Does anyone know if they decorate the St Louis Arch for Christmas.? -

Any other wonderful light displays in St louis would be appreciated.

No because all of the decorations would get stolen.Go to Our lady of the Snows Shrine in Belleville, IL. It s just across the river. It s probably the best in the metro area. Just don t get lost and don t stop to ask anyone for directions on the way there. It s all highway. If you find yourself in the city somewhere just keep driving until you get out safely.

Its a bit big to wrap in ribbon or garland and no place to put a tree on the top but they do usually change the color of the lights to red and green for the holiday season.

lol. no. but there is the lumiere right next to it and it lights up red and green and white for christmas. it s still really pretty downtown though =]

no, but they do change the color of the lights shining on it from below for the holidays.

The only lit it once pink for breast cancer awareness

12 GalaxiesMassive indie club features art rock.Bar/Club2565 Mission StSan Francisco, CA 94110415.970.9777 The second floor is also a safe place to slither if you ve dared to come dressed in Banana Republic or anything featuring natural fibers. There s a pool table, and a touch more social interaction. 12 Galaxies makes you feel like there s a virtual universe of hipster happenings. 12 Galaxies is a one-of-a-kind space, and the owners have done a beautiful job of restoring it. -- Arne JohnsonView MapBoom Boom RoomCozy blues club in a neighborhood with history.Bar/Club1601 FillmoreSan Francisco, CA 94101415.673.8000 The late blues master John Lee Hooker opened the Boom Boom as an informal place for people to get together and listen to blues. It s attitude-free and simple enough for anyone to feel comfortable - - but there s a lot of history here. Not only was it founded by a blues great, but the club s location (between Japantown and the Fillmore Auditorium in what s now referred to as the Western Addition) is also significant. In the 1940s and 1950s, the neighborhood was the heart of West Coast blues, known as the Fillmore. Hooker chose the address because it used to be one of his favorite clubs. The razing of the district for urban renewal forced most of the clubs, and many of the residents, out of the city entirely. The Fillmore Auditorium Music lives on at this historic San Francisco music venue.Theater1805 Geary Blvd.San Francisco, CA 94115415.346.6000 Music promoter Bill Graham is the man generally credited with making the Fillmore the San Francisco rock institution that it is today. In the 60s, Graham brought Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and other influential rock bands here, making the Fillmore home base for the San Francisco psychedelic-rock scene.After a several-year hiatus in the 80s, the Fillmore emerged as one of San Francisco s most prominent hosts for touring acts. The dark, cavernous space is mostly standing (or dancing) room only, with a few, highly coveted cocktail tables on the upstairs balcony. The heavy curtains, candelabras and red tones of the interior give it an intimate ambience. You can see the acts fairly well from any point, but bring earplugs in case you end up next to a speaker.When you enter, stop to admire the scores of psychedelic rock posters adorning the walls. And, feel free to grab an apple from the barrel in the foyer, which has been a Fillmore tradition since it opened. -- Jim Christie Want more visit
