The Times of Skinker Debaliviere November 1986 The TIMES SKINKER DEBALIVIERE VOL. 17, NO. 7 NOVEMBER 1986 FREE The oldest neighborhood newspaper in St. Louis New Bi-State . Facility Captures Spirit Of DeBaliviere Area When the new Bi-State DeBaliviere Station Garage opens next month at DeBaliviere and Delmar Boulevard in St. Louis, Mo., a dream will be realized to build a major transit facil- ity which blends into the rich fabric of one of St. Louis' best revitalized urban areas — the DeBaliviere neighborhood. The design for the $18 million building was created by Mackey & Associates, Inc., an architectural, planning, and interior design firm that has played a major role in designing the rebirth of St. Louis and the DeBaliviere Place neighborhood. When fully operational on Dec. 1, the 360,000 square foot facility at 560 DeBaliviere will accommodate more than 200 buses in Bi- State Development Agency's Transit System. The garage will be used for vehicle parking, bus maintenance, and routine repair. Al- though it will be in use twenty-four hours a day, peak traffic hours for the garage will be from 4 to 6 am. and 5 to 7 p.m. The structure also houses management offices, bus dis- patching, driver education, and training. It is Bi-State's third facility of its type in the StIouis metropolitan area. According to Ripley Rasmus, project designer for Mackey & Associates, the build- ing's unique design responds to the texture, detail, and scale of the surrounding urban neighborhood of brick low-rise residential and commercial structures. "Because we wanted to draw on a flavor of St. Louis masonry architecture, we selected two colors of brick with pre-cast copings, highlighted Report From The Alderman: with colorful glazed brick and terra cotta decorative detail," he reports.

And out of a grave in the Southland, At the just God's call and beck, Shall one man rise with fearless eyes And a rope about his neck. For men have swung from gallows Whose souls were white as snow. Not how they die or where, but why, Is what God's records show. And on that mighty ledger, Is writ Sam Davis' name-- For honor's sake he would not make A compromise with shame. The great world lay before him, For he was in his youth. With love of life young hearts are rife, But better he loved truth. He fought for his convictions, And when he stood at bay He would not flinch or stir one inch From honor's narrow way. They offered life and freedom If he would speak the word; In silent pride he gazed aside As one who had not heard. They argued, pleaded, threatened-- It was but wasted breath.

  • Metro-Owned Artwork Conditions Assessment Report
    Conditions Assessment Report for Metro-Owned Artworks This baseline condition assessment and history of Metro-owned public artworks was completed by Metro Arts during the summer and fall of 2017. The creation of such a master inventory and conditions assessment came as a recommendation in the Metro Public Art Community Investment Plan adopted in May 2017 and discussion with several Metro departments during 2016 when the Donated Artwork Policy was developed and adopted. Metro Arts is aware that there are ongoing maintenance challenges with public artworks found on Metro property. Often these works do not have a formal “owner” and they are not being cared for and oftentimes long-term neglect turns into major expense. Our department has cautioned against the city accepting donations of permanent artworks prior to considering the long-term cost and personnel implications of taking care of these assets. Questions about the extent and the condition of the Metro-owned public artwork collection also arose as Metro Parks and the Hillsboro-West End Neighborhood Association began to address the repairs needed at Pedro Silva’s iconic artwork Sea Serpents, known locally as The Dragon, in Fannie Mae Dees Park. This Executive Summary includes a brief description of the assessment and immediate recommendations for Metro-owned artworks1. A detailed inventory, which includes a brief history and description of the current condition of each, is included in the longer report. Starting from an existing Metro Arts database of Art in Public Places in Nashville-Davidson County, staff identified artworks on Metro property and visited these artworks to gather preliminary data.
