We love sharing some of our favorite links with you so much we couldn’t wait for it earlier this week. But while these links would have to wait, let that not detract from great work from some of our favorite local blogs. For those of you taking a lazy sunday, here’s some links with your coffee when you wake up in the late afternoon.

Seems like everyone is playing blog games these days. PubDef.net challenged us fill in the caption between Mayors Bloomberg and Slay, and Dividing by Zero keeps giving us a monday mystery mix/podcast that keeps us guessing the tracklisting.
Imagine St. Louis without the Arch. BrickCity helps us visualize this idea, which raises more questions about how we use public space. As they say, “if your town doesn’t have one, it sucks to be you”.
KDHX finally redesigned their website, but they could use your help.
File under “new to us”, even if you’ve read them before: I Foreign I offers original weekly comics, StlComics.com organizes our comic collections, and of course It is what it is (speaks for itself).
It’s dirty week over on LoFiSTL.com, which means we finally get to see some video from the Blowfly show we made a photo essay of for you.
In this age of high-end video blogs, it’s comforting to see the return of humble photo bloging. This is probably a good opportunity to thank our friends on FlickR (I’ve made quite a few lately), especially PrettyWarSTL whose photo blog helps us rediscover the city with every click.
Psst, the Xmas in July mixtape will cease to be downloadable sometime on Tuesday morning. Just Saying…
We noticed some of you rely on the RFT’s concert lists, and while we reference it as well, you needn’t wait a week for concert updates (or scour the still difficult to use KDHX concert calendar). You ought to check out some of the local music blogs (we link the few we know), Last.FM’s events feature (which will refer relevant shows in town based on your listening habits), and of course Upcoming which will help you find what your friends are doing and mark your online calendar accordingly.
And of course we’ve followed the Urban League in town this week, but KWMU can help you play catch up. Hey Steve, that’s our friend you’re talking to that same day.

I agree that the riverfront itself isn’t very interesting. . .but I like the Arch.
It’s art, and art on display should be beautiful (in my opinion), or at least pleasant to look at. The Arch qualifies. Plus, it’s so American for it to evoke thoughts of expansion and great achievement.
Instead of imagining what could or should have been done with that same space, I’ll think of the Arch as a beginning of what St. Louis will one day look like.

and I don’t like that mandatory early childhood education thang. . .

ta-da!
