Route 66: Day 9 – St. Louis is a Cool City
By JamesW on May 21, 2008 in Travel, Travel Blog
I’m into “vibs”, and even though we stopped in St. Louis for a few hours, I could tell this town had soul. Max took mucho pictures, so be sure to visit our Gallery. The center attraction is, of course, the Arch, which is way bigger than I had anticipated. The “Design Godess” will be bringing you interesting historic tidbits about the Arch, and St. Louis in general. All I can say is St. Louis looked very “liveable”, not anything I could or would say about very many American cities.
What can I say, I can see why KOAs stay in business and do reasonably well – they are everywhere, and always convenient to the weary traveler. This one was just south of St. Louis. Again, pleasant, clean, curtious employees, and relatively attractive sites. No grief about our dog Maggie here – laissez faire.

Just checked out your website today and found out you were in St. Louis – why didn’t you call??? I know, I know, you wanted family time but we haven’t seen you in 7 years. Yes, St. Louis is a very liable and ‘viby’ city. Come back and stay longer……..
