South City STL Blog

This year was our first Mardi Gras in the city.  2.5 miles from all the action.  We ended up parking as close as we could, about a half mile away, and started walking.  We kept home base at a friend’s place on Menard, and ventured out to see the parade and people watch.  Overall, we had Continue Reading...

I know that the Arch Rival Roller Girls league isn’t “south city” but I wanted to write about them for multiple reasons (and I have an “Outside the City” category for a reason, right?). First, I’ve been a fan for a long time.  I got into it back in 2006 when Continue Reading...

The highlight of my weekend was most definitely the People of Walmart party on Friday night at the Tin Can (Morgan Ford).  The premise of the party was simple — pick a photo from peopleofwalmart.com and dress like that customer.  They judged all the costumes at midnight and gave prizes to Continue Reading...

Last Saturday was the Poker Pub Crawl on the Morgan Ford strip.  It was $10 to play, you got seven cards, and had to make the best (or worst) five card poker hand.  The highest and lowest hand of the night received a percentage of the buy-in. We arrived at Colorado Bob’s around 2pm and Continue Reading...

Have you seen this gnome?  He’s hiding out somewhere in St. Louis and this picture is the only clue I have to his whereabouts.  And no, it’s not a Travelocity ad campaign, it’s the Hannah Games Runaway Gnome!  Every month they’ll be posting a new picture of the gnome, Continue Reading...

I hope you had a great holiday!  I spent some time with my family in Atlanta (and went geocaching with my nephew, but that’s another blog post) and now I’m looking forward to New Year’s Eve and the start of 2010.  Last year at this time, Zack had a mohawk, we were renting (in Continue Reading...

Last Saturday (12/19), Zack and I went to see El Monstero, a Pink Floyd cover band, at the Pageant.  We had general admission tickets so we planned on being there around 5pm to get into Halo Bar.  They let patrons of Halo Bar into the venue before the rest of the crowd, so it’s a good Continue Reading...

“The most Beautiful Women In Soulard. I Guarantee You Will Not Be Disappointed.” – says their website. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.  We still had fun there – singing karaoke and laughing at the bartender, but the service was horrible.  It was clear that guys (and Continue Reading...

How cute is our Doberman ?  She’ll be a year old this month.  Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  The blog’s been a little dead since then because Zack and I have been enjoying the holidays with family.  Not much to report event-wise, but I’d like to get a Continue Reading...

Last Saturday was the FUEL for the City’s first annual Poker Pub Crawl in Dogtown.  The concept was, jump on the party bus and make your way to five different bars in Dogtown.  Collect a playing card at each stop to form a poker hand.  The only way you can get more cards is to buy a Continue Reading...
