STL Garbage - Chapter IV: BLIIIINDED BY THE LIGHT!

[System_1]

Any arcades in STL? I was there a while back and played at an arcade in a mall, it was on a lower level, had an indoor miniature golf course. I seem to remember a decent selection of fighting games. Any one go there? What was the mall called anyways?

Is it still there? If not, where could I find some MvC2 games? I’m headed out there next month.

Any help is appreciated.

I’m gonna be there the weekend of the 18th, 19th and 20th. Is there any arcades with Marvel downtown?

Ok…ummm…first of all, do not listen to the advice above. You ask what you can do with your girlfriend in St. Louis, and you’re told places to take her to eat and fatten her up. Bad idea. If you’re going to be downtown, you’re right by Washington Ave. and Laclede’s Landing–two St. Louis hotspots. And according to your profile you’re over 21, so unless you’re some kinda child molestor, you and your girlfriend should have a good time. See where I’m going with this? Get her drunk…not fat.

James - I’ll call you after I get off work.

You mean the weekend of Evo…?

There are no arcades downtown, and really the only one that has a good Marvel cabinet is UMSL, which is up in North county.

(And that’s why we usually just play at somebody’s pad.)

How much time do you have? There’s plenty to do if you’ve never been here before.

If you’re just looking for night life (bars/clubs), head down to Laclede’s Landing. If you don’t have a car, you can take the MetroLink down there. The casinos are also within walking distance of Laclede’s Landing (unless you’re super lazy).

If you want to do more sight-seeing and tourist-oriented stuff, check out the Arch (also within walking distance of Laclede’s Landing), or the Budweiser Brewery. The brewery isn’t within walking distance, but free tour + free beer = winners.

bars?! Gettin drunk? Where’s the fun in that? Lots of money and leavin tips. Dont do that with Imo’s & LC :D. Nothing wrong with thick girls. For when winter rolls around she can keep u warm.

Thanks for all the help. I know it’s not fancy but, I think Bud is prolly my beer of choice. That’s a cool Idea. I was looking for more tourist spots. I’m sure well hit up the Arch quick. I heard there’s a nice Zoo. btw… The local restraunt suggestions and night spots are more than welcome. Any good dive bars downtown? What time does everything close?

edit - That IS evo weekend isn’t it? All the comp’s gonna be there prolly, huh?

There will still be players but, as posted, bringing a stick for console would be your best bet.
Dont go to the zoo, theres lions tigers and bears…oh my :smokin:

[dRu84532]

good games Nick and James…i wish i showed up a bit earlier so I could of played some ST =[

[NKI]

Good games Dru and James. :tup:

I heard there’s a nice Zoo.

Yeah, the zoo is pretty nice, and it’s free also. If you really like looking at animals, you could hit up Grant’s Farm too, which is a zoo-like place (also free). It’s owned by Anheuser-Busch, so you get free beer there too.

The local restraunt suggestions and night spots are more than welcome.

I’m not gonna be much help here because I never go to bars/clubs. (Don’t like the smoke.) I don’t even know what a dive bar is…

edit - That IS evo weekend isn’t it? All the comp’s gonna be there prolly, huh?

When you combine all the Capcom and Tekken players from STL, I think there is a whopping total of ONE person going to Evo…me.

STL is mad weak when it comes to tourney attendance. :tdown:

[player]

GG jeff. frustration = death. don’t let my strats get to you. i play defensive alot, but it all really depends on the character. like your hibiki, there is no way to get in close to her. she has all the tools. if u cry about me running away, as u like to say, deal with it. ill be aggressive when need be, but if im ahead, ill do what it takes to win.

hopefully we’ll get some ST in some day.

allen - k-groove is damn cheap

ST. ANN

An off-duty Berkeley police officer, shopping at Northwest Plaza, shot and killed a man after a confrontation in a clothing store shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said.

Police did not reveal the name of the officer or the man he killed.

St. Louis County police issued a statement saying the man “bumped” the officer several times in the mall in St. Ann, and that when the officer entered the Man Alive store on the mall’s southern end, the man followed and bumped him again. The officer, in plain clothes, told the man he was under arrest, according to the statement. A struggle ensued, the man tried to take the officer’s gun, and the fearful officer fatally shot him, authorities said.

The officer was treated for a minor hand injury, police said. No one else was injured.

Police would not release any other information. There were no details of what led up to the shooting, whether the two were acquainted and whether the man who was killed had been armed.

An assistant manager of the store, who spoke on the condition that his name not be used, said he noticed the officer and a man arguing when they entered the store. He said he heard the officer yell, “Well, do something about it.”

He said he saw the man spit at the officer, who drew his weapon and chased the man around the store. The man was backing away, pulling racks over to block the officer’s path, the manager said.

The men struggled, moving into an emergency exit hallway behind the store. The manager said he closed the door and then heard shots.

Berkeley police Maj. Frank McCall said the officer was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation but declined further comment.

St. Ann police referred inquiries to county police, whose detectives usually investigate shootings by municipal officers.

Arriving officers from St. Ann and Berkeley swarmed the mall and told people to take cover, witnesses said. Several mall employees said they locked their stores’ doors when they saw police.

“When I see guns, I just go into a defense mood,” said Lashawnda Luster, 32, who closed the doors at her store, called Rave.

“I just can’t believe this happened at a mall,” Luster said.

The mall, at Lindbergh Boulevard and St. Charles Rock Road, has fallen on hard times in recent years with the declining popularity of enclosed malls and the emergence of new competition.

Somera Capital Management LLC, a private equity firm based in California, bought Northwest Plaza in June for $45 million from Westfield Group of Australia. An official with Somera has said it is planning a major overhaul.

The mall opened in 1965.

In 2003, it began requiring anyone 17 or younger who is there after 6 p.m. to be accompanied by a parent, guardian or adult at least 21 years old. At the time, mall officials and police said the measure was to restore a family atmosphere and stop teen loitering and occasional skirmishes.

“We’re not against having kids in the stores, but we want families here, not roving bands of juveniles,” St. Ann Police Chief Bob Schrader said then.

At the time, Schrader told the Post-Dispatch that over the years, St. Ann police had tried various options to keep peace at the mall, including stationing mounted police in the parking lots and patrol officers on rooftops.

I heard it was a blackman that was shot and im for 1 am very suprised!(not really)
and i hope you all safe passage while at nwp(not really)
