MISSOURIS
COASTER CAPITAL
With the addition of its ninth roller
coaster, Six Flags St. Louis cements
its reign as the home to more roller
coasters than any other theme park
in Missouri. The newest steel coaster,
Boomerang, opens in spring 2013
and will send riders soaring through
1,650 feet of steel twists, turns and
inversions at up to 50 mph. The trains
are pulled backward up a 125-foot lift
hill before being launched through a
half loop, a right half corkscrew, a left
half corkscrew, another half loop and
nally a full loop before climbing a
second lift hill. Staying true to its name,
Boomerang will then take riders full
circle by blasting them back through
the twists, turns and inversions
againbackward.
SPLISH SPLASH
Now you can come face-to-face with some of the Saint Louis Zoos
most popular animal residents. Visitors cant get enough of the newest
wet and wild exhibit, Sea Lion Sound. Rising over the central hub of the
zoo in Forest Park, the 1.5-acre, $18 million habitat includes a 35-foot-
long underwater viewing tunnelthe rst in North Americawhere
visitors will see the animals swimming around them. Marine-mammal
residents include 11 California sea lions and four harbor seals. An 811-
seat arena offers shows where the marine mammals will display their
natural swimming, diving, balancing and sliding behaviors daily during
the summer and in weekend shows in the spring and fall. Daily sea-lion
feedings and keeper chats also get visitors close to the sleek and powerful
animals. General admission to the Saint Louis Zoo is always free.

Now you can see more of the world-
class collection at the Saint Louis

The museums highly anticipated
expansion opens in late June of
2013, adding more than 200,000 sq.
ft. to the famed institution. What is
the venerable museum doing with
30 percent more space, designed
by noted British architect Sir David
Chippereld? New galleries, an
underground parking facility, a
caf and a restaurant are just the
beginning. The project also includes
renovation of more than 13,000 sq.
ft. in the existing structure as well
as a Grand Stair transition between
the expansion and the current
museum. The $162-million project
means visitors will now be able to
view more works from the museums
collection that places it among the
top 10 comprehensive art museums in
the nation. Called the East Building,
the expansions exterior nish is
dark, polished concrete and Missouri
River aggregate. Skylights and oor-
to-ceiling windows enhance the
space. Hungry art lovers will enjoy
the new restaurant, which overlooks
the lush vista of Art Hill. A new
outdoor sculpture by renowned
British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy
consisting of 24 ten-foot high Arches
will be housed in a new courtyard
that joins the Main Building and the
new East Building. Admission to the
Saint Louis Art Museum is always free.

BIG NAMES HAIL FROM THE VILLE
St. Louis current nickname might be
The Lou, but in years past it was The
Ville that had everyone talking about our
community. This neighborhood north-
west of downtown produced some of the
nations most notable bold-face names

and rock n roll legend Chuck Berry.
Sports received tennis great Arthur
Ashe from The Ville. Activist and civil
rights leader Dick Gregory also called
this neighborhood home.
Women became more condent
thanks to a Ville entrepreneur named
Annie Turnbo Pope Malone, who made
millions creating and selling beauty
products. Her bequests are still changing
lives today with a childrens home that
bears her name and an annual parade
and festival held in her honor.
The Ville was home to early and
important institutions, including Homer
G. Phillips Hospital, a teaching hospital
for African-American medical profes-
sionals, and Sumner High School, the
rst high school for blacks west of the
Mississippi River. Churches established
in the neighborhood in the 19th century
are still important parts of the commu-
nity today.

