NEW YORK TIMES SHINES NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT
ON ST. LOUIS
New York Times writer Larry Friedman penned a wonderful article
on St. Louis published in the March 31st “Escapes” section of the
Times. St. Louis is the subject of the weekly full-page “36 hours”
feature, where a reporter visits a city and spends a day-and-a-half
moving from location to location.
Friedman takes the reader on a fast-paced “tour” of St. Louis, noting
that it has “undergone a remarkable transformation since 1972, when
the spectacular demolition of its high-rise Pruitt-Igoe housing
project became an indelible symbol of urban decline. Young professionals
drawn to new biotech and medical research industries, as well as
a new wave of immigrants from places like Bosnia, are bringing new
life to neighborhoods that last thrived a century ago. New loft
districts, old civic jewels and revitalized night life are making
the old refrain of “Meet Me in St. Louis” a welcome phrase again.”
The same edition of the Times also featured a piece on Saint Louis
Symphony Conductor David Robertson, in advance of the Symphony’s
playing Carnegie Hall.
CASTELLANO NAMED ONE OF MOST INFLUENTIAL
ACCOUNTING PRACTITIONERS

Task Force. Last year, he received the institute’s 2005 Gold Medal
for Distinguished Service. |
