Here is my weekly list of fun things to do in and around the St. Louis area.

I have to tell you, I'm very sad I'm going to miss Jammin' At The Zoo this Wednesday night as I'll be out of town. I believe it's only held twice a year. I attended the last one with my coworker Erica Byfield. What a great time! A fantastic and inexpensive wine tasting and several stages of music se...

My friend Brian, an intern of mine when I worked in Cincinnati, recently came for a visit. He wanted to check out the Anheuser Busch brewery tour. While I'd been on the tour before, it was worth another trip.

Here is my weekly list of fun things to do in and around the St. Louis area.

Downtown restaurant week is this week. This looks really cool. There a few restaurants downtown that I've avoided because they're a little pricey. This week, I can go for $25 for 3 courses!

Parties In The Park is back this week in Clayton as well. I went to the one last month and really enjoy...

This is the last week of the Muny's season so if you wanted to check out a show, you better hurry! Also, if you haven't checked out the Sky Terrace at the Four Seasons, it's absolutely beautiful.
