St. Louis, MO

 Saint Louis, MO. Where the Missouri and Mississippi River meet.

St. Louis Arch, The Gateway to the West.

Missouri the "Show Me State".

The "Home of the Blues"

Back in the days a major port on the Mississippi River.

St. Louis has a nice downtown, with lots of restaurants and bars, it reminds me of so many big cities in the US. The tourist areas are wonderful, but don't wander too far away. St. Louis has some rough neighbor hoods, in fact it makes the top list of the most dangerous cities :(.

Getting away from the city you will get the feel of the Midwest.
Flat lands, cornfields, no mountains, very calming.

    - What was number 1? Last I heard, it was Camden, NJ, which borders my hometown, Pennsauken.

    - Ever been to Kansas City? My aunt told me that place is terrible. The people are jerks and they purposely give you misleading directions if you ask for them.
