The wonderful Matt Mourning of Dotage (one of my favorite urban blogs ever), has -- for some reason -- seen fit to link to Our Little Easy in his latest ( and ever-marvelous) post, despite my not-very-urgent posting schedule here. The two prior posts were actually typed and put up after the good folks at STLPechaKucha asked me to present, and I decided to present on Old North...and had nothing to offer up as URL except this pathetic little blog, and its handful of posts.
