Great Lakes & Upper South in the News: "'Star Trek' fans can visit final frontier at St. Louis Science Center" from the Saint Louis Post-Dispatch 


"Are you looking for the "Next Generation" bridge?


Go past Kirk's chair, wind past Picard's quarters, make a left at Spock's wardrobe room, go through Crusher's sick bay and you're there.


If you end up in Quark's bar, you've gone too far.


These directions could come in handy if you decide (boldly, of course) to see "Star Trek: The Exhibition," a new attraction at the St. Louis Science Center. It opens Friday (Oct. 28) and runs through May 28.

Great Lakes & Upper South in the News: "Bob Cassilly Remembered: Part Sculptor, Part Kid" from NPR

"It's hard to miss City Museum when you're in downtown St. Louis. It's the only building with a Ferris wheel on the roof.


There's a large green praying mantis, too. And a bus that's tipped just over the building's edge.


You can actually get on the bus."
