The St. Louis Patch team covered the devastation brought on by Mother Nature throughout the weekend.
Residents of greater St. Louis will not soon forget Good Friday 2011 and Easter weekend.

A science fiction convention at Westport allows parents to relax and release from the kids.
Sometimes you can get away from it all without going more than 20 minutes from home. This weekend, leave the kids with their grandparents and head up the street to Maryland Heights' Comfort Inn at Westport for a geeky weekend with other grownups.
