Answer me this: if most broadcasters come from the Midwest because they don't have an accent, then why do we have such a hard time pronouncing St. Louis street names, and even our own state's name? This burning question may not have been answered when we headed to the St. Patrick's Day parade equipped with a list, a microphone and a video camera, but some of the pronunciation flubs that run rampant in our city were definitely exemplified when we asked people to read from our list.
It may have been by benefit of all the green beer that was flowing, but we heard some pretty interesting variations of these words when we asked St. Louis to try their hand at reading them. To test your skills, and to see others doing the same, check out our video on [tab:trav_video].
Love or loathe mispronunciations, they are everywhere. If not having a silent "s" on the end of Gravois really gets under your skin, you should also check out Audrey's article on some other words that Missouri commonly mispronounces.
Everyone knows that Clooney is in St. Louis - yadda, yadda, yadda - but what some of you might not have known is that there are several other "celebs" who are living among us in the St. Louis area. So I did what any celeb-obsessed blogger would do, and I decided to call up a few of these famous residents and ask them about

When it comes to good old American edibles, Saint Louis is the mother of invention. Sure, we may be among the nation's most miserable cities, we may have a football team that's lately more suited for PeeWee competition, and we may have a bit of an asthma problem, but naysayers can never call us uninventive when it comes to stuffing our faces. From gooey butter cake to the Saint Paul sandwich, the Gateway City has birthed more than a few foods. Therefore, we thought it appropriate to hit the streets to Ask St. Louis which tasty local invention is the most smile-inducing. Click [tab:trav_video] for more.]]>
Sure, it's still winter, but it's kinda-maybe-almost nearing spring, which makes me think of grilling, which makes me want steak. Hopefully you were able to keep up with my random thought process, but either way, we at ToastedRav decided we were curious about where St. Louisans go to eat meat. More specifically, what restaurants in St. Louis grill up the most mouth-watering steaks?

When I spotted LaVerne in a West County Target, I knew instantly that she would be my Style on the Streets this week. Between the clean lines and the bright color of her classy combination, this self-described clothes horse stood out to me more than anyone I'd seen all week. Plus, everyone knows my theory is that when all else fails, turn to 
Favorite part of her outfit - I love this scarf. I've loved the colors in it since I got it last season. It spices up my outfit and seems to tie everything together.
I am pretty familiar with Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Jasmine and Belle, but Pocahontas, Mulan and soon-to-be princess Tiana were all a bit after my Disney prime. Let's face it - for most of us, it has been awhile since we sat down to watch a good Disney marathon.
