Anthony Tong, Out and About: The Metro Link
Through a visual commentary, this book examines St. Louis through the path of its local train system, the Metrolink. By observing the changing landscape from the east end to the west, passing through 28 stations, the Metrolink is not simply a transportation system, but displays the social issues the city of St. Louis face.
