South City STL Blog

With summer in full swing, there are a lot of things going on in South city.  In addition to the World Cup, there are a lot of fun local events to attend.  Here are some upcoming events that you don’t want to miss! And if you forgot about the Naked Bike Ride last weekend, check out the Continue Reading...

Being from the east coast of Florida, I’m used to storms.  I sat outside on the porch during Hurricane Andrew and watched the trees fly by.  I’m used to hurricanes lasting days and going without power for weeks. Here’s some crappy footage of Hurricane Frances (it was 6 years Continue Reading...

This Saturday, after you celebrate St. Patrick’s day at the downtown parade, you probably want to head closer to home.  Many South City establishments are offering up great deals and St. Pat-themed parties to keep you going all night long.  I’ve also included some other events and Continue Reading...

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...
