A friend and I attended the "Landscapes and Lemonade" event at the Schlafly branch of the St Louis…read morePublic Library (SLPL) this past weekend. These events fill quickly through their online events calendar form, so we were glad to have the opportunity to grab some spots. I was disappointed to see that not everyone who signed up attended because participation is so highly sought after. The event itself was nice and relaxing. We enjoyed the two hours of painting and hope to finish later with our own paints at home as it wasn't quite enough time to tackle the whole painting. This branch is not my favorite of the public library for a couple of reasons. 1) there is a lot of blank space in the library; it's not very cosy or inviting. 2) Parking is a BEAR. Until the city as a whole becomes more walkable/metro accessible, it's unreasonable to have a library with paid parking. It makes it much more difficult to choose to frequent this branch.

Being a library patron has saved me so, so much money in the past two years. Seriously, if you…read morehaven't used a public library in a while hop back on the train. Books 5/5- WIDE selection with almost everything accessible. The city and county have merged their databases and i have rarely come across a book they don't have. You can place holds online and they will email you once ready. I pick this location as my home base because I frequent the CWE area often but you can pickup at any location. AND- they have broad selection of ebooks and audiobooks as well. All accessible through then libby app on your phone/ipad and even your kindle This location 3/5- parking is very inconvenient although they have a couple spots for pickup. This is also a loud location and often has disruptions so not the best place to study or settle down. Other 5/5- the staff is phenomenal, so kind. I have used their notary services several times and they are so helpful. Make sure to call ahead for the notary!

The Delmar Loop has been one of those neighborhoods that hits with an instant burst of energy as…read moresoon as you're here. Whether by car or Metrolink, it's literally a straight line out and back. Every time I'm here, it reminds me why this stretch has such a loyal following, because it's one of those places where you can land with no plan at all and still end up having a great time by just letting the street carry you along. The food scene here is the big draw, with a mix of global options that all seem to go together. From shawarma to ramen to tacos and yes, diner comfort food without breaking stride. The storefronts flip from quirky to arty and classic that keeps the walk interesting. Mini golf and bowling, too! Two unique things that make the Loop uniquely the Loop are the Planet Walk and the Saint Louis Walk of Fame. The Planet Walk is a scale model of the Solar System that stretches a half mile or so along Delmar mapping out the distances between the planets. And alongside this, the Walk of Fame runs along with stars honoring famous Saint Louisians (Saint Louisans?) set into the sidewalk. It's fun to spot names you know and names that are new to you. Chuck Berry. Maya Angelou. Tennessee Williams. Nelly. The Loop is named for the Loop Trolley. It launched in 2018, hit some operational and funding issues, and ended service in 2023. I'm bummed that I missed the opportunity to ride it. Maybe it returns one day? But even without the Trolley, the Loop is one long ribbon of activity. Accessible, diverse and consistently entertaining. It delivers exactly what you want from a neighborhood. [Review 440 of 2026 - 509 in Missouri - 25623 overall]

Got quotes from a couple of folks and decided on MVP. The night of our event, we arrived and MVP was already set up with four or five guys. We had items to bring inside and the valet assisted us without hesitation. We even had a guest with a flat tire. MVP helped change the tire. Actually MVP didn't help, they changed it. At the end, because MVP was adequately staffed, there wasn't a lengthy wait to get your vehicle. We were very satisfied with MVP.

They worked very hard, very fast, and all with a great attitude. They arrived in plenty of time, and considering we had hundreds of guests arriving at once, things couldn't have went any smoother. Three stars only because I had to call three times before I could get someone to send me a quote. Each time the person would say they would send it as soon as we hung up, and they never did. I finally had to call back and be a little more aggressive. I'm assuming they want as much biz as possible, so why not just follow through? Definitely use Midwest for your valet needs!

If you are coming in quickly to pick something up, or if you come to sit and relax and work for a while, the environment is super calming and spacious. There are tables as well as comfy chairs and couches, making it welcome for everyone. The staff here is very helpful and have answers to any questions. There are always available spaces in the parking lot or nearby on the side streets. The Kingshighway location is super convenient to get to, and it's just a short walk away from Tower Grove Park, making for the perfect excuse to grab a new book and go sit outside for a while. The most recent time I came in, they had a featured section right in front of books for Women's History Month, which I love. They also have a rotating selection of "staff picks" as well as new releases and novels. I find myself wanting to branch out with something new every time I go in. The inventory is online and is updated often. There's an option to put items on hold and pick them up at your preferred location, making for a fast and easy in-and-out if you don't have time to walk around the library. Thanks to all the STLPL locations for being welcoming and awesome!

The bedroom in the one bedroom spaces is much smaller than what it looks like online. The one main complaint I have is the front desk attendant. He is always extremely rude, not only to me, but also my guests. There is always a negative tone/attitude when he speaks. I am uncomfortable going into the building because I always feel judged or scared he will make a snide remark to me. I had a friend wait in the lobby for me to come down, and she told me he immediately questioned her as if she wasn't allowed to exist there. Besides this main issue the place is in a good location and has nice features.

