Hey Rookie, Welcome to The Boulders at Katy Trail

Touchdown for The Boulders at Katy Trail in St. Charles! 

Not often do you see apartment communities featured on the NFL Network…but you soon will.  NFL Rookie and new St. Louis Rams wide receiver, Mardy Gilyard is looking for a place to call home when not on the field at the Edward Jones Dome.  Of course, he picked the best resort-style living in St. Charles at The Boulders at Katy Trail!  NFL Films began filming the newest season of “Hey Rookie, Welcome to the NFL” which documents athletes as they go from days as standout college football stars to their first few months being a rookie in the NFL.  Film crews followed as Mardy and Mills associate Ashley Wilson toured the community to find the perfect home.  He knew within minutes that living at The Boulders at Katy Trail would be a fabulous way to start an NFL career! 

I wonder if preseason camp is this easy?  To see how the rest of his rookie days go, follow Mardy when this season of “Hey Rookie, Welcome to the NFL” airs in September on the NFL Network. 

Welcome to St. Louis Mardy Gilyard!

Racing for a Cure

Downtown St. Louis will be a sea of pink on Saturday morning – all in the name of fighting breast cancer.  The Komen race in St. Louis is the largest in the country and is an excellent place to be this weekend.  As part of the

"Downtown Initiative”, many shops and restaurants will be open on Saturday offering discounts for race participants.  I think this is a great opportunity to re-visit downtown St. Louis and see what our great city has to offer!  Check out the Komen St. Louis website to learn more about the weekend festivities and how you can get involved.   It is certainly one of my favorite St. Louis events – seeing Pink Support for miles is truly inspiring!  If you can’t join us on race day – you can Dine out for the Cure with many local restaurants making donations from dinner proceeds on Thursday (6/10).  Good Luck to all the race participants - it should be a fabulous event!

 

 

It's Friday…what do you do St. Louis?

 

Music… 

I have often complained of the lack of great local artists playing around the city.  I am guilty of taking   the short 4 hour trip to Nashville to get my live music fix.  I had always thought that “music city” had great bands and loyal followers.  Most impressive (or amusing to me) – requesting bands to play Rocky Top…I have never seen adults get so rowdy singing and jumping for their signature song. 

I began to wonder do we have a “Rocky Top”– am I just not looking in the right places for the great music in St. Louis?  I read in the Riverfront Times about awards and a music showcase of over 50 local bands playing this Saturday on Washington Avenue…and for only $5.  The list of bands is extensive and covers nearly every genre.  This may be what makes us different – we seem to have something for everyone.  Will this indulge my music fix and end my trips to Nashville?  The $5 entry fee is certainly less than a tank of gas.
