You can find all of these attractions and more on a cool Google map that we've made just for you.
Adrienne Moore - The Loop on Delmar
Address: Delmar Blvd. in University City
Adrienne first came to our attention when we found her in a box along
The
Loop, about 6 blocks of hip
shops and eateries, including
the Fitz Root Beer brewery and Blueberry Hill, the locale for Chuck Berry's regular monthly performance.
She has since outgrown the box, but is still fairly small, and quite pleasant. You can often find her
at the Loop drum jam in the open market area on Saturday and Sunday afternoons or at the
impromptu brass group that jams out on Saturday afternoon/evening.
Charlie & Melissa Fuller - Schlafly Bottleworks or Tap Room
The Tap Room (Address: 2100 Locust Street at 21st) proudly holds the distinction of being the first brewpub in Missouri. Beer cheese soup and pretzel sticks so big even Charlie cannot put them in his nose. That's a big pretzel stick! Sometimes the sheer number of beer options available at this fine establishment makes him cry big manly tears.
Brewing and bottling delicious beer and serving great food in a unique,
non-smoking environment, Schlafly
Bottleworks (Address: 7260 Southwest Ave. at Manchester) is St. Louis's first new
production brewery since the end of Prohibition. The first cousin once removed from the Tap Room
Charlie is so fond of is like Melissa's cousin Lenny, who is to likely blame for the extra chromosome
Melissa is so often affected by on the tennis court. We all have challenges, don't we?
Be strong, little trooper!
Clay Hellman - Gateway Arch
Address: St. Louis Riverfront, St. Louis, MO 63102
At 630 feet, The Gateway
Arch is our nation's tallest manmade monument and has plenty of exciting
activities. Open daily. Winter hours:
9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Summer hours: 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. Clay often spends most of his hours there,
just stroking its shiny,
supple aluminum skin.
Damon Stone - Mirasol
Address: 6144 Delmar Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63112
Imagine you are a small item of food called "tapas" and there you are on a plate at Mirasol
and you look up and OMG IT'S DAMON STONE!!!!! How do you feel, how do you compose your Latin American aesthetic
to be worthy of his mouth? Think fast!
Danny Vianello - The St. Louis Zoo
Address: Forest Park
The Saint Louis Zoo is one of the best kept
zoos around, lots of animals (which is really not that strange for a zoo, but for some reason, we
will still mention it here). The best part of all…it's FREE! Danny was the champion of quadriplegic
Kangaroo boxing in the "Down Under" exhibit in 2006. Attaboy, Danny!
Emily Barr - Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tours
Address: I-55 & Arsenal St., St. Louis, MO 63118
Budweiser Tours include the
historic Brewhouse, Budweiser Clydesdale stables, lager cellar, packaging
plant, hospitality room and Bud World gift shop. Open daily. The FREE tours have beer samples and everything,
just like Emily's mom went on every day (or more often) when she was pregnant with Emily.
Years of psychopharmacological testing and research has given Emily a fairly normal life,
but you may have to dance with her to form your own opinion of her progress. Oh, and BTW,
one of the results of her mother's visits to the brewery was that she and Liia were born joined
at the hip.
Heidi Fite - The Chocolate Bar & Ted Drewes Frozen Custard
Organizer Heidi Fite says: "Since I entered the convent, I am not allowed to partake of such sinful drinks and desserts as they have at The Chocolate Bar (Address: 1915 Park Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63104) or Ted Drewes (Address: 4224 S Grand Blvd. or 6726 Chippewa), but oh, how I enjoyed them in the tawdry days of my squandered youth. Woe is me, I am woe, woe, woe, rue, rue, rue."
Jeff Scott - Venice Cafe
Address: 1903 Pestalozzi St., St. Louis, MO 63118
For Halloween one year, Jeff went as the Venice Cafe,
covered in mosaics and paintings just like this crazy arty restaurant and bar...except he didn't have
any mosaics on him...or paintings...he was just a little bit crazy...and Seal approved of that.
Khrysti Smith - Yemanja Brazil
Address: 2900 Missouri Ave.
Follow your coconut essence and you may end up at Yemanja
Brasil, Khrysti's favorite Brazilian restaurant on Missouri Ave.
She also loves their signature drink, but can never remember what it is, or why her pocket is full
of quarters.
Leslie Carpenter - Mai Lee Restaurant
Address: 8840 Delmar Blvd., University City
Leslie will have the clear noodle soup, thankyouverymuch, or maybe oe of the other 280
Vietnamese and Chinese favorites at Mai
Lee. Then, if you are acting up, she may just kick your ass. Seriously.
Liia Talvet - Missouri Botanical Gardens
Address: 434 Shaw Blvd, St. Louis, MO
Missouri botanical gardens has lots
of amazingly beautiful flowers and carp in ponds, like Liia. Somehow she
contains both the essence of the flowers and the fish, also a little bit
of the gift shop, but none of the parking lot...definitely none of the
parking lot. We weren't going to mention that she and Emily were born joined at the hip,
but they both submitted this picture for the webiste and program, so I guess there's
no way to ignore it. Be prepared for this dynamic duo of follows - they will keep your hands
full.
Sara Cherny - Crown Candy Kitchen
Address: 1401 St. Louis Ave. (I-70 east to Saint Louis Ave. exit.
Turn right.)
When you walk through the front doors of the
Crown
Candy Kitchen, you may feel like you've taken a giant step back in
time. Crown Candy Kitchen is one of St. Louis ' oldest and most
popular attractions. It is old and very popular, just like Sara, except that she is not old,
just popular, and not just popular, but very very popular, and not just that but many other
things too. They still get along well together, which speaks volumes for Sara's maturity.
Open till 10pm Monday through Saturday.
Steve Costello - The City Museum
Address: 701 N. 15th St., St. Louis, MO 63103
The City Museum is an eclectic mixture
of children's playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique,
found objects. Just don't get your nose caught in the propellers like our friend Steve.
Terri Montgomery - The Moto Museum
Address: 3441 Olive Street, St. Louis, MO
Terri loves motorcycles, and can often be found making vroom vroom noises
with her mouth (we think). There is a cool event at the Moto
Museum this week with all sorts of attractions, and if not for bluesSHOUT,
Terri would be there, or not.
