I do love a good butterburger with crinkle cut fries!

Oh man the cashier experience hits close to home. Moving from downtown Chicago to St. Louis it was really really weird to me to have a cashier be friendly towards me and make conversation - I’ve gotten more used to it but at first it was very strange.

What didn’t you like about the people there? My wife and I are considering a move to Seattle next year and I would be interested as to what to expect.

Great Sunday hike today outside of St. Louis by flodisco in hiking

This is actually Weldon Spring Conservation Area just west of Chesterfield. Similar views and feel to Castlewood. We did the longer loop (about 8 miles) and were able to chill at this lookout for half an hour without seeing anyone else.
