Customer Reviews

a wonderful guide to St. Louis

Before I moved to St. Louis in 1990 (where I lived for a year) one of the first things I did was look for an informative local interest book. This book filled the bill. At the time, Elaine Viets was a columnist for the St. Louis paper, and this book is a collection of her columns about quirky people and customs in this beautiful, doomed old city. Her essay on brain sandwiches alone was worth the price (as I recall, she mentions the Haven near Carondelet Park, someplace on South Broadway, and Pat's on Oakland).
