Another in kinda-sorta North City

If you define North City to be "anything north of the great dividing line of Delmar Blvd" then yes, this is technically in North City, as it is just a few blocks north of Delmar. Hamilton and Clemens has a pair of dominoes (with colored dots, no less) in the fresh pavement that extends down Clemens. (Clemens has some once-beautiful houses by the way.)

Behold:

They were clear as day, too - should you decide to take a stroll. These dominoes have to be all over North City, I reckon. (spare me the bullshit, racist, prejudicial and deconstructive comments towards North City.) I wonder if we'll hit the 100 mark?

Stay tuned, brah.

Hampton and Bancroft, revisited

Yet another interesting development.

I have been through the intersection countless times, and have actually ALREADY found a domino embedded here. And yet, the pavement gods have seen fit to confound me further by allowing me to find another set in the very same intersection, though a different corner.

The first set, if you check the locations page at the top, is on the east side of Hampton, and south of Bancroft. Or in layman's terms, the "southeast corner." This newest set is on the southWEST corner, in front of the bank, only about a foot from the sidewalk.

This is only the second intersection that I have found to have more than one location - the first being at Arsenal and Kingshighway, where there are 3. WTF.

The fresh pavement extends into the StL Hills neighborhood as far back as I could see, so I'll have to do a little stealthy recon in the near future.

Also, stay tuned, as I may have learned about another set downtown, though I have yet to verify it - same goes for the location at Lindell and Grand. I'll keep you posted, so you should literally not move from your computer screen until further notice.

So they DO exist in North City!

I was in the car with some co-workers today, taking a short-cut/long-way (depending on how you look at it) back to the shop. My eagle-eyes spotted this set at the intersection of North Market and Parnell, in what would either be considered the St. Louis Place neighborhood, or the "JeffVanderLou" neighborhood. Either way, this is the farthest north I've yet found. Kinda tempts me to venture up there more often... But then I think twice - that place is just so saddening. Especially saddening is the near 100% decay in the St. Louis Place neighborhood - it is literally blocks and blocks of vacant, grassy lots, like an urban prairie. there isn't even rubble.

 Anyway, this one was a triple set.

I am counting this as #52.


I had been informed by a reader of a location at Grand and Lindell, however I visited that intersection and was unable to find them.I'll check it out again if I'm ever up that way, otherwise someone will have to give me proof.

Stay tuned.
