St. Charles Rock Road is where we got our name, so I thought that it was only fitting to share a few of my pictures of historic Main Street in St. Charles. You might also consider this an invitation to explore a little local history, take a long bike ride, support local businesses and enjoy some old fashioned real architecture, instead of the franchised box stores we sometimes find ourselves at. Spring's coming soon and North St. Louis County, is right across the river from Main Street, so why not visit when you get a chance?

Enter the tourism office between the flags and let your day trip begin.
Now that's what I call patina.
A lotta bikers hang out around here.
People left here to go to Kansas? Really?
Cherry blossoms I believe. Any botanists visit this blog?
Makes you wonder why there isn't a movie shot here everyday.
I worked at an ad agency on the second floor of the "Odd Fellows" building from 1989 to 1992. The River Star Cafe was below street level. A place for old wine and new ideas.
Follow the red brick road.
Where the old Rock Road ended. Take a left and then another left and you were soon on Main Street. (Photo courtesy of Joe Sonderman)
This post is dedicated to the late Martha "Jimmie" Heusler... a friend of St. Charles and the dear lady who kept all of us advertising types in line at the William Thomas Agency.
