Zip is 63122 to where I live which is 15 minutes from downtown. Downtown is probably not the best place to stay anyway. It is not the safest place in the world. I'm sure we could get a group rate especially from my son. He has a nice smaller 100 room Holiday Inn that is in a really good location. I could set up a couple of "meetings". Check out the net for "BB's house of Blues" and also "The Broadway Oyster Bar". BB's was featured during the Ram's superbowl run year and is currently setting up a PBS permanant HD video booth to archive Blues music. The blues can be appropriate when dealing w/ these old cars. The Oyster Bar is a great place. Both are within a block of the ballyard. Also both are clients and we could get a rate for a group for sure. Jeannie and I will also be more than happy to host a BBQ at our place provided no one would be offended by a half barrel of Tommy Schafley's pale ale. It is definately a large step above our local macro-brew. Basic rules are: no peeing in the hot tub and that's pretty much it.
