I would settle for the tickets.

Shucks, it seems both options are as likely to happen.

It is named the Eads Bridge - still there.

I have been on it and it was a highlight of my visit to StL - along with the Arch and the Clydsdales.

Smauggie, I did not realize we were practically neighbors, I'm across the River from you in Newport. I'm assuming you know where Tinucci's is ? I'm 2 blocks South and 2 streets west of there.
