Mother/daughter duo Claudette and Melody Walker, bundled up against the unseasonably cool weather, are shown as they head out for Local Social events and gallery openings last Friday evening. Musician Billy Barnett, above right, entertained alongside The World Chess Hall of Fame, 4652 Maryland Avenue.
Evangeline's Bistro & Music Hall, 512 N. Euclid, brought in entertainers from New Orleans and Memphis as well as St. Louis for the night's festivities.
It was impossible to detect the slightest sign of life from living statue, the Silver Lady (not to be confused with the shop of the same name on McPherson), shown here alongside Left Bank Books. Musician Mango Jay is visible playing a steel drum in the background.
Acoustic duo Irie Sun performed near the Maryland Plaza fountain, above.
