St. Louis, MO summarized
St. Louis' owes its semi-European vibe to its cultural and historical infrastructure. Any place, cosmopolitan at that, which is capable of producing the 20th century's greatest rockers and poets, namely Chuck Berry and T.S. Eliot, holds a lot of inspiration. Missouri's St. Louis hauls its considerable industrial strength from its formidable transportation - from steamboats to trains and air haulage. Nonetheless, St. Louis' stride has not always been an easy ride. The city has seen a remarkable turnaround from the nadir of the seventies, with tourist destinations sprawling on the riverfront's revitalized area. Visitors are welcomed by Laclede Landing's restored warehouses and the magnificent Gateway Arch. Try not to leave St. Louis without sampling the outlying quarters. Visit the Italian storefronts of the Hill or the jazz pubs of Soulard - and stay because of the city's famed barbecued spare ribs. The city reportedly leads the world in per capita consumption of barbecue sauce. Among the city's famed joints are Smoki O's, where the menu includes barbecue spaghetti, crispy snoot, and rib tips; Roper's Ribs, smoked over hickory and seasoned with a secret blend of spices; and Pappy's Smoke House, known for slow-smoked, dry-rubbed pork ribs.

Score

My mother is a Lifetime Member of the Botanical Garden where we had a private tour on Saturday and the zoo where we had a private brunch on Sunday. We also visited her childhood residence on Botanical Ave. Brought back some great memories. I personally authored the book "The Culver Brothers - The Unfortunate Truth" which deals with the lives of the Culver family, the Wrought Iron Range Company and the Majestic Manufacturing Company, two great stove manufacturers headquartered in St. Louis from 1874 to 1960. Brought back memories for me as well. Although I now live in Overland Park, KS; when asked where I'm from, the answer is always St. Louis.
