Recently, on a vacation with my family, we drove through Atlanta, GA where we stopped overnight. We planned to go to Six Flags Over Georgia while we were there, but it was so cold that the park closed for the day.

My great grandfather worked for the Lemp family for 56 years. Its a very interesting story, so when I found out we would travel to St. Louis for vacation, I already knew that I wanted to go to the neighborhood where he worked.
