Bistro gets new neighbor, finally

If you're headed down to Jazz at the Bistro for Pyeng Threadgill or any other future shows, you should be aware that the competition for on-street parking spots east of Grand is likely to be considerably greater from now on.

That's because the rock club Creepy Crawl has finally completed its move from downtown on North Tucker to 3624 Washington Ave., a few doors east of the Bistro. While it's good to have another active tenant in the Grand Center district - espeically one occupying a building that's stood vacant for several years - it is going to make it even harder to find that elusive free parking. Such is the cost of progress, I guess. For more, STLtoday has a brief story about the move here.