honored on the Ville Monument at the

History of the Area
During the last 40 years, the Delmar
Loop has evolved into one of the
most vibrant and entertaining areas
in the United States.
he gradual turnaround of he
Loop began in the early 1970s with
legislation that limited occupancy of
rst oor storefronts to retail shops,
galleries and restaurants to attract more
pedestrians. Nationally renowned res-
taurant and music club Blueberry Hill
was the rst of a new era of unique
owner-operated businesses.
he sidewalks along Delmar Blvd.
were widened to encourage foot trac
and outdoor cafs.
In the 1980s dusk-to-dawn lights,
trash receptacles and ower plant-
ers were added to make he Loop
brighter, cleaner and more colorful.
he non-prot St. Louis Walk of
Fame was founded and became a uni-
fying attraction for the area. Now more
than 130 stars and informative plaques
are embedded in the sidewalks.
In the 1990s the Delmar Loop
MetroLink station opened. Visitors
can ride a clean, quick light-rail train
right to he Loop and begin their
visit by walking west.
In 1995 the elegant Tivoli Movie
heatre was beautifully restored and,
along with many new git shops and
clothing boutiques, signaled that he
Loop had arrived.
Expansion into the City of St. Louis
started in 2000 with the grand open-
ing of he Pageant, a 2,000+ capacity
concert nightclub that has featured
artists such as Bob Dylan, Outkast,
Green Day, Dolly Parton and Foo
Fighters. Many consider he Loop to
be the live music center of St. Louis
with 10 stages on which you can
enjoy music of all genres. Soon
ater, Pin-Up Bowl bowling and mar-
tini lounge opened.
Exciting new attractions include the
luxury boutique Moonrise Hotel and
casual ne dining Eclipse Restaurant;
the Delmar Loop Planet Walk in which
one can take a 3 billion mile walk
(2,880 feet) from the Sun to Neptune,
enjoying the scale model of the solar
system; the new Chuck Berry Statue,
an eight-foot bronze statue dedicated
to the Father of Rock & Roll; and the
Centennial Greenway bicycle and pe-
destrian trail. In spring of 2014 a new
xed-track historic trolley will connect
he Loop with two MetroLink stations
and Forest Park attractions.

Everyone wants to know about how
St. Louis was founded, says Christine. I
tell them the story of Pierre Laclede and
the French heritage of our town while we
ride along the river.
Her horse Curley is a big, dark
Percheron. Theyre known as the gentle
giants of the horse world, she explains.
On work days Curley is decked out in
colorful braids and a variety of equine
bling, including a halter that sports his
name in silver. The inseparable duo have
been showing St. Louis to visitors at a
clip-clop pace for 14 years.
I tell all my passengers that they have
to go see the Arch and theyre surprised
you can actually ride to the top for a great
view of St. Louis.
Other attractions on her tip list include
City Museum (theres no other place
like it) and a Gateway Riverboat cruise.
She also recommends a visit to see the
Clydesdalesthe kings of St. Louis
horsesat the Anheuser-Busch Brewery
tour or at Grants Farm.

EVAN MAKOVSKY
Hes young, single and host of his own
show on a St. Louis all-sports radio
station. Evan Makovsky can talk sports,
but hes not shy about singing the praises
of his adopted hometown.
I grew up in New York, but often
visited St. Louis to visit my grandfather,
Evan says. Seeing the Arch for the irst
time as a kid was an awe-inspiring sight.
It just means St. Louis. Forest Park is
probably my favorite spot in St. Louis.
Most people dont know that its almost
twice the size of New Yorks Central Park.
Evan encourages visitors to spend
some time in his neighborhoodthe
Central West End, or CWE. Its a great
cosmopolitan area. Perfect for people
watching at a sidewalk caf and has
superb restaurants and unique shops.
His favorite CWE bar, Sub-Zero, was
frequented by Hollywood hunk
George Clooney when he was ilming
in St. Louis a few years back.
The sports expert knows the score on
where singles meet and mingle, citing
chic boutique bars in Clayton like Caf
Napoli and Barcelona, and the late-
night clubs along Washington Avenue
downtown. The Loop is hard to beat for
live music at The Pageant and Blueberry
Hill. And, Im a fanatic for the sushi at
Ginger Bistro.
For my business, Im lucky that
St. Louis is such a great sports town. For
my daily life, Im proud to now to call it
home.
MY ST. LOUIS

The dynamic duos latest

Gateway City grad-turned-Hollywood
star, Niecy Nash, plays Ceds wife on the

Will some of Erics favorite St. Louis

or the lush Cigar Club at the Ritz-
