Back from work trip to Saint Louis. Short yet productive. The two best (non-work) things about going there: the food and Fantasy Shop.
Following my usual philosophy of not eating some place we have here while out of town, Nathan (co-worker) and I ended up going to 54th Street (been there a few times before), Bandana's BBQ (1st time), Smokey Bones (lots of times), and Uno's in the Chicago airport (1st) time).
Fantasy Shop we discovered on our first trip up there and loved it. We both pine for something like it down here; but unfortunately, this area is not big enough to support that level of a gaming shop. We have a good place for comics/CCGs (The Deep) and good place for wargaming (The Foundry) but not a single location for both nor a good place for the roleplayer. Both stores have a small rpg section but nothing like what Book Villa used to be. Anyway, this time, we expanded our search for gaming stores (due to extra free time) and visited 2 other Fantasy Shop locations we had not been to before. Again, we were in heaven.
