The Georgia Voice by Joey Amato: “Pride Journey: St. Louis”
The last time I was in St. Louis I was still in my 20s, and I had the energy to party all night. After many shameless social media posts and ten years later, I had the opportunity to revisit The Lou with a friend of mine from Indianapolis. St. Louis is more or less centrally located, so it is easy to travel to from almost anywhere in North America. This makes St. Louis a fantastic destination for a long weekend getaway.
There is a variety and abundance of places to explore in St. Louis. So, immediately after checking into the beautiful Chase Park Plaza Royal Sonesta Hotel, we walked to the Saint Louis Science Center. This is just one of many attractions located in Forest Park, an area larger than New York’s Central Park. During our visit, the Science Center was displaying a riveting Pompeii exhibition. Guests had the opportunity to relive the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and the rediscovery of the Roman city of Pompeii which contained more than 150 authentic artifacts and engaging interactive exhibits.

Riverfront Times by Riverfront Times Staff: “3 Best Shows in St. Louis This Weekend – August 15 to 21”
It’s no secret that City Museum is one of the absolute best attractions St. Louis has to offer, so when the beloved art-project-turned-adult-playground throws an event, you can bet it’s equally exciting. Enter City Nights at City Museum, a four-night-only affair that takes over the building’s rooftop with live music, a light show, art by a variety of vendors and more.

Back-to-school time can be stressful for children with a learning disability. The St. Louis Learning Disabilities Association is hoping to make that transition easier.

“Whether it be educational coaching, assessments, advocacy, you name it, LDA equips these students with the tools and the confidence they need to be successful in school and then in life,” said James Huang, LDA board director and client.

Columbus Underground by Randi Walle: “Travel: St. Louis in 12 Hours”
Despite not being a major city by population, St. Louis holds its own against other larger cities with its tourist attractions, quirky foods, and iconic sites. Sports fans, foodies, and site-seers can all find activities within the city. Because of the city’s smaller size and the close proximity of attractions, experiencing a wide variety of St. Louis culture is possible even in a short amount of time.
Recently I spent one day in St. Louis, taking in as much as possible of the city. Within 12 hours, I saw a portion of the Botanical Garden, visited the top of the Arch, ate locally famous pizza, saw the site of the 1904 World Fair, and explored local neighborhoods.
