Steve Patterson is reporting that Brian Marston will be leading Metropolis St. Louis on a pub crawl in the northside's Ville neighborhood on Thursday, February 9.
The Ville has been in the news recently with the announcement that the board of directors of the Annie Malone Center had voted to move the nearly 100 year-old May Day parade out of north St. Louis. Marston told PUB DEF that he thinks the parade should stay put. "I think it's a horrible mistake to move the Annie Malone parade away from its rightful home," he said.
Metropolis is an organization whose stated mission is to create and promote an environment in the City of St. Louis that attracts and retains young people. Each week, the organization has events around the city. One of their highest profile events in the past has been their weekly pub crawl, called "The Walk", in which they select a different part of town to travel from bar to bar.
Metropolis has been criticized in the past for not being reflective of the city's population and for having a membership that is not necessarily "young."
Perhaps with next week's event, Metropolis is walking in the right direction to reverse that image (I couldn't resist). The organization is also seeking candidates to fill openings on it's board of directors.
