00:00 Welcome to Mostly Superheroes Friday Live

What happens when beloved neighborhood restaurants close — and what does that say about the future of community in St. Louis?

In this powerful Season 7 episode of Mostly Superheroes, Logan sits down with Steve Smith of The Royale and David Kirkland of Turn STL for an honest conversation about restaurant ownership, economic pressure, civic tension, and why “third spaces” matter more than ever.

Turn is closing its doors after nearly 8 years in Midtown. David shares what it really takes to run a restaurant — the hidden costs, pandemic survival, tariffs, food price increases, burnout, and what’s next as he relocates to Little Rock.

This episode goes deeper than hospitality.

• The reality of running an independent restaurant in 2026

What happens after you build a secret apartment inside a mall… get arrested… go viral globally… and then hit Netflix’s Top 10?

In this episode, we sit down with tape art pioneer Michael Townsend — the artist behind the secret mall apartment now featured in Secret Mall Apartment on Netflix — to unpack the full story.

But this isn’t just about the apartment.

It’s about:

The birth of tape art in 1989

A 500+ mural global movement

Why artists turned down Hollywood

The psychology of collaborative creativity

How leadership training predicts artistic ability

And the looming crisis that could end their signature blue tape forever

Michael shares the 17-year journey of protecting the story before filmmaker Jeremy Workman brought it to life — and what happened when it cracked the Netflix Top 10, competing with James Bond films.
