Um... Have either of you actually ever been here?? It's not just an arch in the middle of a field. How about the Budweiser brewery (free tours, free beer)? How about the historic Soulard district? We've also got "The Hill" for fine dining, lots of convention centers, Gateway International Raceway, nearby scenic wineries, the St. Louis Zoo and St. Louis Science Center (two of the best), many huge casino's, nice hotels, St. Louis Union Station, The Muny in Forest Park (which would be in season in June), classic car museums, etc. etc. The point is, if you visit St. Louis and you only see the top of the arch, you are missing everything below. I'll go wherever the show is, but please don't criticize something you don't seem to know anything about. It's true that we don't have a beach... Jack, you could wade out in the muddy Mississip, but I wouldn't recommend it. :-) Jake Kamphoefner 1063 in beautiful downtown STL Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: .

Oh how the tide has turned. I keep seeing St. Louis mentioned, but I don't know why? I have heard some little things to see while there, but compared to past shows, it seems pretty lacking. I mean Cincy was first and easier for Ken, Cleveland had the Rock Hall of Fame, Memphis had Graceland, Pigeon Forge had Dollywood and the whole Gatlinburg area, and Gettysburg has a huge historical attraction. Chicago is a nice city, but nothing was pulling me there besides a weekend show, same with St. Louis - just a big ass arch. <snip> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
