A DEEPER FOCUS
Until 2012, a tent city stood on the riverfront just north of the America's Center Convention Complex. Paul Crane stumbled upon it while taking photos and, after meeting with some of the residents, was inspired to tell their stories. The result is Living in Tents, a documentary streaming on Amazon and screening at the St. Louis International Film Festival in November. Crane shares his experiences about making the film in A New Lens.
WINE & DINE
Copia, a popular wine bar on Washington Avenue, has opened a second location in Clayton. With a club-like ambience and enormous wine list, the menu includes highlights like Watermelon Gazpacho Soup and Creole Whitefish Etouffee. Not sure whether to nosh or not? The full review is in On the Table.

This week, Robert Paster test drives the Maserati Levante S, a stylish and powerful SUV.  Curious about how it handles? The answer is in Driven.
