by Boyd Pickup & Jamie Leiendecker $19.99, DVD, approx. 48 min. Although the Mississippi has enjoyed the vast majority of notoriety in the St. Louis area, another river is nearly as well-known amongst St. Louisans. River Des Peres, as most would describe it, is a stream of sewage flowing through the city center. The reality is that this waterway was once a beautiful meandering river and once again could attain that distinction. The story of River Des Peres is one of beauty, contempt, and rebirth. |
