Levy Loop/38th Street Loop

I walked the Levy Loop this morning in 32:58.

This evening, starting at about 5:30 Central, I walked the 38th Street Loop in 24:44.

SENTENCE OF THE DAY from A Different Closet
St. Louis always appealed to Lance Dornfeld, staged as it was on the western edge of America’s first act of greatness, when urban factories and smokestacks and black-and-white photographs of a thousand men wearing gray suits and felt fedoras and black leather gloves, marching to run the world, combined to represent the essence of American might; it was like Manhattan's other midwestern and northern satellites—Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Detroit and Milwaukee, Cleveland and Cincinnati—now poised with their significance in varying degrees of decay, but hinged so firmly to the past that romance and sentimentality, nostalgia, secured for them present and future roles.
