I mean, if you discount folks across the pond...
degen pulls things fairly west and north... Is PDX still living in PDX? Johnnie is in the SW, right? Drugs is in LA, correct. But then you've got Buffalo and all the NE and Mid-Atlantic guys.
*stares at map... does fake calculations*
St. Louis it is!

This would be a really fun guessing game.
Thanks for putting it all together.

I’m thinking Quad Cities area if you take the extreme of each direction. I’m going with Calgary, San Carlos, Miami, and Boston. I’m not doing the math.

PDX is in Boulder, which doesn't help anything.

Fuck, man. I'm not venturing into Western NJ! Now Scranton is a good idea, we can hit the Anthracite Heritage Museum! Many trips to visit my parents, I threaten my kids with a trip to the Anthracite Museum if they act up.

Anthracite Café (Wilkes Barre not Scranton) had a good beer list before that was commonplace (especially for back there) but then their beer list got worse as others got better so we haven’t been in a very long time.

Just don’t order any St. Louis-style pizza unless you prefer velveeta ( or provell) to cheese.
I 1000 percent plan on getting a pizza!
Get some toasted ravioli!
Also on the list!

Heading to St. Louis next week. Wife has business and I'm tagging along. Be there Tues Evening thru Friday. Maybe saturday if her meeting Friday runs long. I'm gonna work from the hotel/etc. a bit but will have time to explore. We are at the pennywell very close to the arch. Any ideas for bars/restaurants are appreciated!
For a brewery visit consider Four Hands. Location is close to downtown maybe even walkable on a nice day. Food is good there too.
If you like Cajun definitely hit up Broadway Oyster Bar. Great food and a fun atmosphere.
Good place for the best craft beer menu downtown is Hair Of The Dog. It might seem a little sketchy at first but there’s a broad mix of people there most nights.

And if you DO eat pizza go to Pi downtown on Washington St and not Imos. No Provel at Pi and the za is very very solid.

By the way, the same story about whatever the hell "apizza" is has been at the top of boston.com for like two weeks and it's apparently pronounced "ah-beetz" and it actually makes me hate Italians sorry.

I have a friend who swears he had a one-handed bartender at Four Hands.

In Victoria BC today and have to say I’ve not seen too many more lovely cities in my days.
Post-exile Scottie and I had stayed in touch a bit and I grew to know him a little better than his Swamper self. I hope he’s still here, safe and happy. I wish no ill will for any Swamper, past or present.
Except maybe zlax haha

Victoria is great. We went there for our tenth and twenty-fifth anniversaries.
And I also hope Scottie is well. I was thinking about him today after seeing a notice of a new Tragically Hip album coming.

Asked the bartender what best pizza was downtown. He told me a joint and the lady next to me freaked out. The bartender then conceded it isn’t very good but he was just being helpful.

If it helps, I'm proud of you. And a little jealous. My wife goes to St. Louis almost every month, never thought to go with her. Probably helps that your kids are out of the house, but also...St. Louis.

If you guys never made it to Chicago, let me suggest an architecture boat cruise. Just some fantastic buildings in so many different styles. I'm staying across the river from the buildings on the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot album cover (and some glass tower with TFG's name on it).

You might be in the same hotel I was in when I visited several years ago. The boat tour is awesome.

Pick up a copy of Devil in the White City if you want to get into a deep dive on Chicago architecture.

The Royal Sonesta? I'm kitty-korner to an Art Deco tower that was falsely reputed to have a speakeasy run by Al Capone on the roof.

No, I think ours was a name brand. Same area. Maybe chicago is a big city with lots of hotels and I'm stupid. No way to know.

I was the holdout on the architecture boat tour and it really was great. One huge rec is not spilling beer on your leg 3 minutes in then getting swarmed by bees until you give up and go sit on the lower deck.

We did a "let's visit Chicago as tourists" trip a few years ago, and yes, the architecture cruise was the highlight.
