On this week's episode, Josh has the chance to catch up with Joe Edwards, the “Duke of Delmar”, who is the visionary and developer behind the Delmar Loop – one of the 10 greatest streets in America (per the American Planning Association 2007). Joe opened his first business – the iconic restaurant, Blueberry Hill – in 1972 with the hope of revitalizing a once popular high fashion district in St. Louis, MO. During the next 50+ years, Joe has added music venues, a hotel, additional restaurants, a bowling alley, and, most recently, a mini golf spot to the now bustling entertainment district. Josh and Joe discuss the early challenges, pushing all chips into the center of the table on multiple occasions and his optimistic vision for the future. #STL #DelmarLoop #minigolf #blueberryhill #renovation

Celeste Grayer Event Mgr Delmar Loop

Bernie Lee started working in restaurants as a teenager. He immigrated to the US from Malaysia and wanted to open a restaurant that reminded him of the fusion of flavors he grew up with. His first restaurant was 609 Lounge and Restaurant in the Delmar Loop, and then opened Hiro Asian Kitchen in Downtown. All of those experiences led him to eventually open Akar in Clayton. The tiny 12-seat restaurant is located on Wydown in what Lee describes as a “little magical corner.” We sat down with Lee to talk about cooking from the heart and the lessons he learned from his mother and grandmother. We talk about travel and menu inspiration and the joy of invoking a memory through food. Akar features elevated Malaysian cuisine and is open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner.

Kurt Bellon is the first to admit that starting your own business is tough. And nearly impossible without the support of friends and family. For him, it was his brothers and mom who helped get his Japanese sando pop up off the ground, including tracking down the little red fire truck he uses to serve up his food at pop-ups around town. He also couldn't do it without the support of the St. Louis restaurant community. We sat down with Kurt at Nudo House in the Delmar Loop, where he uses the kitchen for prep work, to talk all about Izumi. Izumi launched in 2020 in the height of the pandemic. A way to serve up beautiful Japanese creations in a quick, carryout model. From tonkatsu to strawberry sandos (yes strawberry!) Kurt shares what makes these simple creations unique to St. Louis.

From The Beatles to Bob Dylan, nearly every musical icon of the last 60 years has given credit to St. Louis native, Chuck Berry as being the pioneer of rock and roll music.

His later years included more than 200 monthly appearances at Blueberry Hill in the Delmar Loop neighborhood of St. Louis.

StitchCast Studio Special Edition: The WHY of MY City University City and The Delmar Loop Season II Episode XL Saint Louis Story Stitchers StitchCast Studio Special Edition: The WHY of MY City, is a series with conversations exploring St. Louis neighborhoods and Black culture. Author and historian John A Wright, Sr. joins St. Louis County Parks historian and author Esley Hamilton, Pastor Brent Roam from One Family Church and Stitchers Youth Council member Cali Fleming to uncover interesting facts about the history and importance of University City and the Delmar Loop. Recorded in Zoom in Saint Louis, Missouri, September 1, 2020. This episode is also available as a video featuring historic photographs on Youtube and Vimeo.

St.Louis native Brent Roam was working as a lawyer when he felt called to come back to his hometown and start a ministry near the neighborhood that his father was raised in. He’d heard about the white flight out of the city and into the suburbs that started in the 1960s after the Fair Housing Act was passed, but it seemed like something that happened years and years ago. Until one day when Brent was reading his housing covenants, and he realized that his home had been zoned a white-only home.Located in University City near the historic Delmar Loop, Brent’s church has a compassion-based approach to the housing problems that have affected generations of African-American families in St. Louis. He sees the housing discrimination as part of what caused the chronic problems of poverty, gangs, and crime, but he also thinks the solution lies in making homeownership possible for hardworking African-American families.From 1934-1962, 98% of all home loans in the U.S. were given to white families. This started a downward net wealth trend for Black families who were left out of homeownership for generations. Brent’s ministry, The Fam STL, provides housing solutions for people who are working, but who are still being shut out of homeownership. And because each family’s situation is unique, Brent’s ministry tailors their solutions to meet a family wherever they’re at and lift them up.Brent calls his approach “Responsibility irrespective of culpability”, and he shares a beautiful Good Samaritan analogy that really underscores how he sees his work. There is no perfect solution to housing discrimination. If this conversation had you asking yourself, “What can I do to help?”, Brent offers some solutions for how real estate investors can be part of a positive change, either in St. Louis or in their own cities.What's Inside:—Brent Roam thought that discrimination was something that happened in the past until he read the housing covenants for his own home and realized they were white-only covenants until 1993.—With an eye on building up his community, Brent’s ministry has taken on the historical problem of homeownership in the Black community.—How real estate investors can help give back in a way that’s a hand-up and not a handout.

