Kathleen Hanrahan's Travel Pages - St. Louis

St. Louis is not what I would call a Coke city. I had a VERY tough time finding my DCNI (Diet Coke no ice).

Brett and I worked here from December 2004 through mid-March 2005. Additionally, I was here through the beginning of July 2005. And it's not much of a Diet Coke (or Coke) town. Not only did many restaurants NOT have it, but it was tough getting it at both regular and C-stores. :: sigh! :: Over all, though, St. Louis had good food.

Useful travel links (for me):
