Today is Easter Monday. This holiday is best known to lots of schoolchildren across St Louis (and elsewhere) as another day off school (yay!). Once I was in an English class where the teacher handed out a sheet of redundant phrases and expressions (like now currently) that people often use. One of them was Easter Sunday, and the teacher was ( Read more... )

Last time it was the first Sunday after the first full moon of Spring, there was an Easter Lily to be seen here. There are pictures of lilies and stained glass from today, but in the end they did not become the picture of the day.

They've vaguely been talking about putting in a trolley line in the Loop. Thus far that's not happened, though there are now a couple on display, one here and one by the History Museum.
