| The Terrace View in Citygarden |
August was an unusually busy month, with numerous restaurant openings and closings. Let's dwell on the positive above the fold:
The Terrace View opened in Citygarden, Downtown's spiffy new sculpture park; Downtown scored an honest-to-God grocery store in Schnucks'
Culinaria; and
Molly's in Soulard affected a fairly stunning transformation of itself. More good, some bad, after the jump.
