Walk the Line

Personal narrative.

 

“It was a sunny Tuesday in November when the traffic became so backed up on the parkway that police had shown up to help direct the flow of cars leaving and entering the parking lot. Inside, a line snaked throughout the entire building—a line with a wait time that grew to be about four hours as the day went on.

At the front of the line, the reason behind the traffic and hundreds of people: the casket of a humble construction worker. It was the casket of a man many knew as Leo; the casket of the one I knew as Grandpa.

An Ode to St. Louis Sports

From looking at my social media profiles, you probably couldn’t tell I’m a twenty-something seeking a job in content and media.

I think social media is great. I think social media is powerful. I think sharing is wonderful. I’m just not personally looking to grow an audience. I’m not following a strategy; I’m following a whim.

Between pictures of my dogs, you’ll occasionally find rambly, editorial-esque thoughts taken from my Notes app.

Here’s one of those.

 

“I had a lot of time to think as I sewed these things, and at the end of the day, you know what I think that St. Louis is actually good at? Better than being a sports town??

Being your hype-man. (Err...hype city?)

Love it or hate it, call us stubborn, call us loyal, call us 'the Lou.' We’re not perfect, but give us something to stand behind, and we dig our f*cking heels in.”
