The centre of Saint Louis is very harmonious. I stayed ther for five days, but most of them... working. What a pity!
I arrived at Saint Louis at night, among a rather intense traffic, and my first impressions in the morning were: marvellous.
After a calm photo tour at sunrise the second impression was: where is everybody?
Downtown seemed a beautiful but almost dead town, nothing like the lively place I was expecting.
Travelling further west, things became different, correcting the wrong initial idea.
But I was installed in downtown, and coming back I returned to the sensation of cold emptiness.
Until… the Cardinals.
Suddenly lots of people dressing red shirts converged to Bush stadium, and the neighbourhoods became a red town. For three successive days, baseball gave life to town. I almost decided to join the crowds and enter the stadium, but knowing nothing about that strange game, and aware of jet-lag that could make me fall asleep, I decided not to risk.
So… what did I keep from town? Well, I can’t summarise it. Maybe my tips give you an idea.

Your cover comment about the people are not downtown is as true when I lived there until 1993. There are a lot of nice sties to tour, and you made good comments and pictures. We go there this tomorrow for one week.
Nice St Louis pages. We visited dead of winter!! Looks nicer in summer.
Nice page of St. Louis. Bring back memories. Hope you can drop by St. Louis page for comparison. Cheers, SL
great page!
I enjoyed reading your thoughts about St. Louis. There really are some good restaurants there, sorry you missed them. Having to pay for the use of a ladder, is very unfriendly!
