St. Louis Blues
So everyone knows about our strong blues heritage in music, and the namesake of our hockey team which dons the blue note. But did you know we sport quite a few structures that are painted blue. The occupants of these sky blue buildings include a church, a mortgage company, a florist, and what I believe is a former gas station. Check 'em out, and give me a shout in the comments section if you know of any others.

terrific as usual! it would have been fun to hear the discussions before that church was built ("Blue?" "The Cross is going to stick out where?"), must be some pretty brave and good folks at St. Andrew's.

St. Louis Blues and the picture from South Broadway from an earlier post have a very Jamaican feel, like sippng some rum punch.
BRAVO! Well done.
I've made mental note of ALL of the places pictured, meaning to do exactly what you did. But you've done it masterfully, so yours is The Word. Thank you!
there's a blue vacant building, possibly an old mechanics garage, on kingshighway near neosho. pretty.

What it should be is a place where I can go get a couple of fish tacos and a margarita.
