This is Zaire - The Greater Ville

Zaire is one of the hundreds of New Homeless in STL City.
I met her two days ago while delivering to Larry's Corner. She was a block to the north on Lexington. Cold. I admired her firepit. Her apartment building was one block to the west and is now uninhabitable.

Mayor Spenser, get some city employees out there walking streets and doing outreach!

St Louis Noir - #256

My first memory looking at the smeared lights at night on the road after the rain. I was on my knees and my elbows were on the dashboard in the backseat of my dad's car. I was in love. The black puddles, the wavy light on the pavement, the rhythmic splashing from the car tires. The floating neon lights from the motels on 66 as we left the Ozarks.

Er...sorry

Smokin' hot with anger and giving Mah'mm the stink eye.

Bellie

Towards the end of her life she started wrapping herself around my head. It was a hug. I wouldn't move until she did and sometimes that was an hour.

Brilliant

Last century ingenuity. I should have bought it.

We Ready

Two members of The Trio are getting it all on while the Tall Man is busy working.

You are Dead to Me

Obsessed Much

Obsessed Much is also known as Jordan up the street. I found this on my car years ago while recovering from spondylodesia surgery. I was relearning how to walk upright and had a disabled parking spot.
On the bottom of her note is printed: Faith plants the seeds. Love makes it grow.

Pist gave me a Fish

For such a tall man I can't discern how he sees these creatures on the ground amongst the fallen leaves.

Making Bolos

Pist will hand me various thing as a challenge. Yesterday it was this piece of coral that I immediately saw as a bolo. The coral mounted on suede.
