St Louis is sorta my second home-drove an inner city truck there for 3-4 years and have many fond memories.
Do the tourist thing--go to the brewery fer sure!! Grants farm--see the Clydesdales--the arch etc.
For a city its the finest kind.

Yes, go up the Arch. But don't if you are clastrophobic. The Bud Brewery is awesome. Catch a game at the Busch Stadium.

yeah i plan on taking the wife to the arch for sure, she has never been to st louis so it will be fun to take her to some of the cool places i have been. the one place i am really looking forward to is the city museum. that place is killer.
ps it was brought to my attention that i put the abbreviation for Michigan! so i will be in St Louis MO lol

I was a teenager while they were building the Arch, and it was a real confusing thing to a confused kid. I still don't really get it.. Fun ride though--just don't try to make sense of it.
Forrest Park is interesting--the site of the 1905 world fair--lotsa lakes, fountians, paddle boat rides, statues- museums--also the Zoo--Nice Snake house if ya gots kids-or kinda are one..
Tower Grove Park is interesting in the South part of town-- theres a big castle type tower there--usta be where the hippies hung out and smoked and drank Boones Farm N Ripple. I was a Ripple fan...
The area around the brewery is nice--usta always smell like a bakery from the beer making going on--the local corner bars only sold Bud N Blackjack--a 'mixed drink' was a little water in the BlackJack. **** hill was South a little, they always had street vendors there selling bread sticks, and old fat women in all black--Cherokee Strip was just West-- Nice blue collar/Union part of town--I was a Teamster, and that big yellow button opened all sortsa doors there..
North part of town and across the river into East St Louis usta not be tourist friendly. I was mugged on MLK by a gang of 10 year olds and they hijacked my truck--it was full of catalogs.. A crippled up Nam Vet/wino saved me--I had been paying him to watch my truck while I was unloading and it sure paid off. Ambulance wouldn't come into the neighborhood, so he called me a taxi to go to the ER.
Ah da good ole daze...
Great town --enjoy..
