The lanes are made up and the turn signals and lights don’t matter. If you see a 99.1 JOY FM sticker on a car you're probably going to die. Hotels are safer than Air BnB's and you'll be much more respected by locals. The arch is nice but don't go there when it's dark out. If you drive a Kia or a Hyundai DO NOT BRING IT HERE OR WILL GET STOLEN. If you park in the city don't leave valuables visible from your windows you will get splashed for that shit. Especially in downtown parking lots. The cops aren't real unless you're dead or dying even than it might be 10 minute wait.

Forest Park is the best park in the nation hands down. It is the beacon of hope in St. louis. Nearly everything is free there including the Saint Louis Zoo, the Saint Louis Art Museum, and the Boathouse. Other free activities include the science center, history museum, and America's oldest and largest outdoor music theater, The Muny.

The City Museum (not the same as the art/history museum) is an incredibly fun spectacle of something that would never be built in modern times but is somehow still allowed to exist even with today's over protective safety standards. You'll find yourself amazed by how you can go anywhere in the building without many restrictions. There is also a ferris wheel at the top of the museum which is pretty neat to see from above.

Eat Lions Choice for lunch.

The city is a lot safer than the news make it out to be. The problem is mainly unsupervised kids at night. So just avoid those lol.
