All aboard the St. Louis Wheel at Union Station! No offense to Charles Lindbergh, but I’ve always thought of the Spirit of St. Louis as being more than just an airplane. We are a city rich in history and there’s something to be said about that fact. It makes the location for the Union Station ferris wheel even more fitting.
Spirit of St. Louis Lifts Off at Union Station Ferris Wheel
Earlier this week I had the opportunity to experience the St. Louis Wheel before it opens.
St. Louis is more than just Charles Lindbergh
The old train yard has finally been revitalized and I’m beyond thrilled about what it means for our city. We’ve all grown up hearing the stories our grandparents would tell of the marvelous Union Station back when it was in its hay day. Years from now I’ll be able to tell my grandchildren about that time when I was one of the first in St. Louis to experience the Wheel.
A mix of old and new.
