apparently john Goodman is from st. louis!  this shopping area even had its own 'walk of fame' with stars and plaques lining the sidewalk the whole way down the street.

a view of the beautiful part we walked around in.

one of the plaques said that this is where one of the world's fair's took place.

beautiful!  the scenery is pretty too...
