A note from the editor:
There have been a number of events lately that conjour up memories of those beautiful days with Daniel... Mardi Gras, being one of them, as Daniel was a resident of New Orleans around 2001. I have also begun working at the justBIZ venture, which I beleive would have been a favorite hangout for Daniel, had it been available in those days.
"The 2-19 Miracle"
Daniel and I spent a lot of time talking about spirtuality, and I remember he told me things that lead me to beleive that not only could i find miracles, but that if i looked for it, i could find him intertwined in my life. "If things work out, we will still be friends" he said. Well, I think its time to tell the story of 2-19. Also the title of a Tom Waits song, Daniel insisted the song be included in this site developement, and has since then continuously made the 2-19 very conspicuous. When JP moved to its new midtown building, we had replaced all the windows but one, that had been misordered. On that last boarded-up window, the number 219. I also buy my daily coffee at Park ave Coffee, located at 1919 park. (and it always totals $2.19). MCCGSL purchased the facility at 1919 Broadway, and also had a significant development in financing recently, on 2-19-09, wheras the loan amount was reduced, bringing our monthly payment down nearly $2000/month. So I must admit, that I tend to notice the 2-19 quite often.
Much stress has surrounded my move to the justBIZ location (Emerson park metrolink station), and I have questioned, if I am supposed to be there, or how long it may last. But I will tell you that in my first three or four visits to the site, when i pulled into the parking lot, I would invariably park behind a car with the license plate "DANNY BOY", Illinois plate. Which I must only take as a simple way of knowing im on the right path. If you live in the St. Louis area, I invite you to stop by justBIZ. I am working towards having some of Daniels work exhibited on the site. (most likely very soon) I will be sure to send out an alert when that occurs.
Thanks to everyone for your ongoing support of DanielMcCree.Org!
