Knot is based in St. Louis, and some of our future issues might be about a particular place or space in St. Louis, and others might not. We are generally more interested in the city, but if a compelling issue or idea catches our eyes in the suburbs, we'll address that, too.<BR/><BR/>Knot is about urbanism and architecture. We like to keep the mission of the publication as wide open as possible. Basically, each issue will take an interdisciplinary look at a particular idea involving cities or buildings. The development of neighborhoods is definitely of interest to us, and if you have a suggestion of a particular place to look at, email us at knot [dot] editors [at] gmail. We would love to check it out. Each issue will be very brief (more like a brochure than a magazine. It is, at the moment, a small pet project for some friends and I), so we hadn't really considered doing a recurring feature. But, Seth, you raise an interesting idea that we will definitely talk more about. <BR/><BR/>I should mention, as well, that Knot is not a conventional publication. It will be free, it will not contain any advertising, and it will be distributed by being placed in public spaces (maybe even hidden). The hope is that people who might not seek it out a publication about architecture and urbanism will find it and enjoy it. Of course, anyone who wants to receive each issue can email us, and we will make sure that they get one.<BR/><BR/>If anyone would like to know more, feel free to email us at knot [dot] editors [at] gmail. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting about us, Rick!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767718187865210336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-16720265277352101952008-11-17T15:58:00.000-08:002008-11-17T15:58:00.000-08:00Hi Amy-Thanks for your note and the heads up...I t...Hi Amy-<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your note and the heads up...I thought there was an email address provided on the profile page. <BR/><BR/>There's one there now...rbonasch@sbcglobal.net.<BR/><BR/>Your book sounds great.

I wanted to let you know about a book I just published. It is called Disappearing St. Louis and it presents 55 color images I captured over a three-year period. They depict the poor conditions of homes, churches, and commercial buildings across the city in historic neighborhoods such as Old North St. Louis, Vandeventer, Fountain Park, Academy, JeffVanderLou, and Hyde Park.<BR/><BR/>I created this book because I wanted to bring greater awareness to the issues faced by the city in the hopes of bringing greater support to help solve them. As part of that goal, I have decided to donate all profits from the sale of my book to the Old North St. Louis Restoration Group.<BR/><BR/>If you'd like to help spread the word, would you consider mentioning the book on your site? You can learn more about it here (http://seeingstlouis.googlepages.com/about2).<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/><BR/>Amy Fontinelle<BR/>Seeing St. Louis<BR/>www.seeingstlouis.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14698828.post-76964376917398160532008-11-17T08:52:00.000-08:002008-11-17T08:52:00.000-08:00Rick, Will the magazine focus on St. Louis, or ...Rick,<BR/> Will the magazine focus on St. Louis, or are they just planning a St. Louis feature and looking for ideas? Since its and urban magazine I assume the majority would be about the City and inner-ring? I think a great reoccuring column would detail the revitalization and rebirth of the city one neighborhood at a time. When I ride my bike through the city I see developments in each. The grass roots sporadic redvelopment of St. Louis is what makes this city great. I am sure the neighborhood organizations and dedicated residents would have plenty of input for a weekly neighborhood article.Seth Teelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15306100279306432383noreply@blogger.com
