It's been over 3 years since touring beautiful St. Louis, I'm sure many things have changed. I'm going to be there soon and would like to check out some new places. Where ever I am I like to contribute to the local community instead of big corporations. I would also like to know of any areas that were once safe but no longer are. So much has changed in this world!!! I do like to avoid down town and don't mind the suburbs.
I love nature spaces, hiking kayaking, whatever the weather permits. Where are the prettiest and safest places to get outside? I normally have only 1 meeting a day so I have plenty of time to get out into nature![:)](/library/style/i/emoticons/regular_smile.gif)
Hello Becca!
Hope you have a good visit to St. Louis.
As far as I know, not much has changed as far as safe and hot areas. Downtown seems to be a more dangerous place these days with increased violent crimes but you already mentioned wanting to avoid there.
As a hick from the sticks of Illinois who just wanders into the St. Louis area for his fix I really don't know much about local restaurants etc. Anymore I just drive in, get what I need, and then head for home.
J.
Thanks for the info and the kind words
