about the restoration of the Sun Theater, but says Kirchherr’s history segments are among her favorites.

Producer Ruth Ezell, who now hosts the series, insists all Living St. Louis stories are her favorites, although one category stands above the rest: “wonderful, talented young people with lots of promise.” She adds, “Three LSL stories that immediately come to mind are the Kirkwood High School Orchestra when they travelled to New York City to perform at Carnegie Hall, the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra on its 40th anniversary, and the Cotton Club tap dance group featuring three young men who are graduates of Central Visual and Performing Arts High School.”
Watching Nine Network programs when it’s most convenient for you just got easier than ever. In October, full-length episodes and clips from PBS and Nine Network programs became available to Xbox
Individual Living St. Louis segments can easily be found on nineNet.org and YouTube, and Nine regularly receives notes from people around the world commenting on stories they saw online. Murphy muses about the series’ longterm impact on the region. “We’ve been documenting many aspects of life in St. Louis every week for 10 years,” he says. “Wouldn’t it be neat to find something that comprehensive from the 1920s? And isn’t it fascinating to imagine that someday, in 30 or 40 years, a producer will rediscover our record of living in St. Louis?”
