Edward Jones dome

St. Louis is also home to the St. Louis RAm's whose home field is the Edward Jones dome.

 Although they have had a tough few years lately, most of us fondly remember the "Greatest Show on Turf" back when Warner was our quarterback.

St. Louis Union Station

 Another popular place near down town is St. Louis Union Station.  It is  a National Historic Landmark and was a passenger train terminal. Once the world's largest and busiest train station, it was converted in the early 1980s into a luxury hotel, shopping center, and entertainment complex.

Walking around the park

At the entrance to the park from Hampton avenue there's this interesting sculpture.

 love just walking around the park in early Spring when flowers spring to life again.

The new craze in 2014 is all the food trucks, so where there are a lot of people hanging out outdoors, there are now food trucks, like here by the Twilight Tuesday concert.

There are also miles of biking and walking paths throughout the park.
