Oh, and same owner- daughter of a local mobster- as Lucky's which had the same sort of homicide problem.
My mom is pretty good friends with her and I've worked with her on some graphic design projects.

The steak sandwich on garlic bread is decent. The scenery is better than decent.

I would never go to that place at night (did it once, and that was the last).
Is that the place in Soulard? Wow do I hate that place. Son of a [expletive] I hate that place like no other place I have ever visited in my life.
2nd homicide in 6 months related to this joint last night.

3am bar with prices for drinks at next to nothing = every douchebag in 20 mile radius going in his Tap-Out shirt drinking till he blacks out...

I thought she was an owner of Lure, or was it Lucky's?

Actually, I was thinking of Lure but she/they owned Lucky's and had similar problems there before it became Lure. Same crap at Dolce in prior years.

How do you get so successful at luring [expletive] heads to your establishments?

Here's a list of their entity's, could be outdated by now, they open shut and move pretty quick.

http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt ... e627e.html

The stuff they had on Wash Ave - They had under 21 nights, where the gussied-up white kids from suburbia could go there and pretend they were Jersey Shore/clubbing it. Then match this up with every douchebag gangsta in 20 mile radius that is interested in partying it down with underage girls. (glad those days are over for my stepdaughter).

can't they get nailed on fire code violations? surely there is cause.

I believe the answer is in the post directly above your's.

That was well done. The whiteys dancing to nelly was a hoot.

A few more "Sh*t St. Louisans Say" to add:

"the Nineteen Oh Farr World's Fair!"
"it's not the heeeeaat,... it's the humidity."
"Yeah I remember the Blues when they were at the Old Barn. Hull and Oates baby!"
"Stan the Man...fap fap fap..."
"Driving in snow is one thing, but BLACK IIICE!..."
"Whatever happened to Union Staaation?...but they do have that whispering wall"
" the indoor soccer Steamers would sell out the Checkerdome!"
" Didyouknow that Bob Costas/Joe Buck/Mike Matheny/etc lives in Frontenac/Town&Country/Wildwood etc?"

Guilty of at least 4 of those.

To this day I have still never heard anyone I know in STL say anything that sounds anywhere close to "Farty-Far", other than my 80+ year old grandmother.

I truly miss STL these days, though. I'd give a lot to be able to move back.

Maybe that's because you are from St. Louis and you don't hear it. I hear it in St. Louis. Maybe it is from older people - a guy I work with is from St. Louis and he clearly says it like that. But I've heard people tell me that people don't say "Farty" and then I ask them how they go to the stadium and they answer "Farty".

Not sure whre that originates either. but like you I recall hearing it from old-timers. The particular person I'm thinking of was a South STL product.
