The year was 1989. I was 39 years old. I had just given birth to my third child and was about to embark on my first long-distance move, from Long Island, New York, to St. Louis, Missouri.

I was relatively naive about the United States. I...

Pros: FREE, interesting and informative exhibits, good for a whole day of playing
Cons: Admission charge for theatres (but this is reasonable)

All right, the gig is up. In one of my last reviews, I claimed I was a science center junkie and that I'd been to six or seven in the past year. Yet, I've only reviewed three of them. I decided to step up to the challenge and review as many as I could...

At 911 N. 12th Street in St. Louis, you will find a house that once belonged to none other than Stag Lee Sheldon. If you know anything about music, you know Stag Lee was the one who shot and killed another man during a barroom dispute.
