Party On Wayne

It's rumored that Saint Louis is about to host some big baseball "All Star" game. Guys are so lucky. Their favorite pastime has a five day party in the summer. I think shoppers should employ that model. In the fall and the spring, the best shoppers in the U.S. would converge on two fabulous malls or outlet malls in small seaside tourist towns and shop for eight hours. You would have a shopping list and a budget of course. If you stayed within your budget and got fabulous deals you would be the All Star. I had cause to go downtown today and was surprised at how efficiently and quietly Saint Louis can close exits and accommodate huge crowds like those expected at the All Star Game. You would never know we had the annual two day 25-year old tradition: Fair Saint Louis on the arch grounds a mere week ago. In our city, we know how to prepare for lots of people. If Saint Louis were one person, you would want to invite her to parties. She would never forget the potato salad.
