Welcome to St. Louis! Hope you guys enjoyed your stay and thank you for showing the city in such a positive light!
Thank you for having us!
Stl born & bred, now living in México. Thank you for showing off my hometown. I miss it so much!
Awesome! We LOVE Mexico! Where are you at?
@@EatSeeRV I live in Querétaro, a medium sized city 3 hours north of México City. No stl summers or winters for me!
Yes we're familiar with the area. We spent 11 months traveling mainland Mexico in our RV! What a beautiful area
Thank you for featuring our awesome city! Great video!
So glad you enjoyed it!
The St Louis Zoo is by far one of the very best in the Country! St Louis is the only large city I would even consider living in.
So glad you found your place. :)
Great video, really nice editing! This weekend will be my first time in St. Louis, and it looks like it's going to be rainy the entire time. I think I got a couple ideas for fun indoor activities, and food from your video though Thank you for sharing your adventures and happy travels wherever you go next!
Thank you for visiting and representing us so well !!!
Thank you for watching!
St. Louisian here! So glad you had a good time on your visit. Different websites or publications put out lists of cities that are the most dangerous in the country. Unfortunately St. Louis usually ranks high on those and has earned a bad reputation because of it. The truth is St. Louis is a great city and very underrated when it comes to tourism. If you visit again make sure to go to the Botanical Gardens. Also I'd like to say that I appreciate that you mentioned the not so great aspects of our history. It's important to acknowledge these things so that we can learn from them.
Thanks Megan, glad you enjoyed the video and yes there's often two sides (one being far darker than we often like to acknowledge). It was a great city and hope more people get to discover it for themselves!

Was there from Buffalo last year! Went up the Arch, took a riverboat ride and caught a couple of Cards games. Unfortunately was not able to go to the Federal building ( closed for repairs) and time didn't allow me to visit Budweiser Brewery. I will be back!
Awesome glad you had a good time and hope things are open when you return!
I've lived in St. Louis, Lost Angeles, Orange County, Sacramento, Denver & Boulder, Salt Lake, Seattle-Tacoma, St. Petersburg, Chicago, and Tulsa; and I've worked in a dozen other cities across the US. Without a doubt, St. Louis is the best. Chicagoans think their city is the better of the two, and St. Louisans tend to be insecure about the comparison. Hey, Bulls and Bears, no doubt, but that's it. I live now and will retire in Summit County CO, because it has the two things that St. Louis doesn't have - mountains and a comfortable August, but St. Louis will always be home. Go Cards!
oh my heart 💗 Yes, StL is home sweet home for me. I don't take for granted the skyline or catching sunsets/sunrises at the mounds either! And the many foods this town has to offer has a lot of pride (chefs) behind them too!
That's wonderful!
Thanks for the great review of St. Louis. So glad you came and hope to see you again soon! Have fun in your travels!
Your outtakes crack me up! Glad they’re included!
Nice video didn't realize there is so much to see and do there. Thanks!
Great video guys! Glad you enjoyed STL
Looks like such a fun trip! Lol I love Dennis’ “stop asking questions and eat it” comment 😂
Haha!
I live in St. Louis and was shocked to see you actually got good recommendations for places to eat! Pappy's and Clementine's are amazing! You should take the Anheuser Busch brewery tour!
Yes we enjoyed both immensely.
I can't stand Bud. But the Brewery Tour was awesome.
Thanks for the positive spin on our city. Next time, go to a Cardinals game, you will have a blast !( bring your own snacks. Save some money.)
Let's not forget Ted Drewes - a St. Louis tradition for frozen custard. Better than ice cream.
Thanks for the tip! We did learn about it but opted for ice cream instead
Ted Drewes is an institution for sure, but I think Rich's Frozen Custard in South County blows it out of the water.
@@EatSeeRV no worries, it is more of a 'muscle memory' for many of us, but no better place to be after a Cards win!
Great video!! brings back memories of when I visited St Louis. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Josiah by taking the city tour with him. So funny randomly stumbling upon your clip & spotting him
That is very random and so fun! Glad you got to take the history tour. We wish we could have.
Love your videos!!!!!!!!!!! You 2 are easily some of the best on the web in my opinion!!! Love how you inform, entertain and talk about the history (both good and bad) of the places you visit!!!
That's so kind Andre! Thank you :) We're happy to have you here!
agreed, I am sure your followers will be growing, you both do have an easy, pleasant style. I subscribed and look forward to perusing your 'back catalog'
Great video. I've been a couple times. I LOVE St. Louis. I'm planning on moving there in a few years. Such an awesome city. Thank you!
