St. Louis pretty much has one spot where you can find graffiti. And, it’s like the king of graffiti wall. A huge spot down by the landing.

Jeremy Lawson always manages to find the perfect (and not to mention funny) graffiti spots. If you’re going for that urban feel – why not get a few shots next to that brightly colored brick wall?

I know, two “photography venue” posts in one week. But, the Midwest truly has some hidden gems that must be shared. Like the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois.
