St Louis pizza, or at least Imo's, is pretty unique.  Very thin crust, not much sauce and gummy Provelone cheese.

I like it, it's great stuff, but it's just different.  I wish I could get an Imo's now.

Other things -- Ted Drewes.  I don't know if Jack and Charlies is still in Clayton, but they used to make an excellent corned beef sandwich.  The Zoo, the Botanical Gardens and the City Museum are all pretty cool. 

Is Talayna's still around?

Congratulations on getting accepted to school.  I'm like Wombat in that this thread makes me realize I wasted my youth.  I've only been in St. Louis once for an afternoon so I don't have any advice to offer you.  Good luck.

The original Talayna's is gone gone gone.  It is the saddest thing.   Man I loved that place.

I have a good friend who works at Webster U. in St. Louis, and he takes all out-of-town visitors to Ted Drewes.

My Jane & Michael Stern restaurant guide says there's a place in St. Louis where you can get fried pig snout sandwiches.  I tried to get my friend to take me there, but he refused.

Oh, now there's a substance I'd like to get the chance to abuse.

Since there isn't really another way to utilize beverage alcohol and marijuana, I object strongly to the notion that any substance was abused during my college career.

Oh yeah?  You could have woven that hemp into a strong yet attractive fabric and made a suit out of it.

hm, well.
I would say there is a level of pot/alchohol use which is not abusive.
but very few are content with that level, especially students.

Someone probably did make a suit out of the fibers. We only dealt with the buds.

Well, my wife is from St. Louis. I'm sure she could come up with some things for you. I applied to Wash U for law school, assume I will get in, but won't likely go there because we don't particularly want to move.

The Red Sea is a good restaurant if you are of the opinion, as I am, that Ethiopian food should make you sweat. I also noticed that they had a Two Cow Garage show there, and the idea of a Ethiopian place that hosts an awesome alt-country band is A-OK in my book.

I believe the university has its own bus route, so check along its route(s) for convenient places to live. St. Louis does not have great public transportation on the whole.

Everything said here about Imo's and Ted Drewe's is true. Imo's also makes a rather tasty, totally unhealthy salad with the same strange cheese that is on its pizza. My wife was reminiscing about a sandwich shop with a fellow Lou ex-patriot, so I will ask her about that.

Oh, what a good band name.  Do they sell tshirts?

We have a band around here called Hard Swimming giraffe that I keep missing when they play right around the corner.  I know, thinking a band will be good because you like the name is just as stupid as buying wine because it has a marsupial pictured on the label.  But I can't help it.

Indeed, I had not other ideas of how to use the substances placed in front of me. 

Also, I also thought "eww... substance abuse!" before I got accepted to university... 

Also, these food places sound delicious.

I love substances.
Way to go, man. Today is my first day back at school, so we should do some sort of luck-wish trade.
