When it comes to public art and bicycles, New York City and small town Missouri seem to have a shared interest. Somewhere on the Lower East Side of Manhattan sits – for lack of a better description – a bicycle in a sweater. I wonder if someone knitted the bike at home and then brought it outside [...] Olympic National Park is on the Olympic Peninsula west of Seattle in Washington State. This national park is home to Mount Olympus, and was one of the stops along my vacation route last week. On the day we drove through the park, cloud cover blocked the view of the mountains, but that didn’t stop us from getting [...] Mountain Goat beside the sidewalk in Leavenworth My post a few days ago mentioned that you’d have to revisit my site to learn what my vacation destination was. Today I’m posting on A Small Town Girl’s Guide from a Bavarian mountain town called Leavenworth, Washington, roughly two hours east of Seattle. I’ll be rock climbing and [...] You’ve probably been dying to read about my new hobby. Ever since you saw my post earlier this week about life in Missouri being good, you’ve had trouble sleeping. You’ve tossed and turned in anticipation, wondering what this small town girl’s up to in her free time. You’ve been reprimanded by your supervisor for compulsively checking A Small [...] On Friday, May 14th, a dozen or so St. Louis-area tweeps gathered to inaugurate The Silver Ballroom, in its punk rock pinball glory, to the annals of St. Louis twitter history. I’m perpetually on the lookout for things about St. Louis that would surprise people. The Silver Ballroom certainly qualifies as a pleasant St. Louis surprise. [...] I’ve been completely surprised that two very close friends have come through the rural Midwest recently! One of those friends and I spent an afternoon in Cape Girardeau, MIssouri, where we had lunch at a Cajun restaurant called Broussard’s. If you’ll look back several posts, you’ll see the ghetto bathroom at the dive bar in St. Francois County, Missouri. [...] I experienced a bathroom in Missouri this week that was, um…notable. This particular “fine dining” establishment has opted out of ladies’ room stall doors completely, leaving the two toilets in plain view. There’s also full-length mirror in the bathroom which provides a clear reflection of yourself sitting on the closer of the two toilets. And finally, the bathroom is [...] I…am not…a morning person (insert sound effects of the snooze going off over and over and over and over again), so this is all I’ve got for you [...] Okay, that’s not true at all. I didn’t win the Race to the Rocker, but let me tell you a story about the guy who did… Cuba, Missouri’s Race to the Rocker ends at the World’s Largest Rocking Chair, adjacent to which sits the Fanning Outpost, a quirky general store where customers can potentially purchase everything from [...] On Saturday, March 13th, I ran my longest road race to date. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade Run in St. Louis is a 5-mile run that drew more than 11,000 runners this year, many of whom were decked out in their funkiest green and clovers for the race. The crowds were so heavy at the start line [...] |
