Strassenfest!

If you are destined for a visit to the Lou this weekend, you can’t do much better than the steaming heat of downtown mixed with brats, kraut, beer, beer, and beer, oom-pah music and people in lederhosen: www.strassenfest.org.

When I return on Monday from the St. Louis-German version of a communal sweat lodge, I’ll give you an update of more exciting home renovations: the big new vintage sign being placed on Powell for all to see driving up and down Grand Ave.
