A walk in Town and Country

It has been a long time since we walked in the Grand Center and St Louis University area. Meet at the Contemporary Art Museum, 3750 Washington Ave, St. Louis, MO 63108. Check out the map in this meetup post. You can park on both sides of Washington Ave where I have marked with yellow lines. The lines start at the crosswalk in front of the Pulitzer Art Foundation and go west on Washington Ave.
We will walk past many of St Louis’ landmarks including: The Fox Theater, Nine PBS, The St Louis University Museum of Art, Powell Hall, The Sheldon Concert Hall and the Dark Room at The Grandel. We will not have time to go inside, but you can return at a later time. There are a number of restaurants in the area for lunch.
See the attached parking map. Do not block driveways and pay attention to no parking areas.
Any questions let me know 314-306-3222
What to bring:

• WATER – THIS IS IMPORTANT ALL YEAR LONG AND ESPECIALLY IN THE WARMER MONTHS. WE WILL USUALLY BE OUT FOR AT LEAST 1 ½ HOURS AND THAT IS TOO LONG TO GO WITHOUT REPLENISHING THE LIQUIDS THAT YOU WILL BE BURNING WHILE WALKING.

– I AVOID DRINKING CAFFEINATED BEVERAGES BEFORE WALKING. . THE ARE A LOT OF GOOD ARTICLES ABOUT “effects of caffeine and exercise” ON THE INTERNET OR ASK YOU DOCTOR.

• During hot weather wear clothing that is light weight, light colored and loose fitting and drink plenty of water. Wear a hat.
• I recommend broken in hiking shoes over Tennis shoes. A lot of the trails are over loose gravel and dirt and the treads on the hiking boots work much better.
• Snacks – EAT LIGHTLY BEFORE THE WALK AND BRING A POWER BAR OR SNACK TO MUNCH ON DURING THE WALK.

After the walk we will for some talk, food and drink.

Meetup Donation: Meetup charges me $179 every six months to have the Walking site. If you would like to donate $1 at some of the walks, it will be appreciated.
