As I mentioned in a previous post, we had been jonesin' to see the Eero Saarinen exhibit at the Kemper Art Museum in St. Louis. This morning we headed to the city and made a few stops (and discoveries) along the way. We first landed at the City Museum. This is an amazing place that's basically an indoor and outdoor urban playground assembled from you-name-it salvaged architectural structures. We took the above photograph to show a portion of the outdoor play structure. On the ground floor, there's a ball cage connected to five stories of tunnels, towers, salvaged fighter jets, and slides. Oh, and there's more...but I'll just leave it there for now. Next, we stopped at UMA (Urban Materials and Accessories), a very cool store. After that, we made it to the Saarinen exhibit. Finally, we headed over to Delmar Street Loop to grab a bite before we left for home. This was a great find for us. Basically, it is a six-block section of Delmar Street filled with shops, restaurants, and clubs. Highlights include: City Sprouts (baby), Blueberry Hill (food), Pin-up Bowl (bowling), Subterranean Books (books), Ziezo (clothing), Componere (gallery) and Good Works (furniture). We'll be heading back for more.
