    2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

    No numbers yet, but the recent extreme cold spell we've been gripped in for a month in the STL area is ending, and temperatures are expected to be above average for January. It is likely to still be cold, but not in the teens and single digit highs like we've recently seen. First weekend of...

    2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

    The day I made that post, that was the rate on the Hilton website. Today it's showing $229 for champion weekend (which is still a bit higher than average). Also for people asking about the events at Centene, I recommend someone emailing [email protected] and asking if the...

    2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

    This is a great interview with thoughtful probing, but not invasive questions. And Bradie's responses are equally good, and she speaks quite reflectively and realistically about her injuries and goals coming into Nationals.

    In Memoriam

    Reiner was also a great producer who gave us outstanding films like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Michael Clayton." "Stand By Me" was another of his great directorial efforts.

    NBCSN Network to Return

    So some sports will be on Peacock and some on YouTube TV? Sounds like a ploy to get people to just buy more streaming subscriptions.

    Hopefully you had previously booked a hotel? Between the convention and skating most of the downtown hotels are full or charging insane prices at the moment. The Union Station hotel is wanting $900/night for championship weekend!!! :yikes: If you're staying west of downtown and planning on...

    I can't tell you what the price will be but there are a LOT of parking garages and pay lots near Enterprise Center and Union Station. City Hall is adjacent to Enterprise Center so workers there do utilize a lot of the garages during the M-F daytime period.

    Michelle Kwan (Threads Merged)

    :rofl: that this article is mainly a cut and paste job of the Kween's IG posts with some written descriptions of her pictures there. Give us some scoop "People!" @TanithandBenFan After my initial shock wore off, I immediately thought of "Belladella" too. I have not seen here at a competition...

    Also home to Bailey's Chocolate Bar, for chocaholics like me. A few safe blocks away is Eleven Eleven Mississippi, a longtime stellar St Louis restaurant. Both are a very short rideshare from downtown. @Rhumba d’Amour if you are staying in a Washington Avenue hotel, venture up to Omen Coffee...

    2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

    While they are "next door" it is actually about a 15 minute walk from the arena to Hollywood Casino and taking a quick look on Google Maps, I don't see any sidewalks linking the two. The photos there are from when Centenne was under construction so maybe they have been added, but....

    2026 U.S. Nationals - St. Louis!

    For people staying downtown for the event looking for fresh foods there is Schnuck's Downtown at 315 N. 9th Street (about a 10-15 minute walk northeast of Enterprise Center, depending on traffic and lights). It's a fully stocked grocery store, the only one in the downtown area. For anyone...

    U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

    And in exhibitions skaters don't normally do all their jumps and modify the choreography. So does that make it the "same program?" I wouldn't think so. IMO it's a ridiculous rule. Most skaters are not using exhibitions as "practice sessions."

    https://www.stlouisunionstation.com/ Above is a link to the renovated Union Station which is about 2 blocks from Enterprise Center. There are restaurants and concessions there (some have menus you can view on the website), as well as other entertainment options including the St Louis Aquarium...

    I would not count on being able to bring your luggage and store it at Centene Center, but you can call them at 314-461-2244 to find out.
