Moonlight Ramble Shines Spotlight on Mullanphy Emigrant Home

NewsChannel 5’s “Today in St. Louis” aired a story this morning on Hostelling International’s annual Moonlight Ramble bike ride (scheduled for tomorrow night), and used the occasion to put in a few plugs for the Mullanphy Emigrant Home.   You can view the whole story online, by clicking on this link.  Mark Cockson, executive director of Hostelling International-Gateway Council, told reporter Heidi Glaus that proceeds from this year’s Moonlight Ramble would help pay for a feasibility study on the development of world class hostel at the Mullanphy building.  To register online or to find out more about the ride, which typically draws more than 10,000 riders for the middle of the night event, visit the Moonlight Ramble website.

Scenes from National Night Out in Old North

We got swamped with some other business lately and forgot to post these pictures from almost two weeks ago.  On the evening of August 4th, Old North residents fromMonroe up to Branch took to the streets to celebrate community and thank the officers and firefighters who keep the neighborhood safe.  The following photos are from the National Night Out party at N. 14th Street and North Market.

Meanwhile, the party on 19th Street was a little harder to capture since the ONSLRG office camera had trouble with the focus as the sun went down… but take our word for it that the group there enjoyed good company and kept the celebration going well after dark.

 Click HERE to see some photos from last year, as referred to above.
