O'Day Park in rural O'Fallon, located off Highway DD, is a newer park aimed at younger kids and families. If you look at the pictures, there are so many fun things for kids to do. Browse through all the pictures to get a better idea of all the fun available. There are normal flush toilets with sinks. Also, there is...
This venue is what it looks like: tables on a concrete pad covered by a metal rooftop. There's not a lot here but if you enjoy sitting next to the river it's an interesting place to visit. We've visited this location several times over the years and it just keeps expanding. Prices are also...
Although I didn't visit here with an RV, I did visit to check it out for future reference. All I can say is that this is an urban RV Center with few facilities.
We visited The Corner Pub and Grill on a Saturday evening about an hour before closing. We were impressed with the restaurant as a whole and with the service from our waitress, Megan. We did find the chicken nuggets somewhat pricey at about a buck each. But we'll be back to check out other...
I haven't been to Bristol for several years. Everything seemed to be in a time lapse where nothing has changed, which is good. The food was excellent and our server, Jeff, was tops! I've never had a bad experience at this restaurant.
It's not a very interesting cemetery but it is historical for this area as much historically surrounds the Howell family. Sadly, there is a monument to a soldier who died just a week after the signing of the armistice in November, 1918.
Sorry, I don't see how this restaurant gets anywhere near a 4.0 rating. It is rundown and the food is just so-so. I believe that I am being kind giving it a 3.0 rating.
I was walking around the Redondo Beach Pier with a family member who used to live in this area. She liked this restaurant as it has great 'finger-licking' fish dishes that are served at your table in a plastic bag. You share the contents which include various types of fish and veggies such as potato chunks. Fun! ...
For me, I always tend to drive through the small village of Elsah when passing along Illinois highway 100 in this area. Quaint describes it perfectly. It has several bed and breakfasts and many homes built with stone. There is a small loop drive between the start of the village near the Mississippi River...
This facility dates back to the depression era of the 1930s. It has a lot of stonework and beautiful, exposed structural wood framing. It has all been immaculately kept over the years. During our visit, it was set up for a wedding amongst the trees outdoors and a conference dining room was ready for...
This is a rather dumpy restaurant in the tourist town of Grafton. There was nothing special about the fish, as far as I was concerned. The whole building is worn out and the bathroom was the pits. The only good thing I can say is that you can see the river from the restaurant's deck and even that is somewhat...
So how does one review a cemetery? For me, I look first for peacefulness. This cemetery is a little off the beaten path amidst the rolling hills behind the village of Elsah. Located off Cemetery Road, it was very tranquil and interesting. There are tombstones dating back as far as the American civil war.
