'That's the Mississippi, the mighty Mississip, the old Miss... the old man...'

Drove into the 'Lou' from Chicago across the Mississippi and had a great view of the Arch and the city while stuck in traffic on the Poplar Street Bridge and bam just plain dumb luck this was a great viewpoint to work with.

The other was from west via my hotel the Drury Inn but I think this is the ne I'll paint first.

Over that weekend had a great time in St. Louis with a couple of buddies and a date with a cute Midwestern girl (more to come?)
Unfortunately the Cardinals were outta town but we were able to hit the Budweiser Brewery and Laclede's Landing.
