As a matter of fact, I can't think of a good title.

If I were to say I prefer the city to O'Fallon, I don't think I'd be entirely alone. There's some weird sort of thrill in walking through clouds of secondhand smoke and supporting small businesses. A greeting from a homeless person on the street incurs a strong nostalgia for New York City, and even being ripped off by a chain fast-food place is more comforting when said establishment is not set into a standalone building next to a Target store. Even if city life isn't to your liking, you have to admit it was fun to pretend for a day.

The Loop

Frequently, many (not all!) people who live in St. Charles County express wonder and surprise upon their visits to the city. What were your thoughts/experiences surrounding our visit to Forest Park,the St. Louis Art Museum, and the Loop in University City. How was it the same/different than where you live in O'Fallon, MO?

What does it mean to "have a good aesthetic"?

Art Museum

Please share your thoughts on your Art Museum Experience.

What work do you plant to analyze and why?
