Love this little mansard which sits quite close to Interstate 70 in North City. I wish I knew more about it. Such a breath of fresh air in a neighborhood that's seen better days.
If this week's events leave you looking for a funny story, click on my tumblr for a picture of my husband with a giant tack stuck in his foot. He stepped on the tack while chasing (barefoot) the dog down the alley. That's got to be a sanitary item- giant tack of unknown origin in city alley. I tried to extricate the tack. No luck. It wouldn't budge. He went to Downtown Urgent Care where the tack was removed, the wound irrigated and his tetanus shot updated. Downtown Urgent Care gets high recommendations from us. Convenient, pleasant, good care.
He's also currently taking Cipro and Doxycycline. This means he will also kill off any Rocky Mountain spotted fever, lyme disease, chlamydia, elaphantiasis, bubonic plague, anthrax and malaria.
Today's badmansard lesson- City of St. Louis alleys are places to wear shoes.
