So I just recently relocated to the Midwest area from California. Just curious how many members live in the st Louis area. I live on the other side of the river in Illinois a bit, but st Louis is the closest city.

I live in the o Fallon area, small suburbish area east of st louis. I haven't been through east st Louis, but hear it is a scary place at night. Then there's all the other stuff going on in st Louis currently.

Its called blue springs cafe.

It says IL but its real close to St. Louis and right off of the highway. Their banana pie is awesome.

Highland is close to Breese where some of the best sodas I've ever had are made at Excel Bottling if you're into a little trip. Old school bottling plant like something out of the 50's. They also brew their own beer now.

So has anyone in that area been able to check out a store/arcade called The Neutral Zone in Chesterfield mall? Place seemed to have a pretty good selection and I noticed they had a 2 slot big red for sale up front.

I've been there his selection of fighters is pretty bad, but that dude loves the beat em ups. He's got some good games on the good Big Red but no fighters. He has KOF '97 on a f'ed up button MVS. Betting the one for sale is the f'ed up button one.

The one time I went it was a kid convention with the moms scowling if you try to jump in on one of their games. Love to see that place with a crowd that appreciates the arcade stmosphere.

I was just there last Friday for the "Seafood" Buffet. The pies are primo but the buffet is a joke; endless waiting for crab legs. I live in St. Jacob, which is like 15 minutes away.

So I think this is the third or fourth thread for St. Louis basically asking does anyone play in St. Louis. My question is does anyone want to get together in the St. Louis area? Personally I don't care if it's go to someones house or mine at this point.

Been there twice with my wife. Lots of fun but showed up on a thu and a mon around 3 P.M.. It was totally dead. Only games I played anyone on was KOF XIII and Simpsons Bowling (with my wife). Without the people to play it's rough to get excited since I have that many games on my setup at home. Still I do recommend everyone going there at least once in your life.
