Things We Will Miss About St. Louis
- The owl that lives in the tree outside our bedroom window and hoots me to sleep every night
- Our apartment
- some truly fantastic restaurants like Pho Grand (our ultimate favorite)
- the Parkway Ward
- All my AmFam peeps
- the zoo (one of the best in the nation)
- watching the Cards play (and the Rams and the Blues)
- Fresh mozzarella from Viviano’s Italian deli
- some really great shopping
- Forest Park with the Art Museum, Science Center, and Boathouse
- the Botanical Gardens
- All of these just a few miles from home: Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Costco, an Italian deli, a Middle Eastern deli, and an Asian deli
- charming architecture in neighborhoods like Lafayette Square, Central West End, Litzinger Boulevard, Clayton, and Tower Grove
- Gooey Butter Cake
- The Dave Glover Show
- Anheuser Busch (they sponsor so many fun, free concerts, fireworks etc.)
- Tons of trails, parks and lakes
- Feeling like you’re in the middle of the woods when you’re in the middle of the ‘burbs
- Diversity, variety, and selection
Things We Will Not Miss About St. Louis
- Getting bit by wasps, chiggers, monster-size mosquitoes and other bugs
- Weird salads
- Cheese Sauce on Everything
- Hearing 26 stories/day about someone’s big kill on the hunting trip last weekend
- Hearing 82 stories/day about how drunk someone got last weekend
- Nasty “St. Louis Style” pizza and other weird St. Louis foods like toasted ravioli or pork steak
- Our car getting broken into
- Everybody is a chain smoker
- retarded drivers
- Lakes where waterskiing/wakeboarding is not allowed and where hundreds of people are speeding around in cigar boats
- “fishing lakes” where you’re not allowed to swim
- Disgusting rivers where you wouldn’t want to swim
- (big, useless bodies of water in general)
- Nasty Sticky humidity
- Ear Aches (from the humidity)
- Asthma (from the humidity and pollution)
- Getting chicken pocks, pityriasis rosea, and other weird skin issues constantly
this picture has nothing to do with anything, but isn't it awesome?!!
I need some Springtime right now.
