St. Louis Post-Dispatch

That heart-stopping scene early in the film when her simple shower became deadly is the granddaddy of horror movies’ scary moments.

Grand Turk becomes notable cruise destination

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Let’s get one thing straight. Grand Turk isn’t part of Grand Cayman nor is it anywhere near Turkey.

Grand Turk is the capital of the Turks and Caicos islands, but there seems to be a lot of misunderstandings about this little island, which measures one and a half by seven miles.

Until 1962, few people had heard of the island. But it gained some prominence after John Glenn’s Friendship 7 Mercury spacecraft splashed down near the island following America’s first orbital flight.

The island remained an off-beat destination for many years. Even today, only eight of the 40 islands and cays are inhabited.

But Carnival Cruise Lines recently spearheaded an effort to build a new cruise terminal on the island, allowing larger ships to dock and creating a huge splash for tourism.

If you’re looking for an easy shopping excursion, then the terminal stores will meet your needs. But that’s…

Video: Morgan Ford’s entertainment surprises

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A couple of weeks ago, reporter Diane Toroian Keaggy and I worked on a story and video about Morgan Ford.

Sometimes, I’m skeptical about emerging spots, but I was impressed with this small entertainment district.

Three Monkeys has some of the best pizza around. I prefer it to the much heralded Pi in the Loop, though, Racanelli’s is still top dog on my list. And the Amsterdam Tavern is an enthusiastic, smoke-free spot to watch soccer games.

Check out the video above for more or watch our previous video on Cherokee Street.

Explore panoramic photos of the Citygarden: Voyage

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Voyage, 1999″ by Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005)

Among the themes that run through Folon’s work are the alienation of modern man in a world of new technology and the magical power of imagination. He was best known for his illustrations of Everyman depicted as a man dressed in a raincoat with a brimmed hat and a blank face. In Voyage, Everyman sits in a boat opposite a sleeping cat. It is impossible to tell which direction the boat is traveling. Everyman is about to embark on a voyage, but he is not the one rowing the boat. (Gateway Foundation)

Explore panoramic photos of the Citygarden: Zenit

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Zenit, 1999″ by Mimmo Paladino (b. 1948)

Mimmo Paladino is inspired by the art and artifacts of diverse cultures. He combines images drawn from mathematics, science and art, with ancient signs and symbols to create works of art that appear dreamlike and ambiguous. In Zenit, (or Zenith in English), Paladino has created a bronze sculpture of an elegant riderless horse. A geometric form that mathematicians call a sellated dodecahedron (a star-shaped form with twelve faces) appears to balance on one of its points on the horse’s back. (Gateway Foundation)
