Perfect first visit to Chaifetz Arena last Friday night. We came from Oregon to see Ella Langley,…read moreand it was sold out and the setting was perfect. In particular, Mark one of the ushers/security? was extremely gracious to my wife and he told her that it would be easier to use the restrooms on the main floor versus going back up. (we were in row e) Nice touch Mark. The lines were long, but hey...it was sold out and everything worked out perfectly. Except for the rain after the show, but I doubt the Arena had any control over that.

I always enjoy attending events at Chaifetz! Everything always seems well-organized. It's a pretty…read moregreat mid-sized venue for the St. Louis area. It feels big enough to host major sporting events, concerts, and other events while offering great views from most seats. The layout is pretty easy to navigate as well. You get your typical arena food options, nothing special there. Overall I enjoy attending events here!

Cherokee St. is…read moreblocked off between Jefferson Ave. and Nebraska Ave. Free admission and there is free street parking nearby. There are also paid parking on Jefferson Ave. for $10. It gets pretty packed in the afternoon and traffic gets backed up in the area. The local restaurants and shops are open alongside the festival. Lots of Mexican food vendors (also funnel cakes), beer and margarita stands and merchandise vendor (like sombreros and $5 sunglasses). There's also a "Kid" Klaw game (giant life size claw machine) that cost $5-$10, 3 music stages, a roller skating rink, wrestling ring, and mechanical bull ride. It's a festival for everyone, some people bring their dogs and some bring their babies. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2022

It's The Palace Theater! Gonna see Love at First Fright? A magic show? Take a time machine back to…read morethe 1990s when the place had shows all season long? The doors open 10-15 minutes before a show starts. Yes, Love at First Fright is still performed here every year, and the steps of The Palace are where the "freaks" run after they are released from the train, and that area is used as a stage for other, shorter performances. I'm not able to ride most theme parks rides these days, so I attend the shows. I'd love to see more shows at The Palace.

Edwardsville is so lucky to have this vintage entertainment venue. I have fond memories of coming…read morehere as a child to see movies with my cousins. It's where I saw many of the classic Disney animation films and one of my favorite musicals, Sound of Music. Today, I went for a taping of a STL news program. Great Day St. Louis was doing a live broadcast promoting, the centennial of Route 66. The program was not only informative, but entertaining as well. I enjoyed seeing the old theatre that now host, concerts, comedians, movies and a variety of other activities. Seeing the old concession stand, plaques on the walls and the vintage decor added to my flashback of the good ole days. Seeing the second floor as an event space was super cool. It would be great for a wedding reception, retirement party or a momentous birthday or anniversary. If you're in need of a party space, be sure to check, The Wildey.

Great venue. Not a bad seat in the house and food and drinks are reasonably priced. And the ticket…read moreprices are affordable

Small, quaint venue. Awesome for accommodating the ARTS (all forms)…read more I had the pleasure of attending JPEK production: Real Life: A Hip Hopera. Amazing work by the entire staff from musical engineering, lighting, talented actors, concessions and panelists. The play touched on real life topics; not just relevant to St. Louis but nationwide hot topics. Seating can be tight...this was a sold-out event. However I believe the seats were setup to make those attending as comfortable as possible. Snacks & wine were available for purchase, restroom was clean and facility itself well kept. Easy to find in the Grand Arts District. Plenty of private lot as well as off-street parking available. ~Christy

The BF and I enjoy hanging out on Main Street in St. Charles for eats, cocktails and live…read moreentertainment. We hang out with acquaintances for date nights. We also enjoying going to various businesses in St. Charles-The Chicken Coup for fried chicken. Sauci Pasta for delicious homemade pastas and salads. Napeoli 3 for their cocktails. Aldi's for groceries. He likes to hit the casino occasionally and I will accompany him for dinner dates in the casino. St. Charles has a plethora of really great spots to accommodate ALL your needs, from home and garden to night life and everyday needs. We often travel across the bridge because of the shopping options.

This section of St Charles is roughly adjacent to the Katy Trail State Park and the Missouri River is visible across the parking lot and trail area. The Main Street area is a semi-historic area with a lot of dining and shopping opportunties located in mostly historic buildings. It appears that a major effort has been made to preserve the historic nature of the district. My wife and her sister enjoyed some of the shopping sites and the four of us enjoyed a delightful lunch on the patio of one of the restaurants. The Main Street area of St Charles is a great place to spend an afternoon (or evening).

They sell dinners from 11am-6pm, which is great if you work in the area and want some fresh crispy…read morefish. I also noticed on the order sheet they do phone and fax orders. Their dinners are $8 and you can also buy extra sides for $1. Our dinners were ready in probably 10 minutes, and they also call your name when your dinners are ready. My buffalo steaks were great- really crispy, fresh, and the batter was seasoned with plenty of black and red pepper (but it wasn't too spicy). The spaghetti was extra-saucy and might've been meatless.

If you want a great deal on a good fish fry, go here! We went on 2/23 for Soul Food Fish Fry and it…read morewas awesome! The basic fry is $9 for fish of your choice and 2 sides (standard no choice). They also have soul food staples (mac & cheese, green beans and cobbler-varies) available for an additional charge on certain days (next one is 3/23/18). You won't go hungry: we got two large catfish filets, two sides, with bread, onions, pickles, a piece of a quick bread and condiments all packed to go). This was great because we had leftovers! Drinks and extra desserts are also extra (bottled water was 50 cents) I'd give it more stars, but there's only 5. Exceptional food, nice people and a good cause. Enjoy!

This was our first year going, so we had no expectations. The wait in line to get in (even with…read moretickets pre-purchased) was about 30 minutes or so for us. (They apparently were having some trouble with those who showed their tickets on their phones.) A wide selection of samples were available. The lines were long, but it wasn't too horrible of a wait. The lines were hard to follow until you understood the system. My husband and I had a good time and would give it another go. We love Schlafly and were happy to try some new things.

The Hop in the City has been a favorite of mine for many years. I truly enjoy the variety of beers…read morethat Schlafly offers. Schlafly beer hosted their 20th Hop In The City. This great beer fest allowed me to discover so many tasty brews. Schlafly is the original craft brewery in St. Louis and their beer festival has grown over the years and has attracted many passionate beer drinkers. The festival also offers live music from many talented local bands. The Dave Matthews tribute band was very talented. I do wish that they would return to their original set up of having the beers in the middle of the tent so that they are more accessible. So many hover under the tent to socialize and it's difficult to get around the conversing crowds to obtain another sample. I also hope that they return to a glass sampler. The beer tastes better in a glass.
