Jim Peregrin of Green Rugs weaves a rug for a customer Wednesday, December 28, 2011, at Crestwood Court in St. Louis, MO. We're really spoiled being here, said Peregrin of the workshop space filled with looms and hanging handmade rugs. Artists and other small shops in the mall, including a dance studio, a vintage resale, a costume designer, a photography studio, and a paint-your-own ceramic store, among others, have been occupying the mall as part of ArtSpace, which encouraged occupancy with low rent prices. Now, some tenants are planning to close or leave after they received notice that their leases would not be renewed. Since they know the end is near, said Peregrin of some of the closed shops, they're just giving up...it's not that we're giving up, we just don't know what to do. He said rent prices for other malls, as well as other commercial spaces, is unaffordable to many small shops. Photo by Erik M. Lunsford elunsford@post-dispatch.com

Susan Halloran works on a ceramic wreath Wednesday, December 28, 2011, at the Ceramics & More pottery studio at Crestwood Court in St. Louis, MO. Behind Halloran, pictures from the last store before the studio moved in still remain. I'm sorry to see it goÉyet another transition, said Halloran of the closing store. The studio, which has its share of regular customers, will close on February 28, 2012. Artists and other small shops in the mall, including a dance studio, a vintage resale, a costume designer, a photography studio, a rug maker, among others, have been occupying the mall as part of ArtSpace, which encouraged occupancy with low rent prices. Now, some tenants are planning to close or leave after they received notice that their leases would not be renewed. Customers who paint regularly at the studio were upset, said Halloran. It's gotten to be somewhat of a community. Photo by Erik M. Lunsford elunsford@post-dispatch.com

Portrait of runner Jennie Schmitz who exercises in Vibram FiveFingers -- those funky sock-like shoes with individual toes -- taken Saturday, December 17, 2011, in Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park in Maryland Heights, Mo. Schmit has been running in them for the last 41/2 and wouldn't run in another pair of shoes. I went from running with a typical heel strike to a forefoot strike. My legs feel much stronger when I run, said Schmit. Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
