They're part of an RV hospitality program, so I stayed her in my camper van, and the set up was genuinely convenient. The stone parking lot was level, the communication was excellent and despite being right next to the interstate, it was surprisingly quiet through the night. They're also directly across from a Love's, which makes grabbing last-minute snacks or drinks incredibly easy. For a quick, safe and friendly stop just east of Saint Louis, the White Barn is a solid option. Simple, welcoming and exactly what you want when you're rolling across Southern Illinois.

Just visited 1904 General Store for the first time…read more I visited downtown Alton yesterday -- for the first time in years. Decided to check out the general store as soon as I saw it -- it's a cool, welcoming old building. The first floor is full of candy, chocolate, fudge, ice cream, and other treats. I picked out some candy and sampled some delicious Belgian chocolate bars. I bought one for me, but I'll be back in a few months for friends' birthdays, and to try the fudge myself. The ice cream flavors (about 8) were all unique -- you aren't getting a simple chocolate or vanilla here. The most common of the flavors available was a rainbow sorbet. I think some of the other flavors were Shipwreck, Pirate's Bounty, and Superman, though I may not be recalling the names accurately. The upstairs is full of home decor items, including a wall decorated to look like someone's front porch. The styles are cute, though not my speed, as I am something of a minimalist. You can read all about their business and the building's Worlds Fair history over on their facebook page. Hope to visit again soon.

When I lived in STL, I was a regular shopper at Abigail's. When I shopped, I always knew I'd find…read morethe perfect gift, or something just for me. I now shop their website and still find exactly what I want and need. I am a garden flag guy. I have multiple post and change the flags on the regular. My collection of flags celebrate, holidays, local sports teams, pets, pride and my foodie personality. Since STL added a new sports team, I needed a new garden flag to support them. I was on-line researching and found one. I was getting ready to purchase my new City SC flag when a e-mail from Abigail's popped into my in-box. I cannot explain why I stopped my purchase and went to check my new mail, but I'm glad I did. Lucky for me the e-mail was announcing their new merchandise promoting, City SC. I went back and cancelled my order I was doing with a major retailer and placed an order with Abigail's. I prefer to support a small business, then pad the pockets of a major retailer. My package arrived in just a couple days. I received text messages telling me, they received my order and then telling me it had shipped. When I opened my package, it had a hand written note, thanking me for supporting a small business. This is the second business who has done that for me, this month. If you need a unique gift, I recommend shopping at Abigail's. However, if you're a shopaholic, beware, you my lose self-control.

The associates are always very pleasant and helpful. They're great at making suggestions for items you could buy. They have a lot of stuff that have to do with St. Louis as well as a lot of other gifts from your kitchen to garden to Christmas ornaments and just about anything. Prices are about average, but if you are on their mailing list, they do send you out coupons occasionally.
