Sound great! Come in the spring when the shows are starting back up. St Louis is about 30 miles north from me. Festus has several of the big chain motels and there's at least one or two on almost every exit going north. Arnold is the next big town north; about 15 miles from downtown. I-55 is the main highway that all the motels are on. Let me know; I'll take a day off and we'll go browse one of the old boneyards and fire the grill up.
