Then the dispensary smell will hit you the moment you open the car door and it will make you want to leave. Once you get past all that initially, you may end up having a good meal. Its a small space. Reservations recommended because it will fill up fast. We had a party of 11, knocked down to 7 and they were able to accomodate. Wine menu was priced higher than the norm. Non drink people they have Pepsi products. Food menu wasn't huge but has enough that everyone should find something. Our group got a variety of food items. I ended up with toasted ravioli and a single serve pizza. Pizza was very good, I loved how much meat they put on it, they didnt skimp out. The toasted ravioli was good but nothing special made it stand out. Salads looked good as everyone in the group got one. The outside smells drift in occasionally but once you get past all that it was a good meal.

This is definitely one of those little gems!…read more My sister took me here when I came to visit her at SIU. She had always heard of it, but had never been. It was beautiful! HELPFUL HINT: Just wade across the water to get to the other side! We didn't on the way there and decided to walk down and then jump when the river became a creek. What a horrible idea! We got hot, sticky, sweaty, and eaten up by mosquitoes! Awful! Then, when we jumped, we got muddy and I managed to jump onto a stick and cut the very bottom of my foot. Did I mention that the stick that cut me also gave me a huge splinter? So overall, just a bad idea. We climbed all the way to the top and what a gorgeous view! The water was pretty high and the current was really strong, so we didn't climb throughout the spillway. We decided instead to stay on the side, which was fairly dry in some parts, and definitely less slippery overall. I am sure when the water level goes down, it would be a great place to lounge and get some sun! Just watch out! It is SLIPPERY!

This area…read morewas really run-down and seemed really sketchy; the roads seemed pretty destroyed and surrounding buildings were mostly obliterated or inhabited. So, I wouldn't recommend visiting at night, as you never know what you may encounter. The Grafitti wall was much more longer than I thought it would be! The vibrant colors from various artists that join together to create a complete picture was truly astounding. It's actually so inspiring to see so many different artists working together, incorporating their own unique styles to create one single piece of artwork. If I took a few minutes to really take in and admire each grafitti, finishing the wall would take HOURS! I was skeptical that this mural was worth the trip to an abandoned area, but I'm truly so glad that I came to see this beauty. If you're in Saint Louis, you have to come take a look!

Review is obviously just for the chair (see my Fanning Outpost store review if you're…read moreinterested...). So, about the chair...yeah it's cool to look at for like 3 minutes. Then the novelty wears off just like that. You can go up close and underneath it, unlike the World's Largest Rocking Chair in Casey, Illinois (which they had roped off when I was there last year). On the wooden legs you see so many people trying to advertise their blog/YouTube channel/whatever with stickers, which kind of takes the fun out of things. (Then again, you see this happen on a lot of Route 66 attractions, even at the Chicago begin/end signs) But, it makes for a great selfie and Instagram moment. Probably the best spot for that kind of thing on Route 66 in Missouri.

"China China" by Zhu Wei is a bold bronze sculpture in Terminal 1 of St. Louis Lambert…read moreInternational Airport. It features two stylized figures that recall ancient Chinese tomb guardians while also nodding to modern political themes. Created in 2003 and loaned by the Gateway Foundation, the sculpture stands about six feet tall and sits in the pre-security ticketing area. Zhu Wei, a Beijing-born artist known for his satirical and socially aware work, designed the piece to explore the push and pull between tradition and modern life in China. The figures wear suits resembling the Mao-era Zhongshan jacket, a symbol of mid-century collectivism. Zhu Wei has called his approach an effort to "modernize the past," and this sculpture reflects that idea. Placed in a busy airport, the figures act as quiet observers and cultural messengers, inviting reflection on identity, history, and artistic voice. Originally shown in the Central West End, the sculpture moved to Lambert in 2014. It remains a standout piece in the airport's public art collection, offering travelers a brief moment of stillness and thought amid the bustle.

On our drive from Kansas City to St. Louis, my girlfriend and I took a detour south to Cuba. Noooo,…read morenot that Cuba, but Cuba, Missouri to Bob's Gasoline Alley. We specifically plotted this route on our GPS so that we could pass thru this cool outdoor museum-like area. To sum it up, it was a pretty interesting stop on the way. It was a bit off the beaten path as we had to traverse thru some very quiet areas and creeks, but this very unique outdoor gas station memorabilia museum exists in the middle of nowhere. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth taking a few photographs as you make your way thru Route 66. There were hundreds of pieces of vintage gas station memorabilia on display and no one in the vicinity when we made our stop so we had the whole area to ourselves. There were a few cars that passed by, but all of them just drove by. It makes for a nice 15-minute break from a long drive as it is a great chance to get out to stretch and take a few photos.

I'm a HUGE fan of all things vintage, so seeing the antique cars an sign along Route 66 sparked my curiosity. We got off the nearest exit, took some back roads, and finally arrived to the Mecca of all things Vintage - Bob's! Located in a quiet, remote area of Missouri, my friends and I had no idea what to expect from this adventure. A friendly man greeted us as we snapped photos, who turned out to be Bob himself. We took some photos of all the vintage memorabilia outside - then made our way inside a restaurant - which turned out to be a catering service of sorts. We were greeted by a woman who seemed to be setting up for an upcoming event. She was very welcoming, told us to come inside and take all the pictures we wanted. She even showed us the stairway that led up to the top floor. VERY cool place!! After taking photos in the catering area, Bob gave us a tour of the land. We checked out different sheds and spaces that contained a ton of hoarded vintage collectibles. Bob was kind enough to allow us to browse around and take photos while he waited for us outside in the heat (poor guy). Not gonna lie - I actually thought we might get murdered for about 3 minutes. The place, while very interesting and unique, had a strange eery vibe about it. We walked out alive (obvs), but I was pretty vocal to my friends about the possibility and we enjoyed a few laughs thanks to it. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone who loves old school American nostalgia. Bob's will definitely be the place for you.