I wasn't sure about St Louie until now. Thanks for the recommendations. Glad you are out and about again. Safe travels.
It was a great city! Surprised us in so many ways. :) Thanks for watching JR!
City Museum & Schlafly Brewery are a must! U2 have turn around...
Thanks for the tips. We look forward to returning and will add them to our list. :)
Great video. Thanks
Thank you for always tuning in Ed! We appreciate you!
Thanks for sharing your time in St. Louis...made me hungry!
Haha 😆 goal accomplished then
There used to be a lot more mounds and that's why StL used to be called (and sometimes still is) Mound City.
We love St. Louis! Where did you stay in your RV. We are headed there at Thanksgiving.
We stayed on the East Side at Cahokia RV Park. We've heard the Casino there is good too!
Enjoyed seeing St. Louis through your perspective! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Awesome thanks for watching!
Awesome video thanks. What do y’all use for audio recording? Y’all sound great
Thank you glad you liked the audio! You can see all of our vlog gear here link.eatseerv.com/vlogsetup
Love the olden timey slide show animation for a little history.
Thank you! Thanks to our editor. He helps us jazz up the history bits.
i went up in it as a kid in like 1985, and then took my kids there circa february 2021. i also have a memory of driving by it on a college road trip from lawrence, ks to indianapolis in 1998. time flies man.
I had no idea you can go up in the arch or the history about it. Thanks for sharing. 💖🙏✌️
It's pretty amazing!
Thanks for the look see! Our son lives in KC and we've tried on 4 separate trips to visit, but somethings has always come up. Definitely, making it next September when we finally get our Casita. Really enjoyed this video and your upbeat vibe!
I hope you finally get to visit. Congrats on the Casita!
St. Louisan here, it's a great city. next time you come through you should check out the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in soulard. Its really neat to see and you can do tours there too!
Loved seeing Soulard and the Cahokia Mounds! I used to live there
That's wonderful. What a cool place!
Love that vietnamese place you visited in the soulard farmers market! Their chicken skewers are the most tender ive ever had!
I love St. Louis. ❤️
We love your videos.
We own a 2008 Fleetwood Icon the sister is your RV Pulse.
Have you guys been able to find Automated RV lock for your Rv?
That's awesome! We haven't switched to one or looked for one but I know lots of rvers use them.
Nice overview of St. Lou. Our grandkids live there and we visit often from Boston. We love the town. A few places you didn’t get to that i highly recommend.
Missouri Botanical Gardens… beautiful displays.. huge grounds.. on of the best BG’s I’ve ever been to.
Tower Grove Park .. has a great splash pad for the kids when the temps rise.
Lafayette Square… if you love architecture it’s a must visit.
The Delmar Loop…. Salt and Smoke is my second favorite Bar-B-Que after Pappy’s
St. Louis Zoo… also in Forest Park… free and fantastic!
Take a drive out to Grant’s Farm with the kids.
Urban Chestnut a great brewery.
And finally…. The Venice Cafe … really just a dive bar… but you’ve never seen one like this…. Funky, artsy, Mosaics covering everything… sculptures… the place itself is a piece of urban art. Beer is cheap.
Yes… Union Loafers has the best pizza. St. Louis pizza worth a try… but it’s a curiosity… it’s not good…
Thanks for all the tips!
agreed, a lot of people miss the Gardens b/c it is not in the park (speaking of which the JEWEL BOX in FoPo is also a treat) and a trip to Alton IL or the wineries in Augusta are good outside the city trips.
Glad you made it to Pappy's. Loved the Forest Park spotlight. Sorry you missed the MO Botanical Gardens and the Butterfly Pavilion. You stayed downtown and missed West County, so sad. But who is to blame for letting you go without Gooey Butter Cake??
Hahaha sounds like we missed a lot!
Loved the mounds! Have you heard or been to Kolomoki Mounds in Georgia? If not might be something you’d wanna check out next time in Georgia.
Sounds cool we'll have to look into it. We've never been or heard of it.
Sounds cool we'll have to look into it. We've never been or heard of it.
@@EatSeeRV it’s not too far from Providence Canyon. Georgia’s little Grand Canyon too!
No 4 Hands or Schlafly Breweries. The Hill is also a must
Thanks!
