Been trying to get in touch with them to do some of that work myself but unrelatedly my roommate is there today as a pipefitter so they're trying, I can confirm that.

Slu let the dogs out? Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 a friend sent me a video tour of inside Humphrey's last week and it looks glorious. TVs were hung (and on) and it looks pretty close to being complete.

Now I'm just waiting on the return of Library Annex, the Juul of Midtown. Turning that place into a leasing office was the biggest downgrade for student night life in years, and that includes Humphrey’s closing. Was the late night spot everyone ended at regardless of where you were prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'm too young to know what that is, but what is that? At least I'm aware of the Billiken Bench Club which is where my parents would go in the late 80s/early 90s.

At least I'm aware of the Billiken Bench Club which is where my parents would go in the late 80s/early 90s. 20 North was on the corner of Vandeventer and Laclede. There were a couple businesses there along with the bar. It was owned by the lead singer of Jake's Leg, a grateful dead cover band, they were the house band. Biondi wanted that corner to create a huge art museum. None of the business owners wanted to sell. Biondi installed a crony into the alderman seat that represented the area and had him along with the mayor get the corner blighted and given to SLU under eminent domain, even though at the time the building was undergoing a total remodel. This all happened in the late 90s, so a bit before my time but I believe I got in this bar a couple times when I was 18 or 19. Biondi never built his art museum and the corner has just been a field with a fence around it for 20 years. Jake's Leg opened another bar farther west but it wasn't the same and closed soon after. Jake's Leg still performs, they have been a bar band for going on 45 years I think. BrettJollyComedyHour and SLU_Lax like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he, also, had another bar that was took in eminent domain as part of the new Busch Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we’ll see who wants the naming rights for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether this strategy works as they expect it to do or not, they thought it was worthwhile trying to get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
