The Fabulous Fox Theater

I've mentioned to people my entertainment with St Louis business names. They do not mess around. You name a place by who owns it and/or what it does. Pappy's Smokehouse, Ted's Frozen Custard, Standard Artificial Limb (REAL!). Hell, Panera is called The Atlantic Bread Company.

So, The FABULOUS Fox Theater. Turns out it's damn fabulous indeed. Built 1920-30s, much like all theaters from that age (think Orpheum), but bigger - seats 4200. And it's nice and shiny, refurbished in full within last twenty, lobby redone after small fire few years back. Just a pretty, big-ass theater used year-round, concerts in the summer/fall, broadway type shows winter/spring.

Urban Chestnut Brewing Company

St Loius, MO. Nice place. Not a brew pub, but a tasting room with some appetizers, including a weisswurst with mustard and roll that almost makes me wish I hadn't had that second half-rack of ribs.
Anyway, nice presentation, nice beer, nice meat and cheese platter, nice beer so far sampled. Nice, that describes it. Nothing special, nothing horrible.

Back in St Louis

Which automatically means in line for BBQ at Pappy's. This is the line outside to get to the line inside. I figure an hour to get my food, completely expected for Saturday noon.
