"Finally! A Locally Produced Guidebook to St. Louis, By and For St. Louisans, Neighborhood By Neighborhood" is as detailed as the title is long. Given that the Beacon has a connection to the book, we decided to treat it differently and have a relative newcomer (not a St. Louisan) check it out.
He will be in St. Louis to read from "Shards," sign copies of the book, and discuss his work and experiences. He fled Tuzla, ending up in Los Angeles; but he didn't really escape, as he began to all apart from the post-traumatic stress. The book reflects his experience.

'The Road Show' improv
Brent Jones | St. Louis Beacon
This Saturday was the debut of a new show by The Improv Shop that will bring out of town improv teams to St. Louis to play for — and with — a local audience. The Road Show brought teams "Everybody Grok" and "Felt" from Chicago.
We talked to Eric Christensen, producer of the Road Show and member of local improv team "Ted Dangerous"; Katie Nunn, member of "Ted Dangerous" and improv coach; and Melanie Penn and Ranjan Khan, members of local teams "Melanj" and "Magic Ratio"; about the St. Louis improv scene and why it's important to welcome teams from other cities to perform here.
