Excellent choice! City Museum is a great place for kids and adults alike. There is nothing like it any place in the world. It's a marriage of mad genius and salvaged historic architecture of St. Louis.Originally Posted by Alan
It was built by Bob Cassilly, my neighbor, who was a maniac. He died the way he would have wanted to die, on his bulldozer (it turned over on him.) Throughout my neighborhood are archietectural replicas, near follies, designed by Bob.
I agree. My daughter and grandkids visited a couple of years ago and immediately started planning to return. This time she organized a group of her friends and their children who all went down as a caravan.

When our kids were younger we took a vacation to St. Louis. I really liked the Botanical Gardens. They had one of those sand areas that are "combed" into a beautiful pattern. We turned around and DS was playing in it. oops. But it was a beautiful place. Is it still nice?
That's in the Japanese Garden, which is very nice. Did you feed the coi when you were there? They kill me, those giant fish with their open mouths, big pigs of fish who expect everyone to feed them. Since you've been here they build a children's garden area, but I think it's ugly. The children's garden is the only thing I don't like at MO Botanical Gardens.

Haha.....Yes we fed the koi.
Further interesting news from Ferguson and interesting too for those who doubt the power of social media - turns out an officer was fired due to posting racial and inflammatory remarks on social media re the black community in Ferguson. Let that be a lesson to police everywhere - social media can flatten you and ruin your economic security if you step out of line. I'm grateful to see this termination though in my book there need to be many more and also of course large settlements as I've said before. But at least we've got one termination and one resignation at this point. Better than nothing. Rob
I have a friend from my seasonal days that went to this museum and he said it was incredible. Rob
what a shocking discovery for him, meanwhile everyone else IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD already knew that a decade ago: to be careful you put on social media because of employers (if your posting under your real name or pic anyway - aliases meh I don't think they are hiring the NSA ... If so oh well I guessFurther interesting news from Ferguson and interesting too for those who doubt the power of social media - turns out an officer was fired due to posting racial and inflammatory remarks on social media re the black community in Ferguson.

Trees don't grow on money
I agree ANM - this shows a marked lack of common sense on the part of the officer involved. It shows a police culture of belief of being immune from consequences of actions, too. I seem to see this as a recurring theme in Ferguson and I'm glad these people are slowly staring to get the sack. It can't happen soon enough and I truly hope this offer lost his pension as a result of this termination - imagine the terror this message would sent to officers nationwide? That could only be a positive development.

Maybe we can make things less scary for you:
