Ferguson: officially a Hip Hood!

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's latest Hip Hood: Ferguson

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's latest Hip Hood: Ferguson

I’ve spent years pitching Ferguson stories to the local media, trying to convince them that something special was happening here, and finally, somebody got it!  St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Diane Toroian Keaggy has done an absolutely awesome job of capturing Joe Lonero, Mike Lonero and the many other people (characters one and all) who make Ferguson such a fun, interesting place. Thank you, Diane!

So much is happening in the city right now, it’s exciting to finally see everyone’s hard work coming to fruition. Check out the Ferguson Hip Hoods feature here, and don’t miss the video!

Ferguson: the Post’s latest Hip Hood

b_morganford0814You may have seen the “Hip Hoods” feature that reporter Diane Toroian Keaggy writes (and films) for the Post-Dispatch. It’s a spotlight on hip and upcoming neighborhoods, like Morgan Ford and Cherokee Street…and now, holy hallelujah, Ferguson!

That’s right, my swell little neck of the woods is finally getting some love. You can see the article, which will feature CORK Wine Bar, Ray Hill’s soon-to-open microbrewery, Cose Dolci bakery, and other local attractions, in the Friday, November 6th issue of the Post-Dispatch. Thank you, Diane!
