Wow- Lemme say first I didn't think there were many St. Louisans on HN. Thanks for sharing a bit about our growing startup community.

I've been in that building plenty of times- most recently for startup events- and the lobby + 13th floors definitely have a languished feel to them (12th floor has been better refurbished and has a lot more activity). I had absolutely no idea, though, the rest of building was so empty.

Quite a bit different from my childhood: that was the flagship downtown Famous-Barr department store . . . where they decorated the window displays every Christmas . . . getting nostalgic here.

*Ever been in the WU tunnels (not just the big one between Duncker & January halls)? Pretty expansive system right under students feet that most have no idea about :)

I've not been in the tunnels, but in my undergrad I spent a lot of time up on the roof of the library (I was the KWUR engineer and our transmitter rack and antenna lived on the roof). Pretty awesome view from up there.

The WU tunnels are great. Have you been in any of the caves under st louis? The one under Lemp Brewery is kind of amazing - http://trickykegstands.com/cherokeeCaveTour.html

I haven't been in the WU tunnels - they started arresting people for that. Plenty of rooftops, though. They use all Best locks here, including on padlocks, so they are practically unpickable.

what else are we going to do when snowed in all day aside from chat on HN?
