A couple of years ago, The Riverfront Times awarded Cherokee Street with its Best Mile of St. Louis distinction. They were right then, and Cherokee continues to earn mentions in the RFT.
The Best of St. Louis 2010 Awards have been posted for this year and once again there are more than a couple of Cherokee-related honorees.
Congratulations are in order for the following awards:
Best Place for Belly Laugh: The Improv Trick
Best Art Gallery to Die in the Past Year: Boots Contemporary Art (sorry to see you go, Boots!)
Best Arts Organization: Sloup
Best New Band: Sleepy Kitty
Best Local Artist: Sarah Paulsen
Best Parade: People's Joy Parade on Cherokee Street
Best St. Louis-Inspired Wordplay: STL-Style
Best Junk Store: Cranky Yellow
Best New Club: 2720 Cherokee
Best Place to Slow Dance: Casa Loma Ballroom
Best Trend: "Up with the St. Louis music scene!" is the award recipient here -- with mentions of Foam and 2720 as fab places to hear and see music.
That is quite a lot of kick-assery, Cherokee art folk! Well done! (Hope I didn't miss anyone -- if I did please let me know in the comments!)
