I hope you enjoyed your stays in the STL, just a midwest city with a small town feel

Every time I was in St Louis I went to Robata
A lobster dinner with entree main course all the chefs acrobatics throwing onions to the ceiling and slicing them and an icecream all for 25 dollars when at the time it was like 75 dollars in Belgium
I was warned never to cross the bridge to the other side of St Louis which I did'nt
I also enjoyed Union Station small restaurant on the first floor with Alaska King Crab
I am an engineer so I only had to laugh when I saw the film of the construction of the arch gateway to the west where the last element did not fit and they had to use hydrolic jacks to get it
into place
But even in 1996 there were signs predicting changes acoming
I bought a dozen suits in virgin wool made to size at the NYSE
100 $ suite exchange all came from Korea
I worked for Monsanto at the time 64000 workforce when I started
Only 16000 or so when I got fired after they split of all chemicals under the name of Solutia

And people thought that Andy Griffith's Mayberry was a fictional town.

It is very sad that even the people who deal with our money for a living can't recognize our money.

I can understand that young people have never seen these coins, the coins are not distributed. They are as rare as a $2 bill. LOL, which also is not well distributed.

LOL willieboyd2 do you want to hear something funny about what you said. It was approximately 50 to 60 miles from where Andy Griffith Lives for real (now that is) where he got his start. and it is in Nc. And SUsann you are right I prefer small little town I am from one in North EAst PA. a liitle farm community.
