Single in St. Louis
St. Louis is one of those cities which sometimes seems more like a collection of independent neighborhoods than a cohesive city. This can make it tough to find someone, if your local selection is limited, and many people are reluctant to date outside their neighborhood. And once you find someone, there is the challenge of trying to find a place nearby that will be great for date night.
Here are three St. Louis restaurants that are worth the extra drive:

Italy's tradition of "caffe sospeso"
In America, we have this thing at Starbucks where sometimes someone pays for the coffee of the person in line behind them. The person in line behind them is so surprised and grateful that they take the money they were going to spend on their own coffee, and use it to buy the coffee of the person in line behind them. The whole thing continues until some person breaks the chain, and everyone kind of hates them for being the selfish jerk.

Keeping Up With the Industry News
Most of the news out there that concerns the evolution and progress of the various media formats we all know and love is going to come to us via the power of news sites. It’s simply easier for Internet journalists to get off the mark quickly when something breaks and they want to let the world know (and want to make a buck or two by being one of the first to break it). But sometimes filtering through all that text can be a huge pain in the butt. So we find ourselves scanning titles to see what the gist of the news is and then, perhaps, if we have a few extra seconds, giving a once-over on the articles themselves. Heck, if it’s something we’re really interested in, we might even read the entire thing. Luckily, the miracle of the Internet has made it easy for us to get caught up on geek-centric news without necessarily having to click through tons of print-based media sites.
