Book Description
Now there is solid evidence that consumers will pay good money to live in single-family homes in new urbanist communities. The first book to examine the new urbanism from a housing market perspective, this study compares the sales transactions and characteristics of homes in four regionally diverse new urbanist developments with homes in nearby conventional neighborhoods. After accounting for site traits, housing characteristics, unit quality, neighborhood, and other market factors, the authors found that buyers were willing to pay a premium for homes in new urbanist communities. Ideal for convincing community groups, public officials, and lenders.
Book Description
In 1969, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville initiated a remarkable performing arts series called the Mississippi River Festival. Over 12 summer seasons, between 1969 and 1980, the festival presented 353 events showcasing performers in a variety of musical genres, including classical, chamber, vocal, ragtime, blues, folk, bluegrass, barbershop, country, and rock, as well as dance and theater. During those years, more than one million visitors flocked to the spacious Gyo Obata-designed campus in the countryside near St. Louis. The Mississippi River Festival began as a partnership promoting regional cooperation in the realm of the performing arts. Southern Illinois University Edwardsville invited the St. Louis Symphony to establish residence on campus and to offer a summer season. To host the symphony, the university created an outdoor concert venue within a natural amphitheater by installing a large circus tent, a stage and acoustic shell, and a sophisticated sound system. To appeal to the widest possible audience, the university included contemporary popular musicians in the series. The audacity of the undertaking, the charm of the venue, the popularity of the artists, the excellence of the performances, and the nostalgic memory of warm summer evenings have combined to endow the festival with legendary status among those who attended.

Mississippi River Festival Book.......2007-07-14
As a former employee there I was anxious to get this book and I was not disappointed when I did. LOTS of great memories rushed forth, the pictures of Skip Manley made me long to see the old man again, he always bought drinks. I wish she was still open, it was one of the best concert venues in North America and rock bands LOVED playing there as it had the only air conditioned outdoor stage in the world. Great home made food backstage for the bands too (courtesy Cindy Huckleberry and sisters.)
Bring back the memories.......2007-05-25
If you ever went to the Mississippi River Festival as a visitor, student, or worked there as an employee, you know what a special place it was. This book takes you back to that place in time from the minute you open it to the time you close it. It's filled with excellent photos showing the mant great performers, guests and other people who made it happen. If you were there, you know. If not, I'm sorry you missed out.
Memory Lane.......2007-03-08
While I purchased this book for an older sibling, I read & eyeballed through it prior to sending it to him. A deluge of fond memories engulfed me, and I reminisced happily about the many nights we spent at MRF.
Book Description
Though the city of St. Louis is located on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River, for the railroads, the St. Louis Gateway extends into Illinois, north and south along both sides of the river. Two factors conspired against St. Louis's aspiration to become the preeminent rail center of the 19th-century American Midwest: there was no bridge across the Mississippi, and Missouri's loyalty to the Union during the Civil War was suspect. Chicago beat out St. Louis to attain the region's top railroad billing. Fast forward to the 1970s, when the Gateway Arch, dedicated in 1968, redefined the St. Louis riverfront and when the St. Louis Union Station closed to rail service. The 1970s was a decade of railroad debuts—Burlington Northern, Illinois Central Gulf, Family Lines—and a decade of railroad demises—Rock Island and Frisco. It signaled the end of a century of rail domination of the American transportation scene.

Book Description
World War II threatened to ruin Major League Baseball. By 1945, over 500 major leaguers and 3,000 minor league prospects had been enlisted for the war effort, leaving a dearth of talent for the Big Leagues. The St. Louis Browns, like other AL and NL clubs, would be forced to fill holes in their roster with scrubsó4-F players (those dismissed from the military due to physical ailments), retired major leaguers, and youngsters not yet ready to leave the minors. But there were still some top level players to be had, and 1944 Browns manager Luke Sewell assembled the franchiseís most successful team ever, taking the St. Louis ball club to its first and only Fall Classic. ÝÝ
Customer Reviews:
Interesting and Detailed history of the 1944 Browns.......2005-11-22
This book is a very interesting and detailed history of the 1944 St. Louis Browns. It takes you game by game through the ups and downs of the team led by Manager Luke Sewell. There are numerous photographs of all of the players from that season. While it is very interesting to see how these guys made it though the season with injuries and wartime callups, it reads a little like an Encyclopedia. I found it hard to read for an extended period. I'd pick it up and read 8 or 10 pages, and then I was done for a while. Even so, I highly recommend this unique history of the Browns one and only AL championship season.
The definitive book on the 1944 Browns.......2004-08-26
This book has everything you wanted to know about the 1944 Browns and then some. Mr. Heller shows that the Browns were indeed a good team on their own and not just lucky because it was a war season. Even though I knew how the season turned out, the book still kept me in suspense! This is not just for St. Louis Brown fans, this is for *ALL* baseball fans.
the Browns come alive.......2004-07-09
Quite simply this book is an outstanding recollection of one of the most memorable teams in baseball history, the St Louis Browns. Heller takes the reader back to baseball during world war II introducing them to some of the classic players that made this lovable loser team American League Champions. It was a pleasure to read.

