Most of the produce sold at the market is grown by farmer who [...] Bauhaus Kaffee – Farmington, MO. Photo by smalltowngirl A phone call woke me up too early on this warm Missouri Saturday morning.

Despite soaring temperatures and unbelievable humidity, my friend and [...] One of the many good things that’s happened to St. Louis in 2010 is Yelp. St. Louis’s Yelp community manager, Abby, is in tune with what’s happening with St. Louis businesses, social media and marketing.
