Visit Ferguson

Strange Folk Festival 2015-09-26 4 (Visit Ferguson)

Remember Ferguson?  It's the St. Louis suburb where a police officer killed an 18 year old black man on August 9, 2014, leading to massive unrest. You saw it on TV.

Just about every American city has this Where magazine with information about local attractions and lots of advertising. You find them in hotels, mostly. Looks like it has joined an effort to rehabilitate Ferguson's reputation (not that it ever had much of one around here. Maybe that's part of the problem). I find this ironic and not quite genuine. It won't change anything.

Found in Union Station.
