Laumeier Sculpture Park

This sculpture park is just south of the city in the Sunset Hills municipality. Its a pretty good place to spend a few hours. It’s famous for the "big blue eyeball". Not sure how I feel about it, what are your thoughts?

Missouri Botanical Gardens

The botanical garden is a 79 acre landscape paradise that began in 1859. It is one of the finest gardens in the world and worth a visit. Even in the winter there is something to see.

Neighborhoods

STL-Holly-Hills-Candy-Cane-Architecture — Holly-Hills-Candy Cane Architecture

Many STL neighborhoods were built by German immigrants. Their use of brick and limestone block is distinct contrast and an easy way to decipher its origins. Beautiful little candy cane mansions and old world style mixed with 19th and early 20th century style.
