7 Places To Spend The Day In St. Louis That AREN'T The Arch Or The City Museum
Kiara Laack

Looking for a few places to go in St. Louis this summer? Well, I have the list for you. Instead of going to the same places like the City Museum, The Arch, or Forest Park again, try going to these places instead!

1. Cathedral Basilica

Whether you're religious or not, the architecture and atmosphere of the cathedral is absolutely stunning. The pictures really do not do them justice!

2. Turtle Park

This little park is great for people of all ages. It's quaint and located just across the highway from The St. Louis Zoo (Which is ranked 4th best zoo in the nation and is free btw)!

3. The Fountain on Locust

This place is definitely my favorite eatery in the St. Louis area. Not only does it have awesome food, but they serve incredible ice cream. My favorite thing to get there is their "Sundae Gambler," which is a random sundae that the bartender makes for you. You never know what you're going to get, but it always comes out tasting delicious! Not to mention, if you're in the mood, they also serve ice cream cocktails.

4. Washington Ave.

If you're looking to do some walking around, Washington Avenue is a great place to go. It has a bunch of great eateries, shopping areas, and pubs.

5. The Soulard Market

If you're looking to get a real taste of St. Louis, the Soulard Market is definitely the place to go. Filled with great food, great people, and great atmosphere, Soulard definitely brings in the vibes of StL.

6. Graffiti Wall

Filled with artwork from various artists, Graffiti Wall seems to stretch on for miles. Located right next to The Arch, you'll definitely have fun here finding great spots to take pictures and take in the artwork!

7. South Grand Boulevard

S. Grand is one of the many cultural hubs of StL. walking down the street you can find all kinds of ethnic food from Ethiopian, Argentinian, Mediterranean, Korean and many other different kinds of food. You'll have a hard time even deciding on where to go!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
