We got tickets a while back to take the train from Kansas City to St. Louis this morning, but yesterday afternoon we were informed by email that the train had been canceled. What?! "Due to a schedule change" was the reason given. But as of today, the schedule does not seem to have changed at all. Who knows. Bottomline: no train for us and no $386 for Amtrak (4 of us). Siscos drove us and we got to St. Louis early afternoon, settled into our various housing, and met up with our niece, nephew, and their spouses for some ice cream at
Jeni's (really good) and dinner at
Baileys' Range (great burgers and "boozy" shakes!). Jamie and Lynn are staying at the
Royal Sonesta Chase Park Plaza St. Louis, a very swank place connected to the apartments/condos next door which are in the building that was used in the movie Ghostbusters where the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man showed up. All the day's photos start
here.
Update 3/31/23: I could not find any evidence on the internet that this building was the Ghostbusters building. Everything pointed to NYC as the filming location. In fact, get this... Elf and Ghostbusters used the same building, click
