Show Your Love for the City at GROUPHUG St. Louis

St. Louis ever get you down? Get a little angry? A little disappointed sometimes? Or maybe you just love the city no matter what? Well, it's time to hug it out! Yeah, slap those arms around that part of the city that makes you happy. And there's plenty to love. Need a free suggestion? That Grizzly at the zoo has made you smile more than once, yes? Ride MetroLink? Hug a train (or the train operator)? Gates to your neighborhood, favorite purveyor of gooey butter cake, city's newest microbrewery, a flood gate...

You get the idea. So, hug what you love, have an accomplice snap a photo and submit to grouphugstl@gmail.com. Then plan to attend the GROUPHUG St. Louis event Thursday, June 2nd at 7:00 p.m. at the STyLehouse. Presented by City Affair, a $100 cash prize and gift certificates from STL Style, the St. Louis Curio Shoppe and The Gelateria will be awarded. Oh, and Cleveland-based Saving Cities will be filming portions of the event and conducting interviews to document grassroots efforts to "save" cities from the community up.
