7 Spots You Hung Out At In South St. Louis County

Rollercade. That is all.

7 Spots You Hung Out At In South St. Louis County
Play St. Louis

If you grew up in or currently live in South St. Louis County, you are probably well aware of the fact that there really is not much to do. The beauty of this, however, is that we all spent our time doing the same things at the same places, making it so much easier to reminisce on those times together. In this following list of places, I am certain that you spent the day or evening at some, if not all of these.

1. Wehrenberg Ronnie's 20 Cine, or "Ronnie's"


I spent plenty of time and my parents' money here seeing movies I wasn't really interested in, just to have something to do or hang out with my friends. This was also the setting of countless prepubescent, awkward and sexually confused dates.

2. Rollercade

I'm getting butterflies just looking at this photo and thinking about seeing my grade school crush here when my class went. I was prepared to snatch him up when they played a romantic song for East Side West Side. I usually ended up holding hands and skating with one of my friends because it was fifth grade and the boys thought we were gross. It was a popular choice for birthday parties.

3. Tee Time

This was an absolute wonderland of fun. There is mini golf, go karts, a game room and bumper boats so that you could squirt disgusting water at your friends.

4. Resurrection Lutheran Church, or "Rez Mixers"

What you see here is a Lutheran church, but on one Friday a month it was actually a cesspool of sexual confusion. These mixers would be so popular that we forced our parents to drive up on Thursday night and buy tickets ahead of time. You also can't forget about the amount of preparation required so that all of your friends had matching and coordinating outfits for the event. $10 well spent.

5. South County Center, or "South County Mall"

The default hangout. This picture is sad because you can see the Borders going out of business. RIP.

6. The carnival in the parking lot of South County Center

I could always sense the major hesitation in my parents' response when I asked to go to this in the summer. Really, what could be more safe than a carnival in a mall parking lot?

7. Show-Me Lanes


The occasional hangout. This was a great spot for prepubescent group dates.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
