More that two hundred supporters of Aldermanic President candidate Lewis Reed showed up at the incredible new Field School Lofts in the Central West End for a fundraiser Saturday night. Labels: BOA_President_Race
A partial list of those that attended: License Collector Mike McMillan, northside aldermen Dionne Flowers, Freeman Bosley, Sr., and Jeffrey Boyd, southside aldermen Steve Gregali and Kathy Hanrahan, midtown alderman Lyda Krewson with husband and Channel 5 reporter Mike Owens, Committeepeople Lucinda Frazer, Bev Buchheit, Norma Leggette, and Pat Cacchione, former Comptroller Virvus Jones, former alderman Kenny Jones, and former school board member Bill Haas.
As a side note, the 33-unit Field School Lofts were developed by husband and wife team Uan Nguyen and Sue Kuo-Nguyen and are a sight to behold. Walking through the building (even in its not-quite-finished state) inspires one to dream about what can be done with the large number of vacant public school buildings throughout the city, especially in north St. Louis.
We're sure the Nguyens would be happy to open the building to tours for any current or future School Board members that say SLPS should hold onto these buildings indefinitely or sell them to developers who plan to tear them down. There is clearly another option.

The Owens connection may have helped Shrewsbury win the Northside against Krewson, but no rehashed fuss from Jim this round will keep us from seeing whom we should back.

How is Mike Owens racist? Really, I don't know.

Just for the record, I was at the Lewis Reed fundraiser, but had just come from the Jim Shrewsbury one, since I have not taken a public position in the race, think my constituents can be are more than capable deciding for themselves, and as a maybe soon to be freshman alderman, the last thing I need at this point is to be making enemies. And I like both Jim and Lewis.
That having been said, I thought the food better at Jim's (maybe more on the 4th floor of Lewis's but didnt make it up there; too pricey for one, and just tired and time to go home to campaign the next day for the other), and for less money, too.
And the dancing may have gone on till dawn, but none on the second floor where I was from 8-9+. Lofts are beautiful, tho, and they're rentals, you know. $750-1500 maybe? hear ones on fourth floor magnicent; didnt make it up there. Again, out of my price range.
