Earlier this year we rolled out a feature called "The Lede." In it, we get an up close (sometimes literally) view of St. Louisans — what they're thinking or doing at a particular time on a particular day. (It's also the first thing you come across in our print edition.) The results are sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, always entertaining. And that was all thanks to the brilliant work of photographer Jarred Gastreich. He has since moved on to Chicago, but we just had to gather up his last few months' worth of in a stunning gallery. Click through to see what -- and who -- you might have missed along the way. (Catch up with Part 1 here.)