Andrew Shih looked around his hometown of St. Louis and realized something was missing: a poke spot. They were all the rage on the coasts and around the country, but the diced chunks of raw fish dish hadn't found their way to the Midwest. Shih and his siblings, who come from a restaurant family, opened Poke Doke in 2017 in the Central West End neighborhood and it's been a huge hit. Four years later and even with the pandemic, they've found their groove, serving up fast-casual seafood in a fun way. Andrew says he's always looking for the next poke, the next food trend that hasn't reached the Midwest. But he says so much has changed in St. Louis over the last 10 years, there's something for everyone and he says he's proud to be a part of that ever-evolving food scene. You can find Poke Doke on Euclid in the CWE and in the Delmar Loop.

As a music producer for two decades, Orland Watson saw a void in the St. Louis restaurant scene: an upscale, sexy restaurant in the likes of those found in Miami and LA.

The COVID-19 pandemic threw a wrench in both the restaurant business and the music business and Watson says it will take creativity from every industry to survive. Watson joined us on the podcast to talk about navigating the waters of opening his first restaurant, his hopes for the future of the Delmar Loop and his advice for young entrepreneurs.

And like most Americans, gift buyers in the St. Louis region have countless options to choose from, both online and locally. But more and more people are choosing to put their discretionary dollars toward meaningful products — consumer goods that support a good cause. Julio Zegarra-Ballon, owner of Zee Bee Market, has been pleasantly surprised to see the growing appetite locally for fair trade and ethical shopping since opening his first brick-and-mortar outpost in the South Grand commercial district in 2014. The fair trade scene in St. Louis is still a relatively small one, and industry professionals including Alyson Miller, executive director of Partners for Just Trade, see plenty of room for more consumer education. In this episode, host Sarah Fenske talks with both Miller and Zegarra-Ballon. The conversation also includes comments from Patrice Estes, director of the mostly volunteer-run Plowsharing Crafts, which is headquartered in the Delmar Loop.

Each month, our partners at Sauce Magazine join us to hash out some of the top food and drink additions to the region. But 2019 has said its fair share of goodbyes to notable establishments in the St. Louis, from the tragic fire that shut down Goody Goody Diner to the closing of Piccione Pastry on the Delmar Loop after a seven-year run. Sauce’s managing editor Catherine Klene and artistic director Meera Nagarajan join the program to talk through some of the closings patrons miss most.

The Loop Trolley platform just outside the Pageant in the Delmar Loop was packed last Friday evening with people waiting to board. That hasn’t been a common sight in recent months following the launch of the controversial trolley, but on this particular night, something was different. Local comedian Yale Hollander was rolling out the first iteration of Laugh Tracks, a unique comedic combination in which attendees need only pay the $2 trolley fare for about 45 minutes of family-friendly standup while riding the nostalgic vehicle. He talks with host Sarah Fenske and with local developer and trolley booster Joe Edwards about the comedy, the trolley and more.

Trolleys were a part of everyone`s life, it`s how people got around until after the first quarter of the 20th century, most people didn`t have automobiles so trolley cars were how you got places.And by the beginning of the 20th century, you could take the trolley almost anywhere in St. Louis, with 350 miles of streetcar tracks criss crossing the city.Trolley cars did all kinds of other things. They delivered mail, there were mail trolley cars that distributed mail around the city, there were hearse trolley cars that carried the deceased to the cemeteries. There were party trolley cars that you could rent for a party or a picnic, there were trolley cars that delivered vegetables, so trolley cars served every function that trolley cars now serve.And now at the beginning of the 21st century, St. Louis is going back to the future with the planned Delmar Loop trolley.As the president of the loop trolley company, Dr. Archibald hopes the new streetcar line will demonstrate the convenience and environmental advantages additional streetcar lines could bring to St. Louis, just as they already have in other cities.For a lot of cities, I think trolleys are going to be a part of the transit mix going into the future.So why did they streetcars go away in the first place?Well, it`s a long story but the short answer is it was the result of a conspiracy by some of the big car and truck and oil companies; which together formed their own streetcar company, that went around buying up other street car companies and then closing them to eliminate the competition with the automotive industry.As Dr. Archibald puts it, streetcars did not have a natural death, they were assassinated.

Joining this conversation with executive producer Alex Heuer is Rachelle L’Ecuyer, executive director of the Delmar Loop. The segment also includes pre-recorded comments from passersby, business owners, a Loop Trolley rider and St. Louis University's Bob Lewis, who is an assistant professor of urban planning and development.

