St. Louis Style

New Straub's Clarkson/Clayton Rds

I have always loved my Straub's in the CWE and Clayton.  It is easy to get in and out,the people are friendly and yummy samples are all over! I was out visiting a new listing in Wildwood over the weekend and had to pop into Straub's new store. It was huge, glamorous and a little empty of shoppers.

 

 

 

 

They have a bar in the store where you can grab a beer!

Schnuck's Culinaria Is Now Open Downtown

Over the weekend I went downtown to visit the new Schnuck's Culinaria downtown. I was busy snapping pictures and one of the employees looked at me and said, "Is this your first time in a grocery store?" With amenities like a market in walking distance from your living space, I can start to imagine living downtown.

 

 

City Garden Fun!

I popped by the City Garden yesterday with one of my sons.  He is 16 so did not take part in the fun the other kids were having. This is such a great attraction for downtown. What other sculpture park would let kids climb on everything?

 

 

Blue City Deli

I have been hearing about the Blue City Deli near Soulard for a while and yesterday finally made it down there for lunch. On Saturdays they have a band. Very yummy!

 

 

The Doors of Delmar

The other day I took a long walk going east from Hanley Road to 170. Notice that the styles of the doors span several decades of styles as you move West.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Old Post Office Plaza

Another exciting addition to downtown St. Louis that recently opened is the Old Post Office Plaza.  You keep thinking to yourself....am I in St.Louis or visiting some other city!

A bonus is the new Schnuck's due to also open near the Old Post office.

I think I could live downtown now.

That is the new Robert's Tower in the background...new residential living!

Downtown St. Louis- City Garden

Last night I was invited for a movie night at a friend's loft downtown.  I thought this may be an ideal time to check out the new City Garden. It was exciting and remarkable.  What a great addition to our vibrant city! We all need to thank the Gateway Foundation for making this project happen.

What to do today?.....Go Downtown

Wondering what to do today?  If I were you I would go downtown for a tour before the throngs of people for the All-star Game show up.  The City Gardens are now open and the city has gone out of its way to make sure that downtown is looking great! Hey...there is also a sidewalk sale!

Pride Parade

What a gorgeous day for a parade!  The annual Pride Parade traveled down Grand today....what a colorful celebration!
