know that it's almost like stepping back in time to when the mansion was full of Lemps. The Stable does a good job of taking a lot of the feel from the Lemp Mansion and continuing it in this new spot. The updated wood features along with some of the other features keeps you in a very particular mindset. They also feature a "patio" area featuring a second bar.


The Stable is a brewpub and micro-distillery proudly located in the Benton Park Neighborhood of St. Louis on the northeast corner of Cherokee and Lemp. The building is where the draft horses for thehistoric Lemp Brewery were kept, thus the name. They are once again be brewing beer on these grounds for the first time since Prohibition. In addition to they're own brews, they serve up the best craft beer from across the country and the world. They have 36 rotating taps so you'll always have new selections to choose from each time you visit. They also serve a great brunch and, of course, Some great Roadhouse Americana.

* The dates of these shows are subject to change. We will keep you informed of any changes in our schedule.

TASTE OF TILLES

Tilles Park
Hampton & Fyler
St. Louis, Missouri

You gotta love these neighborhood festivals. We are really looking forward to this one. The Taste of Tilles is a biennial event (held every two years)

which serves as the only major fund raiser for the Tilles Park Neighborhood Association (TPNA). Unlike other "tastes" the Taste of Tilles is a restaurant tour, that allows individuals to walk, or be transported by free shuttle, to participating restaurants around the neighborhood. This allows participating restaurants to showcase their establishments and provide a higher quality, fresher "taste". The TPNA uses it's funds for neighborhood & park improvements as well as community events.

STOVALL'S GROVE
the Rockhorse Saloon

7:30 to 10:30
Wednesday, April 20th
Wednesday, May 18th
18720 Hwy 100
Wildwood, Missouri

This is really Jake Bowen's gig. But, it seems he does his usual "Jake thing" and hardly ever shows up. Not a problem. Hap and Slaige will be there and they

put on a dern good show. And you never can tell, Ol' Jake just might show.

To commemorate one of Wildwood, Missouri's longest continually run operations, Stovall's Grove Rockhorse Saloon was added to the city's historic registry at a recent Wildwood City Council meeting.

Located off Hwy. 100 at 18720 Stovall Lane, the Old Stovall's Grove Tavern was one of several buildings and land parcels that George and Mollie Stovall purchased in the 1930s. The set of buildings at that time served as a tavern, dance hall, general store and post office. The site also functioned as a stagecoach/wagon train stop between 1845 and 1904.

When the original tavern building burned in 1958, the current dance hall became the primary building on the site. The grove still is used for concerts and outdoor seating.

Stovall's character, interest and value is part of the heritage and cultural characteristics of Wildwood. Its location and uniquephysical appearance is widely recognized by community and surrounding county residents.The Council deemed the building to be suitable for preservation and that the business has potential to contribute to Wildwood's history. 

Wildwood City Council member Ron James (ward 6) said Stovall's is "loaded with historic significance" and the list of musicians who have performed there is "a mile long."

This historic designation now provides a partnership through  which Stovall's owners and city officials can protect the saloon's property and character in the future.

A Trooper's Prayer Request

If I could have but one thing it would be Prayers - all faiths. Every time my unit has deployed, we have brought back every soul. All of us were older and more than a few of us were injured, but we were alive - and very, very blessed. I want that blessing again with this deployment. The fate of my
troops is in our prayers. I know a Soldier that opened a trash can and was looking at a bomb that should have exploded. He, his wife, and his 4 children under the age of 5 are glad it didn't. I believe in prayer and I believe prayer saved his life... Please Pray for Us.
