The mayor, three council members, the city manager, the city attorney and the public works director attended the Missouri Municipal League Conference in St. Louis, utilizing the city van for the first time. Although the vehicle is roomy enough for comfort and conversation, access to the back rows needs some upgrades.
The conference venue and our hotel was in the refurbished St. Louis Union Station. Finding our way through the maze of hotel rooms was a challenge but after the Mayor accidently discovered an executive hospitality suite (with a free breakfast), we quickly learned how to find our way to that door.
Another accidental discovery was the hourly evening light show in the hotel lobby/bar. OK...yes, we were in the lobby/bar the first night of the conference and, yes, we were surprised when the light show started. OK....yes, we returned the next night....ummmmmm.....for the light show.
During the day, we attended informational sessions and talked with folks from other cities in Missouri. Also, Mayor Bill was elected to the MML board. *cheers*
