South City STL Blog

It seems like 2010 is the year of new beginnings.  Entrepreneurs are taking chances on some great locations right here in South City St. Louis.  Here are a few new places set to open soon (or already opened).  Please leave a comment if you have any more information about these places or other Continue Reading...

I’ve added a few more reviews to the site. They’re mostly quick impressions on Yelp, but as I take more photos and visit those places again, I’ll add a fuller review to the blog. I wanted to use this post to mention a few city pet shops that we love and support.  Four Muddy Continue Reading...
