Gateway Greening Planter

 

On Saturday, seven St. Louis Master Gardeners assisted Gateway Greening with completing the installation of the St. Louis Planter at Palladium Saint Louis by planting 220 creeping liriope at the base of the planter and applying leaf compost mulch.  The above photograph features the Master Gardeners in front of the completed planting.  

Many thanks to our friends at Gateway Greening and the wonderful volunteers who donated their time!!!

Curtain Call

In an effort to continually improve Palladium Saint Louis, we have installed a floor to ceiling acoustic curtain on the East wall. The “stage curtain” is aesthectically pleasing and also improves the acoustics in the building by absorbing sound. It can also darken the room to enhance A/V capabilities.

The other side of my brain {by liz}
April 23, 2010

I don’t get to use the other side of my brain all that often in this job. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing (I’m definitely not complaining!) but the other, more structured, logical side is always trying to find reasons to come out and play. A select few of you may know that before I decided to try and be artsy photographer girl, I managed to get myself a minor in Chemistry. I’m sure you see the relation! Any-who, I have since forgotten pretty much everything I ever learned of that discipline (sorry for the money down the tubes mom and dad!) but something must have stuck.

Last weekend I had the honor of shooting my cousin Niki and Ronnie’s wedding reception at Palladium St. Louis (photos to come in a week or two!) It’s a cool, new reception venue down near Soulard as part of the City Hospital redevelopment. And I thought to myself, I’m pretty sure Palladium is an element. And I was taking the below photo of the Palladium logo at the entrance when it hit me…

I wonder if all of those dots in the logo have anything to do with the electron shells corresponding with Palladium? So when I got home that night I looked it up and sure enough – they do! Quick science lesson – electrons float around the nucleus of an atom in shells. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, the next 8, and on and on. Now, let’s pull it all together. Below is a diagram of palladium’s electron shells.

See the resemblance? Props to the creator of the Palladium St. Louis logo for pulling science into a very nice modern logo design! I’m pretty proud of myself but I’m also positive I’m not the first to figure it out.
Ok, enough science for the day…back to non-linear creative thinking!

THE PALLADIUM ST. LOUIS MAKES ITS DEBUT WITH THE LANDMARK’S ASSOCIATION GALA

By Deb Peterson
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

DEB-U-DOS: The Palladium St. Louis at 1400 Park Place shone on Saturday night for its event debut, the 50th anniversary of the Landmarks Association of St. Louis.

With lights and valets and fireworks, the newly restored landmark – which was once the laundry building for the old General Hospital complex — put its stamp on the surrounding Lafayette Square neighborhood.

Chris Goodson, whose Gilded Age development renovated the space for Richard Nix Jr. and his company, Butler’s Pantry, was on hand to make sure things went right. John McGuire, director of development for Butler’s Pantry (and the eldest son of our beloved late colleague, John McGuire), made sure the first dishes out of the new kitchen met with the firm’s high standards.

With nearly 400 people on hand for the event, the room was spacious and airy and allowed for plenty of circulation, dancing and auction-item display. Jefferson Mansell, Landmarks topper, said the gala raised about $80,000 for the association’s education programs.

He said one of the items he most liked in the auction was a plane ride over St. Louis during which the passenger could get photos of many local landmarks. Mansell said the item, which was donated by Rick Klassen, was so popular that Klassen decided to donate it two times. Klassen is the pilot who will be taking up the highest bidders.

Landmarks board member Bill Schawacker, a driving force behind the gala, said he was thrilled with the celebration. Schawacker was there with his better half, Charlene Prost, former development reporter for the Post-Dispatch.

Spotted here and there in the room: Jill and Dan McGuire, Vince and Lois Schoemehl, Paul Ha, Philip Slein, Jim Schmidt, Sara and Gary Tetley, Walker Gaffney, Madeline Dames, Cileia Miranda-Yuen and Andrew Yuen, Pamela Kuehling, Monica McFee, Kelly and Andy Trivers (who was pretty puffed-up about the recent opening of sorts of the row of illuminated rooftop wind turbines he designed on the Delmar Loop); and event organizers Susan Barrett with Chris Poehler, Charles and Shirley Drury, Amrit and Amy Gill and Anne Stupp.

Palldium Saint Louis Gets a Planter

A 6’ diameter Parkway Edition of The St. Louis Planter was installed and decorated today as a “horn of plenty” at Palladium Saint Louis in preparation for the Palladium’s inaugural event this coming Saturday.   

Special thanks to the following who assisted with expediting this latest St. Louis Planter project in a very timely manner:

Horstmann Brothers Landscape Services/Jim Schulte for coordinating the construction of a concrete mounting pad by Mullen Concrete Contracting and today’s facilitation of transporting and placing the 2500 lb. planter.

Garden Heights Nursery of Richmond Heights for their generous donation of decorative pumpkins and ornamental kale.

Greenscape Gardens of Manchester for their generous donation of decorative pumpkins, gourds and ornamental kale.

Summit Produce and Nursery of Kirkwood Farmers Market for their generous donation of an extensive assortment of decorative gourds.

Next spring, a ground cover planting of creeping liriope will be planted to surround and soften the The St. Louis Planter’s mounting platform.
