Canada Place is like a convention center, hotel, and cruise ship terminal rolled into one. There are some decent restaurants here and close-by access to an underground shopping area with fast foods, etc. Also, this is the main access point for the hop-on-hop-off bus taking one around Vancouver and Stanley Park. Most of the more interesting stuff happens outdoors rather...
I've visited this McDonald's numerous times over several decades. You can't miss it driving by on I-70. The service is virtually always quick and the staff are friendly. If you are passing by on I-70 and want a quick meal, consider this McDonald's.
Quail Ridge Park used to be a place that was privately owned and was known for it's horseback trail rides. It is now a county park with a fenced-in dog run, numerous pavilions, and kid's playgrounds. Quail Ridge Park is a nice place to take the kids and have a family picnic.
River Front Park is not much of a park but it has one big thing going for it: the Mississippi River. Stop by River Front Park and watch the waters go by. The park itself isn't in the best shape but a visit to Clarksville (or any river town) should include a stop on the riverfront.
Navy Pier has a bit of something for everyone from kids to adults. It is somewhat like an outdoor mall with water on three sides. There are tour boats and sailing boats to ride out into Lake Michigan. Navy Pier is definitely on my top 10 list of attractions for Chicago.
This is a nice hotel as you would expect from Kimpton. The rooms are rather small but well designed to utilize the space available. I would consider this a business hotel. There are not a lot of restaurants in the area but if you expand your radius a block or two you will find an adequate amount of restaurants. Their...
Jimmy John's sandwiches were made very quickly, the staff all looked nice, and the facility was clean. It is hard to see this shop from the road (you can just see the back side) but they are on Ronald Reagan Drive just across from Sports Authority and in the same building as Cold Stone Creamery.
370 Lakeside Park RV & Campground is operated by the city of St. Peters, Missouri. The park is located in the flood plain north of Cave Springs at I-70. Just take the Cave Springs exit from I-70 and head north. The road runs right into the park. The park lake is about 140 acres and...
I just recently heard of Los Portales so we gave them a visit. Essentially, the restaurant occupies what used to be a gas station/mini-mart type of building. It is sort of nice to have the covered area where the gas pumps used to be acting like a garage. Outside, Los Portales also has a fenced in patio area with lights...
I've been to the drive through at this White Castle in Wentzville several times over the past couple of years. I've never been inside so I cannot say anything about the restaurant facility. But I've always had quick and friendly service at the drive through here and my visit this evening to this White Castle was of that same caliber....
We visited Balaban's for lunch on a weekday. The outlet's space is about 75% dedicated to wine racks with wines for sale. Only a smaller portion of the area is set aside for eating. Balaban's also has a fairly large wine bar plus a deli area. I'm assuming that in the evenings they lean more towards wine drinking here. ...
I've eaten at this Red Robin a few times now and have always had good experiences with the staff and the cleanliness of the facility. However, I find the Red Robin meal prices are somewhat high considering what you get.
