Thanks to alert Wellston Loop reader Maud Essen for sending me info about a new St. Louis documentary that’s out now and screening this weekend at Off Broadway, 3517 Lemp Avenue (Friday and Saturday nights, 7:00 both nights).
In Brick by Chance and Fortune, filmmaker Bill Streeter explores St. Louis’s rich brick history (yes! it has a rich brick history!) and the devastating impact brick thieves are having on the city, particularly in North St. Louis.
You can learn more about the film by reading this Post-Dispatch article.
This is one of those times I wish I were in St. Louis — so I could go see the film (with Maud!). Those of you who go: post a comment and tell the rest of us all about it.
