Travel Info I am going to move to St. Louis, where should I go? Travel Tips If you're looking for a place to live, it depends on how much money you have. I suggest trying to stay in the city if you can, because the real estate prices in the suburbs can get pretty high, and commuting is rough (and we're beginning a major interstate improvement project next year, which will make the commute from the western suburbs even worse). I live in the South City area, which is nice and close to a lot of stuff, and right on an interstate that rarely if ever gets worked on, because it's in good shape. You might also look at some of the close suburbs like Shrewsbury, Webster Groves, or Affton (which are all south or southwest of St. Louis city) or Creve Coeur or Olivette (both west of the city). Downtown St. Louis has lots of loft apartments available for sale, and they're mostly very new. Apartments are available that are pretty nice in University City in a complex called Villages of Wyncrest, where I used to live, and there are plenty more in Olivette, University City, St. Louis city, and Creve Coeur. Eat at restaurants in The Hill, which is a mostly-italian neighborhood, or in Soulard, which is a historically Creole neighborhood. If you're looking for things to do, go to the Zoo (it's free, and probably the best free zoo in the country), the botanical gardens, the gateway arch, the city museum (look it up on the yellow pages, it's the most fun you'll ever have; bring friends). See a cardinals or rams game. Take a tour of the Budweiser Brewery, just south of Soulard. There's a neighborhood of bars and clubs called Laclede's landing right on the riverfront next to the arch if you're looking for nightlife. Saint Louis is a good time, those who say otherwise haven't given themselves the chance to really look at the city. Others Union Station. To live, to eat, to site see, to find a hooker, go for WHAT?? Anywhere but St. Louis. Everywhere!! I lived in St Louis for about five years and there is so much to do there (cheap) it's awesome. The friendliest people on earth and the most progressive government I've ever seen. From the Bush holdings to the Arch to Jamestown Mall to Plaza Frontenac(sp). The city holds all anyone would want. Best fishing in the Mississippi and local lakes. Sunfish Lake (if it's still there). James Park. Florissant! I live in California now, but would go back to St Louis in a heartbeat. I have to repeat ......some of the best people in America. I lived inSt Louis for thirty years and just moved to North Carolina. St louis has a free zoo, baseball and football, sights in the city. As far as where to live, the least expensive areas being the suburbs, Bridgeton, Hazelwood, etc. It has good restaurants, casinos, things to do. Things it does not have, closeness to the ocean, closeness to mountains, trees, new houses are going up everywhere so not much countryside left. Very cold winters as it is damp and very hot humid summers. What else would you like to know? either the central west end or west county. definately not east or north city. |
