We just spent the weekend driving from Fredericksburg to St.
Louis and back (for Mary's parents 60th anniversary). We stayed a night in Louisville because we wanted to eat at 610 Magnolia. The meal was very good, but we
wished that there had been more Smoke
and Pickles. We stayed a few blocks away from the restaurant at the Culbertson Mansion on 3rd
Street, one of the many amazing homes built along that street in the 1880s and
1890s. Our brief stay made me curious about the economic history of Louisville,
particularly the Southern
Exposition.
In St. Louis, we discovered the Urban Chestnut Brewing Company. While
living in München in the summer of 1997 I discovered that I had a taste for weissbier, and Urban
Chestnut makes a very good one, though
Schneider Weisse is still my favorite. If you are in St. Louis, the food at
their Bierhall is also quite good.
