Our Corner of Historic Main Street

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

There is much to do in the historic district of St. Charles, Mo. Within several blocks of our St. Charles inn you’ll find a number of excellent restaurants and many good shops. The architecture is lovely, the ambience delightful. Strolling the streets of our neighborhood is always a pleasure for locals and visitors alike.

In fact, you’ll fill hours without ever leaving the 300 block of South Main Street. Linger over drinks and dinner across the street at the Vine Wine Bar and Bistro. Learn how to create beautiful stained glass at The Glass Workbench. Pick up yarn and a pattern for your next knitting project at Knit and Caboodle. Or browse for books at Main Street Books, which has a great selection of books about the local area and its history.

There is usually an interesting event at Main Street Books on Saturday afternoons from 1 to 3 pm. All are welcome. The line up this month is as follows:

March 6 – Book signing with Laura Bradford, author of Sew Deadly and Kayla’s Daddy.

March 13 – Storyteller Mary Garret presents Frog and Friends and Courage and Wisdom.

March 20 – Book signing with Judy Moresi, author of Widow’s Walk.

March 27 – Book signing with Bill Mueller, author of Peaches and Cream, a collection of short stories.

We love the central location of our St. Charles MO inn, and think you will too. There is much to see and do in this area, and a good place to start exploring is right outside our front door.
