​A TOWN WITHOUT PEOPLE?

...Continued from yesterday:      
       What we saw of downtown St. Louis was really quite nice.
​       Attractive streets;
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...patterned brick and stone sidewalks;
Picture
Picture
...interesting architecture both classic and modern;
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...pleasant green spaces;
Picture
Picture
...and, of course, The Arch, which seemed to pop into view around every corner.

    For all its charm, downtown St. Louis seemed to be lacking only one thing: People.
    Walking up and down these nice streets framed by these nice buildings felt slightly eerie, as if strolling through a ghost town or the remains of the zombie apocalypse. 
Picture
    Seriously, we wondered as we wandered, 
Picture
...where were all the people?
Picture
      In time, though, we did discover a few hives of humans. 
      We found them clustered in the vicinity of the Arch.
Picture
Picture
Picture
...as well as in the museum at the base of the Arch.
Picture
      We also found  people in and around the old Union Station building,
Picture
...which now houses a hotel,
Picture
...an aquarium,
Picture
...and various restaurants and other attractions,
Picture
...including a giant ferris wheel.
Picture
      But we finally fell upon the mother lode - relatively speaking - of the downtown living on a  thoroughfare called Washington Avenue. 
Picture
Picture
    While walking down this street it felt good to be back in the ebb and flow of humanity.
Picture
Picture
     Still, we had to wonder: What's the deal with the rest of downtown St. Louis?
