South City STL Blog

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...

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.

This weekend was a fun one, even though it was a little hectic!  We spent most of it in Springfield, IL, but still managed to get around to our South City staples. Friday night we went to Nick’s Pub on Manchester to get some dinner.  Normally we go here to drink, not to eat, but I was Continue Reading...
