Riding High in STL
by honeybee1213 12.08.12I think a sky ride would be such a fun and unique new way of entertainment to add in the beautiful city of St. Louis. It would definitely draw in more tourists from across the world and more locals would come out to take there families or significant other around the city. I believe out of the ordinary ideas like this is what make cities so much more exciting!

The Wilt/Bloom Initiative : Garden Project
by Vincent Stemmler 12.01.12The Wilt/Bloom Initiative is a non-governmental organization which concerns itself with transforming vacant spaces into usable public spaces that serve the greater good. The projects under this title will mainly involve urban agriculture, vertical farming, and community gardening, but may also include hydroponic and aquaponic projects. We are interested, not only in informing the public about how to do these things, but with helping them hands on.
Summer in Forest Park
by Bill Winfrey 12.10.12This project involves taking advantage of St. Louis' greatest resource- Forest Park, and the free entertainment found within.

Angel Mom's over St. Louis
by Angel Mom's over St. Louis 04.10.13Do you know a Mother that has lost a child in the St. Louis Mo area? We started a private and secure group for Angel Mom's in the St. Louis area for those "Angel Mom's" that have lost a child. No matter how or when. NO parent should be forced to walk this journey alone! Angel Moms over St Louis and Abroad was started in the memory of Connor S Sher FoReVeR 17 and Marcus A Henson FoReVeR 25. We found that the parental bereavement resources in the St Louis area weren't that great. So we started one for the St Louis area and abroad. I'm currently marketing our group for sponsorship. We're planning an Angel Garden for our children. We're going to customize beautiful, personalized bricks sponsoring each child. Many parents have chose cremation and this also gives them a place to go on International Parental Bereavement Day, Mothers Day, or another place to lay ashes. We're going to start looking for property in Eureka - Pacific area. And at the meeting on Saturday, we're going to be discussing fund raisers like bake sales, car washes, and selling "Angel Moms over St Louis" items. If you would like to join our "privately secured group, please contact us. We are " Angel Mom's Surviving Together " We are willing to work with our sponsor's to raise funds in memory of children gone too soon <3<3<3<3
National Blues Museum
by National Blues Museum 02.18.13What if we could have an iconic music museum in St. Louis that celebrates the history of Blues, R&B, Rock 'n' Roll, Jazz, Ragtime -- you get the idea. The National Blues Museum would celebrate its namesake - Blues - as well all of the genres that sprang from its fruitful family tree. Plus it would be a celebration of St. Louis' role in the development of all modern American music. That's right -- we said Blues is the foundation of all modern American music, and St. Louis is one of the major cities responsible for making all of that beautiful music. The 23,000-square-foot National Blues Museum (NBM) in downtown St. Louis will offer an interactive experience that includes a mix of artifacts and technology-driven exhibits. This is not one of those “stuff-sits-behind-glass” kind of museums. Instead, visitors will immerse themselves in the past, present and future of the Blues and come away with a better understanding of the importance of the genre in the development of everything from Rock to Hip Hop. NBM will include a 150-person theater, highly interactive touch screen exhibits, a classroom, temporary exhibit hall for traveling exhibits, and educational programming that will include onsite and in-classroom opportunities to explore the history of Blues and its influence on American music. The museum will be located in the old Dillard’s building on Washington Avenue, now known as the Mercantile Exchange (MX) District. It's in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of the Gateway Arch, Lumière Place, America's Center convention complex, and Busch Stadium. And don’t worry about parking - there's a garage with 750 spaces right across the street, a surface lot behind it, metered parking on nearby streets and a MetroLink stop on the corner. We've got an amazing musical heritage in St. Louis. The musicians who played here are responsible for influencing artists and musicians around the world and we think it’s time for a museum that pays tribute to America’s most important musical art form.
Paint the Flood Wall!

Dog Park @ Forest Park
by pauleenyk 12.01.12Most major U.S. cities have large, accessible dog parks located in high-density, "walkable” neighborhoods and these parks contribute a great deal to the overall quality of life and morale of community residents. Forest Park boasts a great deal of outdoor space and much of the park land is not regularly used. Additionally, there is an abundance of parking available along park roads and the park is already one of the biggest destinations for families and people with an active lifestyle. All of these factors make Forest Park the ideal site for St. Louis City’s first large, state-of-the-art dog park. Dog parks add a great deal of value to a community. They are a place for residents to exercise and socialize their dogs, which positively affects the health of dogs and their owners. Dog parks also function as a social center for residents. Residents will frequently congregate at the dog park, where they can mingle with other residents and form new community ties. For some people, the dog park may be their primary source of daily contact with other human beings. Dog parks also encourage people to get out and stay active. St. Louis, on a social level, has developed the unfortunate reputation of being extremely cliquish and insular. The existence of a large, accessible, open-to-the-public dog park in a central landmark location will help to break residents out of their insular circles and facilitate positive, community-building, social interaction. Additionally, dog parks that are managed properly are a great source of revenue for the community and the City parks system. Through paid dog registrations, rule enforcement (fines), and the increase in visitors to Forest Park, the City can generate a positive fiscal return through proper marketing and oversight of the Forest Park Dog Park. St. Louis is in dire need of more community-focused activities that will bring a diverse range of residents together to share in their common interests. The Forest Park Dog Park is precisely the type of facility St. Louis needs to move forward as a more active, healthy, and united city.
