No problem. Keep in mind that St. Louis' attractions are not concentrated downtown like your hometown lakefront/loop etc. Especially weekends, it might be kinda slow down there. But, as I said, you can hop on the Metrolink (which is clean and safe) and head to some more happenin' areas. The Central West End (CWE) is a great area for restaurants. It's also adjacent to Forest Park, which is home to the city's fine (and free) zoo, art museum, science center, and more. The Delmar-University City "Loop" area is a strip of eclectic shops and ethnic restaurants. Also a great "art movie" theatre. Union Station (the old passenger train shed) is now a mall. Kinda touristy, but still a fun place to spend some time. If you have a car, some other favorite areas include the antique shops down on Cherokee Street, authentic Italian grocery stores and restaurants in "The Hill" neighborhood, a cluster of good Vietnamese restaurants on South Grand Avenue, and the Soulard (farmers) Market. Also, The Missouri Botanical Garden is great for any gardener.
