I have a penchant for pizza, a love of books, and a strong cup of coffee always makes me smile. When I'm not writing for ToastedRav I like long walks on concrete sidewalks, hanging-lamp lit dinners, and a good bottle of Shiraz.

Why Do They Have To Go Changing St. Louis Names So Much?

A record crowd turned out for this year's St. Patty's Day Parade in Dogtown, and ToastedRav headed down to join in on the festivities. There were crowds from as near as the neighborhood and as far as Dublin Ireland celebrating the annual wearing of the green.

As sure as St. Louis will have green beer in March, we also have the long ago names from some of our favorite institutions so ingrained in our minds that when they change we have a hard time adjusting. (How's that for a transition reach?) While we were in Dogtown, we quizzed St. Louis about some of the more famous name changes to see which old names we are hanging on to the most.

To check out the parade festivities and to see the results of our quick St. Louis quiz, check out the Featured Video tab.
