One could walk to the Gateway Arch and to the Old Courthouse (which is apparently temporarily closed) where you could learn, well what can I say... Later I read in a book by a compatriot who had recently taught in St. Louis that there is much more wrong in and around that city. And then of course the Cards Stadium. All within walking distance of the hotel. Then a while ago, word came that the hotel was closing. And now another hotel is opening in an old bank building...
