An Intro: The Reason for Under the Arch

For those who aren't familiar with St. Louis it can be confusing, from the misunderstanding of the age old question of "Where'd you go to school?" (hint: The question is for high school not college) to the city made of small town layout. Few things are odder though then the food: Toasted Ravioli, a bar staple and Italian restaurant must have in St. Louis doesn't exist outside of our fair city; The Cracker crust of a St. Louis Pizza, (Fortel's should be your go to, DON'T choose Imos, just don't I'll go into why in a latter post); and of course the sweet treat that has no compare, Gooeybutter cake, that silky smooth creamy and rich square of diabetes inducing goodness. But even to the St, Louisian, thanks to the small town make up of St. Louis many don't know some truly delicious eats, sinfully sweet treats, and just good dives. I aim to change that, to guide the out of Towner and show the natives places they ussually wouldn't think of. My Name is Tom Shuman, and welcome to Under the Arch.
