Hello St Louis

Sorry for not getting a post up since before Christmas. Like most of you the Christmas holidays keep ya busy with socializing with family and friends. I enjoyed the time with them and I hope you all around St Louis enjoyed your family & friends over the holiday.

I like to talk a bit about lifestyles in St Louis. With many different communities around town we have to remember to get back to actually being a part of the community. By becoming a part of the community it will help stimulate your mind and you might find some new friends along the way.

I know this to be true since I was around my families kids over the holiday. It makes me think. when I was young, we always used a land line to talk or gather at a friends house.

I was kicking around on the local blogsphere and found a couple of other interesting articles about communities of the past. I hope ya enjoy them!
