St Louis Was Cool
Wife and I took a trip to STL on Saturday and returned today. Man, I really like that place. Our hotel was a block from Bush Stadium, and the metro link. We took the train fromKC in business class....holy shit if I can ever travel somewhere by train within reason I'm doing it, thousand times Better than flying.
Only rented a car one day to go to Six Flags. It was ok I suppose.i still want to get to Cedar Point. Went to a game last night, and man...I thought the stadium kicked ass. Though, probably due to the market, everything was obscenely expensive. Though, I suppose if you're a winning team who draws 45k on a Tuesday night I guess you can charge whatever. 12oz draw of beer was $9.**** that. Didn't buy any. Hot dog and chips was 12 I believe. But the stadium was great. I really wonder if KC made the right call to not build a park downtown. We'll be going back maybe on a weekend to see a game on a Saturday and come back Sunday. Great time. Fun city. Didn't need a car whatsoever. Simple transit. Easy to understand. Everything we needed within walking distance. Go Royals. Lol |
Downtown baseball is the way to go. Especially in baseball heaven. If you like baseball memorabilia, go to Mike Shannon's right by Busch. It's expensive but it's got a lot of awesome baseball stuff and the food is good. Took dad there for Father's Day a few years back, got meet Shannon then bob Gibson .

Was cool to see some good baseball against the Cubs. Came down to basically the last out after a late inning and a half near comeback. We left the game afterwards,and were back in our hotel room in about 12 minutes. Awesome |
I despised St. Louis when I lived there, but I went back for a visit a year or so ago and it was pretty nice down in the Central West End.
And I agree completely on the train. Train travel is quite pleasant compared to any other option. |

I'm a Cards fan but honestly enjoy Kaufman as much as Busch and I really like Busch. Granted I only go when the Cards are playing the Royals so its always packed.
|
Yeah Kauffman definitely has its strengths. Sight lines one of them.
I would love them to just transplant it downtown. |

I'm obviously biased but te downtown setting in stl with the arch etc is awesome. I've got some awesome pics from last years NLCS |
I took a bunch of pics but haven't downloaded them yet. Hopefully tomorrow night
|
I'm sure some stl guys can tell you better, but hit up The Hill if you have a chance. Great Italian
|
Yeah. We heard about that. We didn't make it there or that Lacledes area. I heard the Italian on the hill is great as well
|
I really liked the new Busch when I was there a few years ago. Worlds better than that boring old circular dump they used to have.

Despite what many on here will tell you, St. Louis is a great town to visit.