Book Description
On the afternoon of May 10, 1861, Army Captain Nathaniel Lyon marched out of the St. Louis Arsenal at the head of 7,000 Union Regulars and Volunteers to capture an encampment of nearly 700 reputed Confederate sympathizers at Camp Jackson on the western outskirts of St. Louis. It probably did not occur to him that he was embarking on a mission that would forever enshrine his name, and that of the Arsenal, in the annals of Civil War history. ÝÝIn words and images, St. Louis Arsenal: Armory of the West relates in detail the story of the Arsenal, from its founding in 1827 through its transition to cavalry post in 1872, then traces its new life and changing fortunes as the installation adapted its mission to meet the ever changing needs of the federal government. Such personalities as William Beaumont, Ulysses S. Grant, William Sherman, Robert E. Lee, Nathaniel Lyon, Daniel Frost, and many others who would claim a place in American military history once served at, or had dealings with, the St. Louis Arsenal.
Customer Reviews:
St. Louis Arsenal: Armory of the West.......2003-08-03
Mr. McGuire has really done his homework. His book is well written and informative. I would recommend it to any Civil War researcher. This book answered several question I had about Civil War weapons and the layout of the Arsenal.
St. Louis Arsenal.......2002-11-28
A very interesting book, containing many photos, maps and diagrams. I personally worked at the Arsenal when it was called the Aeronautical Chart & Information Center in the 1950s and 1960s, later Defense Mapping Agency and so can vouch for the book's accuracy.
Book Description
When St. Louisí Union Station opened to the public in 1894, nearly 10,000 people gathered to celebrate. What they saw rivaled famed stations in the East, with its barrel-vaulted ceiling, sweeping archways, and Tiffany stained-glass windows. Modeled after the walled city of Carcassone, France, Union Station was one of the busiest in the world during its heyday. Follow the history of this great architectural triumph from its original glory days through its demise and rebirth. ÝÝThe days of rail transportation come to life in more than 200 historic images, from steam engines hissing into the 11-acre train shed, to the perky smiles of the renowned ìHarvey Girls.î Union Station is also seen here as tens of thousands of passengers a day dwindled to mere hundreds. As the automobile and airplane gained momentum in the 1950s and 60s, railroading lost popularity and St. Louisí Union Station fell into disrepair and eventually closed. Now restored to its original splendor, Union Station is again a bustling center of urban entertainment and activity. ÝÝ
Book Description
St. Louis was a hotbed of baseball activity in the early 20th century. Two of baseball's great wars played out here—the rise of the American League and the rise and fall of the Federal League. No pennants flew over the city from 1900 to 1925, yet St. Louis teams were involved in a number of torrid pennant races. Here is the heyday of the St. Louis Browns and the emergence of the Cardinals, as well as a vibrant scene for semi-pro and black teams. The city had two of the greatest hitters in baseball history—George Sisler and Rogers Hornsby—and one of the game's most influential executives—Branch Rickey. Twenty-one members of the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown played baseball in St. Louis during these years. The author draws on more than 20 photo collections, with in-depth looks at an important yet overlooked era and the people who made it come alive.
Customer Reviews:
An Open Window to Baseball's Past.......2005-02-23
This is a thoroughly researched and well-written account of a
distant era in baseball history, and would be so even if it
didn't include so many fine photographs. Anyone with a real
interest in baseball's past will find this book informative.
I especially appreciated the depth of material concerning such
terrific but lesser-known ballplayers as Del Pratt, Urban
Shocker, Ken Williams, and Austin McHenry.
Well Worded!.......2005-01-30
Real baseball enthusiasts will find Mr. Steinberg's book more than just a compilation of photographs. That is not to say the photos, many rare and unique, are not a terrific way to bring baseball in St. Louis from 1900 to 1925 to vivid life. But each photo and each section is accompanied by a rich text that adds to a reader's enjoyment. I especially liked the photos and discussion of the important sports reporters and columnists of the day. It is unlikely anyone has highlighted them in this fashion before. So don't write this wonderfully researched and documented book off as merely a series of captioned photographs. It is clearly much, much more.
A Picture Book.......2004-10-21
SInce its called images of baseball, maybe I should have expected this, but the book is basicall just pictures of players with a paragraph next to the picture.
Book Description
In the 1860s, with bustling river traffic alive with boats and men, St. Louis was a picturesque river town. This was the St. Louis that Mark Twain, Edna Ferber, and T.S. Eliot wrote about: a town on the mysterious but profitable Mississippi. After the Civil War, profits from contracts with the Union and river trading brought increased wealth to the community. Prosperous residents were challenged to find land that could hold their prestigious mansions and gardens. Their eyes turned to the western section of the town, which in time became known as the Central West End.

Photos of a bygone age.......2003-02-11
My wife got this book because she's from St.Louis, though not from this neighborhood. It's a compilation of photos from the turn of the century and before, depicting mostly architecture of the neighborhood known as the Central West End, once a tony area where the city's wealthiest residents lived. While it was for a long time a slum, it's apparently undergoing a renovation, and hopefully will regain it's luster.
For those not familiar with the Images of America series, these are slim volumes (this one's 128 pages) with typically two photographs per page, and a small caption. There's sometimes an introduction of several paragraphs or a page or two at the beginning of the book, though in this one it's at the front and runs to only slightly more than one page. The focus is on the photos of the buildings of a bygone era, mansions, churches, government buildings and businesses, sometimes with quaint people standing in front of them looking sharp for the camera.
This book centers on the Central West End of St.Louis, a neighborhood that grew up in the late 1800's to accomodate the wealthy of the city who wished to avoid the riffraff. There's a large park in the center of the neighborhood, and the 1904 St.Louis World's Fair was held there. There's a whole chapter devoted to the Fair itself. There's also a chapter devoted to a tornado which devastated the neighborhood some years later, and several chapters devoted to the renovation efforts.
A book like this lives or dies by its photos. This book has some beautiful pictures of houses that used to belong to wealthy people, and some of relatively modest accomodations that housed once-famous people. Some of the captions are a bit erroneous or unhelpful, and one that shows a pair of kids riding a turtle is somewhat humorous. It says they're riding the turtle for fun, but their facial expressions say otherwise.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it makes me want to visit the area portrayed in the book.
