This is in the current revision of St. Louis Union Station. You can get water or fizzy flavored sugar water here, but mostly it's about Anheuser-Busch products. Or, more recently, Anheuser-Busch-Inbev, the merged Belgian-Brazilian-American beer behemoth that took over one of our largest employers. Never a shortage of customers.
The photo was taken from the Saint Louis Wheel, the new Ferris wheel installed here. Much more about that soon.

When I read Anheuser-Busch-Inbev, I feel uneasy. Our local brewery (Labatt), once a powehouse in Ontario, was purchased by A-B-I. The purchases left me feeling that a lot of money, that once would have stayed in town doing good, is now being siphoned off to leave the town and the country. Do you feel A-B-I owning your brewery has been a plus or a minus for St. Louis?
The bigger the conglomerate, the less likely that it'll do its job well.