Love your channel❤ I searched your videos high and low for one that discussed adding the solar power and couldn't find it anywhere.??? Did I miss something? @eat see rv
Here's our playlist on RV solar! RV Solar: th-cam.com/play/PLZIxkaC3dXrexmSg0ck9A4E2rhiciYP4S.html
I have been up in the arch many years ago. Are you guys glad to be back out and about?
Yes!
@@EatSeeRV 👍
Where do u camp by the arch?
We share the camping spot at the end of the video.
The key to enjoying St Louis is avoiding going anywhere near downtown. The arch can be seen and enjoyed from a distance. There is NOTHING in downtown St Louis that a non-criminal would be interested in.
I mean, we were downtown almost the whole time and had no crime related incidents. Also there was a lot to see and do there!
I remember watching the news when they opened the arch, it was a big deal at the time.
I have been there 3 Times and all 3 times it was closed because of flooding or repairs 🤬.
👍
Man what tough luck! Hopefully next time you get to go inside!
If you're going south along I-44 you need to make a stop in Uranus MO. Visit the Uranus Fudge Factory. This is a real place HONEST!! They say the best fudge in the world comes straight from Uranus.
Haha!
Next time hit up Ted Drewes down on Chippewa!
Thank you for the tip!
Wait you had St. Louis style pizza that wasn't from Imos😫😭
It was Imo's pizza
100% Imos is not good but other StL pizza joints are amazing....Boccardis. Serras, Stefaninas, Uncle Leos in SoCo....
@@EatSeeRV oh ok great
No walkable districts. Insufferably hot in summer. No river boats.
What? Plenty of walkable districts and parks. There are river boats. “Insufferably” hot is a matter of preference on temperature climates. Humid, yes, upper 90s and some low 100s for sure in the Summer. Insufferable, not sure I agree. I grew up there and didn’t consider it suffering. The four seasons bring great variances between Winter and Summer for sure.
The place to go in St. Louis is the City Museum. It's a giant playground for both kids and adults. Wear clothes you don't care about.
We also have the best free Zoo in the nation.
We do have a reputation for crime. The county is completely fine, it's the city that's the problem. But you should be fine as long as you stay in areas with high pedestrian traffic and walk in a group.
should check out the zoo
Hi
I live 12 miles from the Arch.
Awesome!
Pappys, baileys, rooster, mango. You’re welcome.
Thanks for the tips!
The zoo is world class. And free.
Awesome huh?!
For YTube Algo..
Thank you for watching (and commenting) Mark! Hope you enjoyed it :)
Growing up and still living just west of STL I hate the city I work downtown a lot of the times bc that's where most of construction goes on and I'm a demolition laborer. I've been robbed and guns pulled on me had police tell me to keep moving before the sun rises bc you'll get car jacked. The city is trashy violent and has all kinds of drugs just roaming the streets. It's a shitwhole
I live in STL and i hate it haha
Sorry to hear that!
Eh....some folks would be miserable anywhere.
You should move so you can hate the next place you live. I’m sure it has nothing to do with you.
I've lived in St Louis for 6 years now. My favorite parts are the frequent gunshots, people's inability to use a cross walk, and streams of trash on the freeways and sidewalks. But yeah I guess it has a couple decent restaurants.
Sadly many cities can say the same. Don't let some of the negatives overshadow the positives there. Nowhere is perfect! There's a lot of great things to like about St. Louis.
Some people who just visit do not realize how dangerous St. Louis is. Those places are good to visit, but you have a high chance of being a victim of violence, I know.
I live in the city.
And there is no where else in the stl area I would rather live. Stl is no more, and no less, “dangerous” than any other city.
Urban living isn’t for everyone, and some people just prefer to live in their nice cozy suburban bubble
@@mistertardigrade443 what bubble? I still live in the city and have been victimized so have many other people I know. It's one of the most dangerous in the country.
@@barbara7611 that is such a ridiculous statement. I’ve never been in a remotely dangerous situation my whole life in stl. Can’t say the same for the year and a half I lived in Denver.
There are better plates than pappy's and that serves stl style ribs not baby back.
I'm sure. Everyone has a favorite but we went with the well known spot that was sure to deliver!
21 years in St. Louis, and I didn't see everything. 13 & a half minutes doesn't do "The Lou" justice. You spent time in Soulard, but missed the Dog Parade? Mardi Gras? South StL ? North StL? East StL ? 13 minutes doesn't give time for diverse communities .
Of course not! We're not trying to capture the entire essence of the city but share the short experience we had there!

Saint louis Missouri the best city in the Midwest. No other city is in our league were our own university were the independent city STL 4 life
