I think George should give me a call. I’ll take him to the Zoo, complete with elementary aged escorts and then we’ll head either to Pho Grand or to LoRusso’s, depending on what everyone’s in the mood for, before swinging by Ted Drewe’s. We’ll probably need to do some more walking to get rid of the extra calories so I’ll introduce him to St. Charles’s Main Street and we’ll visit the First State Capitol. I think he’d enjoy experiencing O’Fallon’s nightlife by being a ride-along with OPD. If he makes it all the way to the end of the midnight shift, I’ll treat him to a slinger at Courtesy Diner.

hmmmm…..keeping George busy…well I have a few ideas…but after that there are lots of things to do in a beautiful and historic city…I would start with a driving tour of all the beautiful cathedrals and churches the city offers (old cathedral, new cathedral, the great cathedrals/churches near Kingshighway/Forest Park/Central West End, then to the south side cathedrals working up to Soulard). Next we would visit the market and start a good pub crawl in Soulard working down to Cherokee/Lemp and maybe dinner at Lemp Mansion, or a trip to Venice cafe. Next day we would do a great architecture tour of City Hall, Union Station, the fine turn of the century homes (Second Empire, Richardsonian Romanesque) in Compton Heights, Lafayette Square, Benton Park, Central West End/Lindell Blvd. Maybe we would drive to St. Genevieve to see some of the only remaining French Creole vernacular architecture in the country. We would visit Campbell House Museum, a stroll through Lafayette Square Park, Shaw’s (Mo Botanical) Garden, a drive through Tower Grove Park or Carondolet Park and St. Louis Hills, the Loop and Blueberry Hill, Forest Park, ice skating at Steinberg, a zip down art hill on a sled, the art museum, the zoo, the Planetarium, the Chase Park Plaza for a drink, visit the Muny (in summer) for free seats, the Fabulous Fox for a show, dinner on the Hill, Imo’s pizza…

I think he ough5t to kick back in a nice suite and just cool it , order room service or eat in the motel. He doesn’t have to entertain people just so they can claim to be a big shot telling everyone they know Mr Clooney.
George you have all your private time taken up in Tinsel town , kick and do what you want to do , not us.

Thanks for the time Art Bishop

He should go to the Art Museum, it’s really one of the best in the country. He should also take a drive up the Great River Road. And once he’s had enough culture and history, a day trip to Sikeston for some Throwed Rolls!

I agree with Grizzly. There are some fine upstanding things to see in St. Louis, but nothing that will beat the bigger cities you’ve been too. To get a taste of Missouri, befriend a hoosier and have him/her take you to their stomping grounds in central MO where you can hang out with the locals and ride ATV’s and 4×4 trucks, maybe do a little rock crawling or mud running, all while drinking ice cold beer and listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd. And if it’s warm, head to Party Cove. That atmosphere can’t be found anywhere else in the country! But be prepared to catch a little grief for being so liberal, all good natured though. Good times!!

good ol george should come to chesterfield mall and buy a sleep metrics bed from the bedroom store. then go on opra and jump up and down on the couch about it.

He should visit the St. Louis Zoo, a winner in any weather. If it’s raining, head to any of the “indoor” exhibits. No visit is complete without a turn on the Zooline Railroad. Unfortunately, that’s not open until April, but he can always substitute a ride on the Conservation Carousel.

Hey George- Welcome to St Louis! I agree with a few comments her and have one of my own. First, the Fox Theatre is an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME place to see. It is so beautiful and amazing on the inside - something I’m not sure a lot of people get the chance to see a place like this. Would be a great place to shoot another movie! : ) http://www.fabulousfox.com/photo_gallery.aspx Then there is Fast Eddies - a very laid back, causal place. A mid afternoon meal during the week should be pretty quiet. Some say it serves the most beer in the whole world. And the beer is ICE COLD! The food is also simple but delicious! Try a Kabob or big Elwood on a stick! http://www.fasteddiesbonair.com/?mpf=frame The, if you want your heart touched, visit Randy Grim at Stray Rescue. I know you like animals (sorry you lost your pig), and Randy has dedicated his life to his passion of saving the strays of St Louis from a horrible slow death by literally going out and finding them, picking them up off the streets, and taking them to his shelter to care for them until they are healthy enough to adopt out. His story truly is amazing. http://strayrescue.org/ Hope you enjoy your visit!

If it snows he should sled down Art Hill.

George should eat at Yacovelli’s Restaurant, family owned now in it’s 4th generation of our family serving St Louis since 1919. We are very excited to be celebrating our 90th anniversary this year. 1919-2009
We love you George! Welcome to St Louis!
