The Essential St. Louis The weather in St. Louis in September just flat out beats the rest of the year. That's why there are so many festivals crammed into one short month. But there's so much more to do: concerts at the Fox Theatre, dance at the Touhill Performing Arts Center, baseball at Busch Stadium. And, by the way, baseball fans...

90 MINUTES IN:

Cardinals Hall of Fame One of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball (1892), the St. Louis Cardinals won the first of its eleven World Series titles (more than any team not named the New York Yankees) in 1926, when, in the ninth inning of the seventh game, Cards up 3-2 against the Yankees, second-baseman/manager Rogers Hornsby tagged out none other than Babe Ruth inexplicably stealing second base for the third out. You can relive this and many other stellar moments in baseball history at the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum, in Ballpark village across the street from Busch Stadium, packed to the gills with memorabilia, video clips, stadium models and tributes to Cardinal greats like Ozzie Smith, Bob Gibson and the greatest of them all, Stan Musial.

Urban Explorer

If it's your first visit to St. Louis, you really shouldn't miss (1) Missouri History Museum, the perfect place in which to get a sense of local history: Lewis & Clark, 1904 World's Fair, Charles Lindbergh and Civil Rights. And you certainly don't want to pass up the (2) National Blues Museum, where besides diving into the colorful history of this uniquely American art form, you can compose, record and mix your own blues riff. Nothin' sad about that. Then take a spin through the South Main district in (3) Historic St. Charles, Missouri's largest historic district, where you can walk in the footsteps of Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Daniel Boone, visit Missouri's First State Capitol, shop in the charm of 19th century architecture, gaze at the Missouri River and so much more.

In St. Louis, we love free stuff, and not just because we're cheap. We embrace the idea that the least privileged among us should have access to our best cultural resources, and visitors to the city benefit from our generous regional ethos. (1) Laumeier Sculpture Park , for example, offers the work of some 60 internationally recognized artists scattered around the 98-acre grounds, in and out of the woods, and in a new exhibition space. The (2) Old Courthouse , one of the city's best history museums, tells the extraordinary tale of Dred Scott, who initiated his suit for freedom here and took the case all the way to the Supreme Court. Just blocks from the Old Courthouse, the (3) Inside the Economy Museum, in the Federal Reserve, totally explains the economy and our place in it.

St. Louis, like most urban centers, is a city of neighborhoods, each with its distinctive vibe. Here are three you shouldn't miss. The sophisticated (1) Central West End offers a nice collection of boutiques, galleries and attractions (Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, World Chess Hall of Fame) among some of the best restaurants in town. (2) The Loop, named one of the Ten Best Streets in America, delivers a super-fun combo of iconoclastic shops, art galleries, cinema, live-music clubs and more, soon to be connected to Forest Park by a street car. (3) Soulard, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, boasts Soulard Farmers Market (the oldest such place west of the Mississippi), lots of intimate live-music clubs, and one of the biggest Mardi Gras celebrations north of Bourbon Street.
