Here's what it takes to be middle class in St. Louis

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:39:00 GMT

(The Hill) – What does it take to be middle class? Roughly $82,000 a year in household income in San Francisco, $74,000 in Seattle and $60,000 in Washington, D.C., a new study says, but only $24,000 in Cleveland. Researchers at SmartAsset, the consumer finance site, tabulated the low and high end of middle-class salaries in 100 large cities and every state.  The analysis adopts a Pew Research Center definition of middle class: Americans whose incomes range from two-thirds to two times the median household income. (Pew also offers a nifty “Are you in the American middle class?” income calculator.) By applying Pew’s multiplier to city and state medians, the SmartAsset report reveals an income spread that defines what it means to be middle class in different parts of the United States.  These airlines have lost, damaged the most luggage: data “America’s middle class has many different faces,” said Jaclyn DeJohn, managing editor of economic analysis at Sm...

Meet Abstract Painting Proponent Edwin Marcelin 

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:39:00 GMT

Edwin Marcelin is a thoughtful proponent of abstract painting’s power to act as a prompt, a boost, a gateway, and a spark of spiritual reconsideration within the black experience. A polymath with 30 years of exquisite design work and interests in fashion, photography, poetry, sculpture, and video, in his oil paintings Marcelin adeptly redeploys the language of modernist shape and color to hold space for new thought patterns and “the making of a black iconography.” His current show, Elevation: Abstract Meditations on Iconic Black Discipline, is now on view at 100 S. Grand in DTLA, presented by UNREPD—in a thrilling coincidence, concurrent with and adjacent to the landmark Basquiat: King Pleasure exhibition. Accompanying a suite of Marcelin’s sharp, fulsome, fleetingly figure-evoking, dynamic, and richly hued works on canvas is an affecting video installation that further demonstrates the need to get clear before beginning again.Edwin Marcelin: Meditations on Black Jesus No.2, 7...
