We haven't done any traveling this year, but we just went back to St. Louis where we lived for a half century to visit old friends, both the human kind as well as locations. The original Hofbrauhaus in Munich Germany that I have visited many tomes, has built a modern replica in the St. Louis area. We met up with Wes Bradley, a longtime friend and MA member to throw down some great German brew!
I haven't tasted beer like this since the last time i was in Munich.
Then we took a photo of where the old Mastercon conventions were once held. The Holiday Inn Convention center has been torn down and replaced with a Comfort Inn. Kinda sad, but that's progress!
Then to St. Charles tourist center, Main street, where the Miniature World Museum stood for many years. It is now a restaurant. We had dinner there and walked around inside looking. Many of the things that were there back in the museum days are still there. It was a nostalgic visit. Susan sitting in a booth where the old gift shop used to be.
Same place, me!
And finally, we got together with Wes Bradley and Chris Merseal of the old CRM hobbies, no longer in existence, for a meal and to talk over some great times together!
Really enjoyed this trip down memory lane. Hard to believe we moved away from here three years ago!
