Book Description
A crossroads energy is the heart and soul of the Missouri Ozarks, where earthquakes, monster lore and UFO sightings are as familiar as limestone bluffs along historic Route 66. When Momo the Missouri Monster materialized amid auditory phenomena and UFO sightings, mayhem consumed a sleepy river town. The Joplin Spook Light has appeared nightly for more than a century. At sunset, park guards at the legendary Zombie Road turn away ghost hunters for their own good. Learn about how historic earthquakes reversed the flow of the Mississippi River. See Missouri native Mark Twain's lifelong interest in the paranormal following a lucid prophetic dream. Join Cynthia Carroll--author, tour director and sixth-generation native--as your guide through the magic of the Missouri Ozarks.

Book Description
Locals know it, and newcomers learn it fast: we live in one of America's great cities. Beyond the obvious and outside your own daily routine, wouldn't it be great to have an insider's view into all the great neighborhoods around town? Finally, you can. With the arrival of "Finally! A Locally Produced Guidebook to St. Louis, By and For St. Louisans, Neighborhood By Neighborhood," you can get the skinny on exploring our town, from the Metro East to the urban core to daytrips worth the drive. Folks often say St. Louis is a city of neighborhoods, each with its own character (and characters!); let this be your handbook to the highlights and hidden treasures of them all. Our opinionated overview points out the best dining, dives, shopping and gawking, from just-so touches for the home to cool gifts for kids to the no-sign bars and restaurants no tourist would ever find. Tidbits of local lore are sprinkled throughout: want to see where a young Steve McQueen filmed one of his first breakout roles? Get contact caffeination from a district of coffee roasters? Partake of an absinthe cocktail, spiked milkshake or salt-therapy session? Catch a drag show? Eat cheap pizza? Finally, you've got an in-the-know best friend at your fingertips.

Book Description
From its earliest days as Old Frenchtown, Soulard, St. Louis, has embodied a bold and colorful tapestry of immigrant life in America. With remarkable depth, authors Montesi and Deposki have detailed the birth, destruction, and final restoration of this historic area through over 200 photographs. Bequeathed by the widow of surveyor Antoine Soulard to the city of St. Louis in 1842, what was once a plot of land intended for a vegetable market became a center of a community of popular parks, breweries, churches, and shops. Masses of Eastern European immigrants flocked to Soulard, just outside downtown St. Louis, to start a new life of hope and growth. German, Irish, Italian, and Czech influences can be seen here in the images of the infamous "brew barons," horse-drawn market carts, and "flounder" houses that the authors have reproduced with insightful captions. Captured here in original photographs is the inescapable fury of the Great Cyclone of 1896 that destroyed the area but not its clenched-fist determination to survive. Montesi and Deposki take us on a heroic journey through the annals of time to discover the tenacious heart of a neighborhood now known as St. Louis' most popular venue for jazz and blues

Book Description
In the South Side, there lived a tactless TV guy who had a way of getting tossed out of everything on camera, from the old VP Fair to Bill Clinton’s 1996 local re-election victory party. On the South Side, there dwelt a collector of ancient vacuum cleaners, none of which worked when he demonstrated them before millions of guffawing viewers watching on national television. And on the South Side, a beer baron tried to fight off Prohibition with a high-class, three-sided beer hall. It’s all in the second edition of Hoosiers and Scrubby Dutch: St. Louis’s South Side. The first edition captured the essence of the South St. Louis, with its tales of women scrubbing steps ever Saturday, the yummy brain sandwich, and a nationally known gospel performer who ran a furniture store in the Cherokee neighborhood. These stories, along with the new ones that fill the second edition, convey what gives a truly unique place its rough but charming personality. The result—Holy Hoosiers!—is an edition that’s even better than the first!
