Allstar and St. Louis

Thanks to the Planning Group’s season tickets and wonderful lottery system, I was amongst the four lucky winners drawn for the All Star Game!

Except for the exitement of being in the presence of President Obama, the B-2 Bomber, and the “All-Stars Among Us,” it was phenomenal to see the skyline of St. Louis in the background, echoing the lawn mower art on the field in the foreground. After being in Hong Kong and Asia Pacific for three months, I am once again reminded of St. Louis’ potential of becoming a great city.
