Another view of the Gateway One building which replaced the Buder and Guaranty buildings in downtown St. Louis. Note the much better view of the Civil Courts Building now. The blue lights are relatively recent, and probably have something to do either with the hockey team or a certain W.C. Handy tune, both called "St. Louis Blues". You can't see the bottom of it, but the lighted windows in the building vaguely make up the shape of a quarter-note, the logo of the St. Louis Blues hockey podnik.
Having torn down most of its good buildings, St. Louis is reduced to playing elaborate visual puns with the ones that remain. They'll probably tear down the Civil Courts Building before long, citing earthquake damage or something. I've already heard that the Civil Courts are threatening to move to Houston unless St. Louis builds them a new building with more luxury boxes.
