<p>thats true. St. Louis also has an awesome symphony. All the better. :)</p>
<p>The Central West End is lots of fun and has some fabulous restaurants as well, very hip scene. Forest Park is pretty, you should take a walk around or play golf at the public park if that's your kind of thing (loooong holes!). Also, the Loop has some funky stores and there are good indie movie theaters scattered around campus.</p>
<p>Its a very peaceful place I know. I plan on taking up some golf. :)</p>
<p>too bad the symphony's funding is dying...</p>
<p>people love forest park-so much there! you have to go sledding down art hill in the winter :) (on trays stolen from center court, of course, hehe) everyone goes running there, or around clayton... but fyi, forest park is not a place to be hanging out/running after dark</p>
