Art Museum, New & Beautiful

Established & respected Washington University has had an art museum for many years. In October, they opened a new one, the Kemper Art Museum, to replace the old one. Finally, I visited yesterday. I am sure I will return many times; it is a very good space. Open & light, with a series of large & small rooms on the first floor for the changing exhibits. The second floor holds the permanent collection ( must return to see that!), and there's more here, too.

Entrance is free, which is great. But we St. Louisans are spoiled by free museums! We don't have to pay to enter many of our museums. Yes, another reason to visit us!

The only thing I didn't like is they have a place you must put your backpacks, but it isn't locked or guarded. If this concerns you, leave your pack, or large bag, someplace else before you arrive?

 dzni Says:  Sheraton Clayton Plaza Hotel St. Louis Just a very decent hotel in the business district of Clayton. Rooms were very nice when I stayed here, and depending upon the location of your room, you could get a view of the St. Louis Arch.

This was my first taste of Quizno's, and I was thouroughly impressed, as we do not have one in Louisville. Yes, it's just a regular old, expensive fast-food joint, but it really does taste pretty good!

Pretty good restaurant that serves woodoven-baked pizzas. Actually, the chicken pizza I had was excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Restaurant is definitely casual, and orders are placed at the front, from which point you receive full service.

Favorite Dish: Pollo e Pumante - basically a chicken pizza, but very good