Review: Disney on Ice Feb 2026 I love live entertainment!…read moreThis event was for the kiddos... and of course myself & grandma too! (any reason to be a big kid again)! Tickets: I drove downtown to the box office to save on the extra convenient fees that are automatically added if purchased online through ticket master. Service: This time around, they were two employees working. One was a lady, I wanted to wait for the older guy who was already helping someone, as he seemed very helpful in giving her insights. The lady decided to open up her window and called for the next customer. She was EXTREMELY RUDE! Almost turned me away! I ended up telling her that I will take some time to look on the website myself because she seemed as though she didn't want to be of help, and was rushing me to make a decision (no one was waiting behind me). I quickly browse the web and decided to wait for the older gentleman as I first intended to. I am glad I did. He was VERY Helpful! We got seats very close to the ice for very low cost! He also offered his recommendations! Event: We opted for the 11AM event, large turn out, but mostly longer children as to be expected for that time during school hours. Lots of lighting & stage effects being utilized which I love. However, this maybe not safe for someone who struggles with seizure disorders. Concession Stands: As you can imagine, plenty of vendors to get ALL of your money with all the Disney on Ice Sovereign. Food: We opted for quick bites and cotton candies. Plenty of junk food to choose from! Parking: Limited street parking available. Near by lots available for a fee. Closer ones cost more. We opted for one diagonal the venue for $20, I believe it was card only. Also, the metro link has a stop right next to the venue's location! I've opted for that option before to cut cost. Recommendations: Kiddos enjoyed it and so did we! Definitely worth checking a show out!

The best hockey stadium in the world. Only fitting for the best fans in the world. I can say this. Hockey fans are so much better and lively than baseball fans. St Louis is known as a baseball city. They may want to rethink that. Customer service was wonderful all night. From the time I walked in until the time I left the building. They did an amazing job to make you feel welcome and appreciated. The nachos were good, but not great. The chips and cheese were very good. The meat was okay, but something was off with the meat in my opinion. It wasn't bad. It might have been the texture for me. The jalapeños were great. The portion size was huge. The refillable soda was huge. I thought I was going to get a refill. I couldn't even finish my Mellow Yellow soda. The only disappointing part it was the last game of the season. I enjoyed everything tremendously.

Experiencing a soccer game at Energizer Park should be on everyone's bucket list, whether you…read morecurrently live in STL or are just visiting! I understand that this stadium is still pretty new (construction completed in 2022), but it is 100% the nicest sports stadium I have ever been to. There are plenty of parking lots around, and while they are a little pricey ($30-45), they are a short walk from the stadium and can be reserved ahead of time thru ParkMobile to ensure you get a spot. Even better, if you don't wanna pay that much, there is a ton of street parking available if you're willing to arrive an hour or two before a game. Before you even enter, there's a nice area right outside with vendors selling food, drinks, and merch. Typically, there's a "block party" where you can listen to live music, socialize, eat/drink, and play some fun games for small prizes. They also have a cornhole area out front creating even more activities you can dive into pre-game. Entry into the stadium is quick & seamless, though still secure. Thanks to the amazing staff, the stadium is incredibly clean and feels brand new. There are a TON of local vendors offering food & drinks, and although they're a bit pricey, I have yet to try something I don't like. Balkan Treat Box is obviously a staple and 10/10 while the Tito's bar near section 140 had yummy vodka slushies that I would definitely get again. There's also a handful of places that allow you to pre-order food and drinks through the app which helps cut down on the time spent waiting in line (the lines can get pretty long). There are a few lounges on the corners of the stadium that look really nice, though I haven't explored them quite yet. My only gripe with the stadium is that the bathrooms are sometimes a little hidden, even when following signs, so despite there being many bathrooms some of them can be difficult to find. The fans are what really make this experience unique, though. I'd never been to a sports game where 99% of the fans have team gear on until I went to Energizer Park to see CITY play. The fans are super passionate and will really get into the game (as they should). Do note that there is a standing area on the North side of the park with a bunch of die-hard fans constantly waving flags & pounding drums, so if you're not into that then you may want to avoid that section of the park. But when the game starts it's like you're transported to a different world as everyone comes together and cheers for CITY via chants, drums, & flags. Overall, Energizer Park offers an incredibly clean & fun experience that's welcoming even to non-soccer fans. I would highly recommend catching a game as you will not be disappointed!

Tower Grove Park is a very special place in St. Louis with many amenities. First of all, there are…read morelots of sidewalks that allow you to walk all around the part. Parking is free along the streets, as marked. There are pavillions that can be rented. There is a regular Farmer's Market, as well as fairs/festivals that take place here throughout the year. There is a fountain where lots of people take photos and a glass enclosed building that is popular for wedding receptions. You will find kickball/softball fields, a playground, and much more. I do recommend you cross streets with caution (don't be staring at your phone!). People often drive fast through the park and you could get hit by a car if you aren't paying attention. Also, keep your dogs leashed.
