Chinese food with a side of weave

Another messy weave explosion on North Tucker Boulevard — this one in front of Chinese Express.

Another weave on North Tucker Boulevard

We've come to a horrible realization: When North Tucker Boulevard is closed for demolition and reconstruction, weave hunting could suffer. What will become of all those weaves that presently find their way to Tucker? Will another part of the city emerge as the new Weave Hotspot?

Only time will tell.

Until then, enjoy this run-of-the-mill weave from North Tucker.

This weave's grip is amazing

More than a month ago, on Sept. 14, I shared this weave with you, on North Tucker Boulevard at Gay Street downtown.

Would you believe, more than a month later, it's still clinging to the pavement? True story. I've been monitoring it daily, but I wanted to wait until it had reached a worthy anniversary. (It's the journalist in me. WEAVE WATCH: ONE MONTH LATER.)

Too much hair for one day

I had barely finished taking the previous two photos before I stumbled across these two fine specimens today, at North Tucker Boulevard and Gay Street downtown.

Two-part downtown weave

Yesterday, as I was enjoying the first-day success of this new blog venture, I wondered aloud if, now that I had a whole blog to sustain, the weave well in St. Louis would suddenly run dry.

Today I have renewed faith.

Behold, these discarded weaves, found within a few feet of each other at North Tucker Boulevard and Linden Street, one of my most fruitful locations for hair sightings.

Alert-reader downtown weave

My friend and colleague Evan sent me this lovely weave he spotted today at Washington Avenue and Tucker Boulevard downtown.

Have you spotted any wayward weaves? I wanna see!

All-Star Weekend weave

The area of North Tucker Boulevard between Washington Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard is prime real estate for weaves. There's a wig shop nearby — I guess when your weave's gotta go, it's gotta go.
