"In the hastening or delaying of the end lies all distinction in the knowledge of the end when at last it comes. At rare moments speed is determined; all else is something else."

Post-Urbana-evac, prior to 15-hour drive home

St. Louis is an okay place (buildings by Louis Sullivan = awesome), but I had three complaints. First, nobody lives in the city center; it's all hotels and offices, which made me a little sad. Second, as a result of the lack of actual residents, everything closes at 6pm. I couldn't find food after 6 except at a grocery store. Third, Wawa does not have any stores in metro St. Louis.