Episode 11 of Priced Out the Podcast is about the great city of St. Louis, MO. The city is a wonderful place with great people and a lot of new potential. There is new energy and growth going on, but the city has a long and troubling past and continues to be challenged by vast poverty, discrimination and neglect. We talk with two residents Rebeca Carlos, host of the podcast Explain to Me and artist and community activist Kevin Hopkins. We talk about the city's deep history of segregation, the Delmar Divide, the Riots of 1916, the poverty and abandonment of East Louis Louis and North St. Louis White Flight in Spanish Lakes and speculate if big property owners are playing games and driving down land values like they have done in Detroit. We also talk about the early signs of gentrification or "revitalization" in the Delmar Loop, Benton Park, South City the Grove and elsewhere. https://www.pricedoutmovie.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/priced-out-podcast/support

Hank Thompson hosts Collateral Damage once again while DJ Wilson is away. Guests this week are Rev. Dinah Tatman and Minister Donald Muhammad, leaders from the No Justice No Profits movement, a non-violent community action coalition seeking to gain equal justice under the law for African Americans across the St Louis community and, indeed, the world. Learn more about the movement here:  https://www.nojusticenoprofit.us Can a broad economic boycott of several major brands and economic centers like the Delmar Loop and the Galleria create the change that these religious leaders are calling for? Here's how the conversation went: 0:00-13:00 - Framing the boycott: "How can we redistribute that pain?" 13:00-25:00 - "A volcano has erupted..." People have been galvanized, how the boycott can guide their actions. 25:00-29:00 - Implementation of "No Justice No Profits" in the pews. 29:00-35:30 - Who's being boycotted, who should be supported, and why. "You're asking people to turn their backs on their universe," protests Thompson. "You have to give yourself justice," responds Muhammad. 35:30-42:30 - "What should the Galleria do?" asks Thompson. "These are your power brokers" who can change policies, explains Muhammad. 42:30-55:15 - Speaking to the white liberal/progressive and wrapping up. "This is not a 'hate-white' movement, this is a 'love black' movement." Rev. Tatman references a hit James Brown song with the lyrics, "I'm not looking for a handout. Just open the door, and I'll get it myself." Listen to it here.   Hank refers to an 'Andy' a handful of times in the course of the conversation, that would be KDHX volunteer engineer/producer, Andy Heaslet. You can catch guest host Hank Thompson on the air Sunday nights at 6pm on 88.7 WSIE. *Get well soon, DJ Wilson!*

In the long list of notable sports and pop-culture figures whose names are forever etched in St. Louis lore on the Walk of Fame in the Delmar Loop, names like Chuck Berry, Stan Musial, and Jackie Smith might come to mind for most people. At a ceremony on June 23rd, 2017, another name was added: St. Philippine Duchesne. In the second segment, Brian Miller joins the podcast to preview the upcoming Convocation of Catholic Leaders which will take place in Orlando, July 1-4, 2017.

Think about how we get around town, if stuff we want and need to get to is close enough to where we live, work, learn and play that we don't have to use a car to get there (or at least not all the time). If our neighborhoods feel lively, safe, healthy and productive. This is all part of the national movement called Smart Growth, practiced by community builders like Earthworms guests Dana Gray and Eric Friedman, who are both local champions of equity, sustainability, creativity and prosperity - for everyone in the St. Louis community where they live and work.               Smart Growth is a trend prompting economic, social and environmental benefits in many U.S. cities. In St. Louis, the concept has grown some good roots and sprouted in places like South Grand Boulevard, Washington Avenue downtown, the Delmar Loop and Old North St. Louis. Efforts of community-builders in many places are moving out town in smarter directions, at a pace we will define in positive terms as gathering steam. Evidence of this movement here is that the Local Government Commission is bringing their annual New Partners for Smart Growth national conference to The Lou from February 1-4. A special FREE day of Smart Growth skill-building and networking events has just been announced, DIY Great Cities on Wednesday February 1 - a scoop on this Earthworms podcast! YOU could become a Smart Growth advocate in your neighborhood, with benefits cycling directly, sustainably back to your family, friends, and neighbors. Check it out! Dana Gray is the Community Outreach Coordinator for the Tower Grove Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation. Eric Friedman is real estate and development professional, principal of The Friedman Group commercial real estate company, and founder of Housing and Community Solutions. Both have been instrumental in bringing National Partners for Smart Growth 2017 Conference to St. Louis.  Music: Cookie Mouth, performed live at KDHX by The Provels, January 2015.
