This is the wurst news I've heard all week.
St. Louis is spilling over with German heritage--especially the South Side. Most know that the "Scrubby Dutch" for which the South Side neighborhood of Dutchtown was named was actually due to a mispronunciation of the word "Deutsch"--Germans.
From Bevo Mill, to Dutchtown, to Carondelet, to Benton Park West, to Gravois Park, to the Patch...I can think of dozens of locations that might have been more appropriate for a relocated Strassenfest. But loads of parking and "security" is always key, huh?
It's going to be on Chesterfield Parkway West, too? Is there even a space fit for a large community event there?
Boo, I say. What next? Hill Day moves to Arnold?

We still have Oktoberfest in Soulard.
I'd like to see Badenfest return. That was a huge shame.
