Resolved Question: Why not consider St. Louis as your next travel desination???… here is all the info you need :o)?
Do Something Different!!!

My thoughts as a native St. Louisian….
St. Louis, Missouri is a great place to visit in November. Visit the Arch and take a romantic walk around Memorial Park as you look at the changing leaves and watch the Mississippi River roll lazily by below you.
It is a great city to be romantic… or to find romance.

Forest Park, officially opened to the public on June 24, 1876, is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. At 1,293 acres, it is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York.

Today it attracts more than 12 million visitors a year. It is more than a scenic backdrop to our city. It is an active participant and catalyst in the St. Louis community. Monuments, historic buildings, wildlife, waterways and landscapes combine to form a unique cultural institution that is vitally important to the entire St. Louis region. The park is recognized as an important gathering place where people of all ages, races and economic backgrounds can gather and mix in a positive way.

It is the home to the region’s major cultural institutions—the Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum, Science Center and the Muny Opera. It also serves as a sports center for golf, tennis, baseball, bicycling, boating, fishing, handball, ice skating, roller blading, jogging, rugby and more.
