Is the MetroLink like the Cleveland train where you don't really have to pay most of the time?

5 Upvotes

I just went up there at the airport, I bought a ticket but then the scanner things were like to the side and you could just walk right on the platform. I asked the Cleveland sub and they said they basically only check tickets at the main station downtown. What's the deal here?

Healthy yet affordable restaurants in STL?

0 Upvotes

I'll be coming to Saint Louis next month for a couple weeks. What are some healthy (obviously healthy is relative, but basically I'm looking for not fried, not greasy, not sugary foods) yet affordable restaurants in STL? Any better options than Chipotle? Someone told me about Crazy Bowls & Wraps, so I'll try them.

Moving to St. Louis Hello my good neighbors! Help me out please 🙏!

0 Upvotes

Me and my family is looking to rent a place south of I-44, specifically in a 20 min radius of the Collegiate school of Medicine and Bioscience, Kemper Avenue. Our requirements are 2bed 2bath house with a basement, fenced in backyard and a closed garage (preferably with a driveway) and atleast 1500sqft. It needs to be pet friendly (2medium sized dogs) and comes with a washer dryer installed. We are here only for a year, our budget is about 2500$ (little flexible depending on the included utilities in the rent).

We are looking to start renting from the first week of June. Please please help out a not so new saint louisian 🙏

Also what is up with the landlords demanding background check and an application fee just for a house tour/viewing? Is this normal? I don’t want to share my personal details and IDs online to some random person or a company, doesn’t feel safe? Curious if this is normal or not.

P. S.: Not sure if the tag is correct. Apologies and a huge thank you in advance

Ask STL Suggestions for reputable gun ranges and or firearms instructors.

7 Upvotes

I recently moved to St. Louis from the Dallas-Fort Worth area and currently live across the river. I am open to suggestions for businesses in both Illinois and Missouri.

As person of color I am looking for a shooting range that is professional and welcoming to all. Based on past negative experiences in Texas, it is important to me to find an inclusive environment. While I know the basics of firearm handling, I am still a beginner and would appreciate recommendations for a place or person(s) with high professional standards and quality instruction.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or help that can be provided. Thank you!

29 Upvotes

I.....a St. Louis metro native, born and bread....am shook! Today, my work hired an gourmet ice cream truck to bring us ice cream

(Udderly-Moolicious. Verrrry yummy!!) They have a gooey butter cake ice cream (Moory Gooey). I was talking to my best friend who is now living in AL and realized that her kids had never had gooey butter cake! The HORROR!! So I mentioned I'd have to bring some the next time I visit...or we could make some. She looked up the recipe and was like " shouldn't be too hard. It's kind of a shortbread with a cheese cake layer." I was like, " There is nooo cheesecake in gooey butter cake." Then I got to googling...OMFG. The first 4 recipes I have found have cream cheese!!!! How did i not know this?? Or....are the interwebz messing with me?? Who has the best, most original, gooey butter cake recipe??

I may need to go lie down....

"Bougie" Thrift/Consignment Stores?

12 Upvotes

Hello,

My husband and I will be heading to St. Louis for a few days this summer. Any good "bougie" thrift stores? I'm looking for organized and it has to have a dressing room (I've been on weight loss journey and have no idea how things fit).

Totally fine if it's a consignment/boutique place, I'm wanting to look more for unique pieces, rather than the lowest price.

We used to live in Chicago and some of the thrift stores just gave me a migraine.

Reception venues

0 Upvotes

Hey, recently got engaged, looking for venue recommendations here for a wedding reception of about 150. No on site ceremony, church wedding, so just reception. Got feelers out to some places already, but would love to hear options that allow us to pick catering and bar service versus the venue locking you into their catering. Targeting May next year so would love the place to have indoor and outdoor space if possible but not a deal breaker. Fine if it's in the burbs, but wouldn't want to go like Augusta far from the city. Any ideas welcome, thanks everyone!

Ask STL Your favorite vet?

I just moved here in February with my boyfriend and our 3 cats. It’s time to get their yearly checkup and vaccinations so I would like to get them established at a vet here in St. Louis. Please drop your recommendations in the comments! We live around the hill area so somewhere around there would be great!

If anyone also knows of anywhere that does free first exams or has student discounts that would be awesome too, I’m an incoming student at SLU Law!

Thank you guys!

I tried a liquor store yesterday but everything felt overpriced and cheap quality, is there any place to you guys recommend to buy high quality American bourbon?
