Huge broad stroke of my first two hours:
Everyone here is really nice. When I bought an iced coffee, I asked how to find the train. The barista walked me there.
The metrolink is pretty easy. Red line and blue line, diverging at different points.
Some guy on the train started talking to me. He didn't look crazy so I talked back. He told me where to avoid (east StL) and pointed it out on the map. For trendy neighborhoods, he suggested Central West End. The people are really nice.
Central West End is the love child of SoHo and Lincoln Park. Trendy, cute and uber fun.
Also in CWE these epic manor houses. Fuckin gorgeous.
Right when I got off the train and began walking to the CWE proper, there was the St. Nicholas festival, a smallish street fest with lots of Mediterranean food. The kabobs were delicious.
Per suggestion from coworker Jason at the Drunken Fish, uber cute and trendy sushi restaurant. Chatted with the waitress about my adventure. She suggested Delmar Loop for some downtown action (and a comic shop suggestion from Erik at Chicago Comics should be there). Also told me that Muddy Waters is this weekend. SERIOUSLY?! She gave me directions to everywhere. Did I mention that people here are really nice?
Arite gonna eat my sushi. Having a great day so far
