Thousands of Tea Party Patriots from across the Midwest are expected to converge in St. Louis on September 12, 2010 to rally in support of restoring founding U.S. principles, in protest at the size and scope of government, and in support of current efforts to repeal legislation that they believe has been forced upon them and will not deliver on its promises.

Normally, if you saw sleeping bodies strewn across the park before sunrise, you might think, "homeless, hungry, poor," but not this day, not this crowd. These people were not homeless; in fact, they had left their homes in distant states to camp at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. If they were hungry, their hunger was for a spiritual and patriotic resurgence, and rather than poor, they were rich in their fervor for America. Spreading their blankets to secure their spot, hundreds spent the night on the ground, awaiting the Restoring Honor Rally hosted by Glenn Beck on Aug. 28.

When Ya Ya's Euro Bistro Executive Chef Rob Uyemura combined the influences of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, North African, French and Greek cuisines, a new dining concept was created.
"There's nothing else like it. Ya Ya's is the only Euro bistro in St. Louis," said the restaurant's general manager John Miller, who described Euro bistro dining as "something between a casual and a fine dining experience with a menu that's varied and served in a relaxed atmosphere."
Tucked one block east of Hwy. 141 on Manchester Road is an oasis where one can escape area traffic and relax in a cozy dining room or outdoors on an inviting patio garden. Locals know it as Tucker's Place.
"It's a place like no other," said Maryann Manoni, Tucker's Place hostess. "From our beer garden to our dining rooms and bar, guests love the astrosphere, and of course they love the food."
Known as "The Place for Steaks," Tucker's Place since opening its first place in Soulard has been a cut above other steakhouses by choosing to bring the best USDA prime beef to its menu at fair prices. In fact, keeping prices affordable without cutting quality has been a promise and commitment Tucker's has provided nightly for the past 19 years at its Manchester location.
