And almost got a LTM from that guy in Clayton. I lived in Old Orchard in Webster Groves across the street from The Spectrum. I went to Webster College and took courses at Washington University. St. Louis Rocks. They have great trains now and we had a LHSA meeting there Oct 23, 2003 I may have helped talk them into it. Loved taking the train from the airport to the hotel for a buck and a half. That's what I call a civilized society. One part Chicago one part New Orleans there's no way of beating that. Once you can find your way to the river in the blazingly hot summers. Its about 45 minutes south. The Missouri river I think. One out of 3 people drown in it so its inner tubes only.
