I hadn't been to Union Station in a couple of years. Today, I decided to go there. I had visions of wandering in and out of shops, including the bookstore, the train shop, all of the little artsy shops.
Well, it didn't quite happen that way. Less than half of the shops were full, and the ones that were left were very sad. There are almost no shops on the top level, and only a couple of food places in the food court.
The train shop and bookstore are gone, as are the little specialty stores. I saw a Body Shop, a Dog Shop, a few Cardinals shops, a couple of St. Louis souvenir shops, and a candy shop. Even the mini-golf seemed to be closed.
Union Station is gorgeous, and stil has some great restaurants - Houlihan's, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. The hotel seems to be thriving as well. It all looks like mud without the shops, though.
