The crazy robot across the street?
That's Joe's Cafe, Sculpture Garden, and Art Gallery—the creations of City Museum co-founder Bill Christman. He also happened to help curate our upstairs Airbnb's.
If it's a Thursday night, see if there is a music show there, it will be an unforgettable experience. Usually Thursday nights, usually $10 at the door and bring your own food and drink.

Getting Around
The closest Metrolink (light rail) stop to our place. 5 min walk.
This is the red line, that connects to Lambert Airport, and also the Amtrak/Greyhound station downtown.
Metrolink is not expansive, but it is great for getting around the Central Corridor (Clayton, U-City/Loop/Wash U, Central West End/Med Center, Midtown/SLU, Downtown).
You can bring bikes on all buses and Metrolinks in STL.
