Week 2010 May
7-16. Ten days

personal
favorites are
the tours: Lemp

Motor Alley,
Crown Square (14th
Street Mall),
Beaux Arts
Building, St.
Louis Police

Eat-Rite or

All! And you can

diner is located
on the southern
edge of

Tip:
“If you order
anything to go,
you must take it

ordering to go
then eating it
here”, so the
sign says.
