I love to eat. I mean...

The Darkness Haunted House in Soulard is rated the top #2 haunt in the U.S. They recently sent me an invitation to a media preview and I didn't have to think twice. I love haunted houses. I find something strangel...

A Question For You

3:00 PM Sun, Sep 21, 2008 |

So I've had a couple people mention to me that they hate the term "The Lou." It was created by a newspaper journalist a few years ago and locals despise it. Supposedly anyway. What's your take?
