Meet Me In St Louis

 My daughter Kelly, along with boyfriend Jon, now lives in St. Louis... her home is in an area south of Tower Grove Park around Magnolia Avenue.   It is awash in carefully restored homes from the 19th and early 20th Centuries.  I love the area.   I will post more tomorrow or Monday.
