Urban Affairs/Elaine Viets/206 pages

Elaine Viets, formerly of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, published this compilation of her columns over twenty years ago. Even though she abandoned her hometown for shadier (Washington D.C.) and ultimately warmer (Fort Lauderdale) climates, she's still one of my favorites. Her insights on St. Louisians (city and county residents alike) are still surprisingly valid. I admit I had one than a couple Laugh Out Loud moments. This blast from the past proves plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
