MEMORIES OF ST. LOUIS: Do you remember standing around outside Ted Drewes with 200 others, having a concrete? How 'bout eating on The Hill or going to the beautiful Fox Theatre? Maybe your favorite thing to do was touring Anheiser-Busch. Did you ever attend their Beer School?
The Arch is the tallest monument in the U.S. Washington Monument would fit under it. Remember the 8 cars, each holding only 5 people that are 'almost' touching knees? Did you go to Magic House as a kid or are you taking your kids there, and to the zoo in Forest Park. it's one of the few zoos left that is free.
In September, the Energizer Bunny leads the hot air balloon race in Forest Park. Afterwards, we usually go to The Loop on Delmar, either to Fitz's or Blueberry Hill.
