610-05:002011-06-10T13:16:09.610-05:00Don't have anything meaningful to add but I do...Don't have anything meaningful to add but I do want to say I quite enjoyed this post.<br /><br />Why is it that Other Places always seem more interesting than Here?

I couldn't agree with you more about it ...Jack,<br />I couldn't agree with you more about it being a great story about these older buildings getting a new life. And, Bob was a delightful serendipity. My only disappointment was the gargoyle. As I mentioned to Brady, I'd really hoped for a better story than they ordered it online. Oh well, since the critter isn't a spout for water to run off a roof, I guess it is technically a grotesque anyway. Perhaps it is just as well that I didn't end up with a grotesque story to tell.<br /><br />Again Jack, thanks for your support. I do appreciate it very much,<br />~KeithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-52376900293497271872011-06-09T21:07:49.646-05:002011-06-09T21:07:49.646-05:00Brady,

I want to say the title, "I Had Hoped For A Better Story" is misleading. There can be no better story for any community than to see it's old buildings given new life and new purpose. Plus, It's nice to see you ioncorporatimg some of the local people in the story line.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-87777494704242817542011-06-02T18:36:08.081-05:002011-06-02T18:36:08.081-05:00Sometimes that's it, there just isn't a st...Sometimes that's it, there just isn't a story.

I liked it, but I think I failed to comment on it. Oh well.<br /><br />Your scoot is ideal for investigating neighborhoods. I look forward to seeing what you find.<br /><br />The murals are cool. There is a small town outside of the Metro area that bills itself as the "Mural City". That would be quite an adventure on Billie, but perhaps we'll give it a go later in the summer.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-68466119919850740992011-06-02T18:02:01.759-05:002011-06-02T18:02:01.759-05:00Keith ~ I loved old architecture too.

Well, that's true here in St. Louis as well. The City is half the size in once was. I suppose this is why it is precious to me whenever I see some of these treasures being renovated. Now, the trick is to get them back in use.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-911194013634936952011-06-02T06:06:06.513-05:002011-06-02T06:06:06.513-05:00Allen,
