What did you do this weekend.

Just a question as I am certain all of us in some way or another went about our daily lives independent and unaware that we all seemed to follow the same script.

I like many needed to run a few errands this weekend. I needed to purchase groceries, I went out to eat; I visited family, went out with friends, and I attended church.

Though not always practical for many reasons all of these activities were located within walking or a reasonable biking distance from where I live.

How many items of the every sort not including your employment isolate you from your community and pin you to the automobile.

This weekend Sara and I learned that behind the Urban Eats Cafe at 3301 Meramec there was the original street car turn around loop for the grand route. What a shame to no longer have such a great and simple transit system in our city and ironic too as my step mother pointed out that many street cars across the county (including in San Fransisco still in operation) were originally made by the St. Louis Street car company.
