If you're like me you have probably wondered at some point: "Is there anything in St. Louis besides sports and the famous arch?"
Well, I can now answer that for you. The answer is "no". No, there is not.
The place is fairly clean. It's not ugly. The people are nice. But in the words of Frank Drebin "There's nothing to see here". Dad and I have walked, alone or together, all of the downtown area. There are hotels. There are restaurants in the hotels. There are office buildings and streets that seem way too big for the number of people using them. That's about it.
The pizza is bad. How do you make bad pizza you ask? Come here to find out. The secret? No mozarella cheese. A mix of other cheese that ends up tasting and looking like velveeta. Yuck.
There are museums that celebrate farming and exploration. There are churches that are ALMOST a hundred years old. There are "exciting" retail venues that are filled with nothing but t-shirt stores. Yawn.
The baseball and spending time with dad is great. That's all we're here for. Can't wait for the Anheuser Bush tour this afternoon and game 2 tonight. Until then will read my book and sip coffee.
