St. Louis, Missouri — Eugene Field House and St. Louis Toy Museum
Written on December 1, 2008 at 12:41 pm, by Lain
Tuesday: We knew that the Eugene Field House would be closed today, but it was also on our way. We stopped by for a picture.
Eugene Field and Joel Chandler Harris have a lot in common. Both were newspapermen, both were humorists, both wrote popular children’s works, and both had direct and familial ties to early civil rights efforts.
And like the Wren’s Nest, the Eugene Field House is a National Historic Landmark, freshly stamped in 2007.
Susie and I determined that the Eugene Field House would be the best to work at given its proximity to Busch Stadium and the two bars across the street.
That’s the stadium in the back.
Topics Discussed — Dred Scott’s Lawyer, Julian LaRose Harris, St. Louis Light Rail, Ozzie Smith

Another it’s problem! Its proximity, not it’s.
Ugh. I fixed it.
