At Heroic Photography's studio, clients pose for tastefully staged boudoir photo shoots. For other types of shoots, two photographers haul their gear to each of Heroic Photography's on-location photo shoots. This extra set of eyeballs and extra lens ensures that the best angles are captured at weddings and senior and family portrait sessions, and it can help capture a mix of formal and intimate moments. In addition to traditional prints, the shots produced by Heroic Photography can be consumed via private online galleries and hand-designed photo books.

The family-owned Wolf's Flower Shop has tugged at visual and olfactory heartstrings since its blossoms and bouquets first graced St. Louis homes in 1947. The shop’s skilled florists craft fresh blooms into gifts for any occasion, from wedding-day roses to carnivorous flytraps for visits to the DMV. Drawing upon a large inventory of vivid blossoms, tropical flowers, and potted plants, the friendly staff often pairs its floral arrangements with stuffed animals, mylar balloons, and other charming touches.

A tall mural with cheerful, stylized images of antique home furnishings and a well-placed arrow points visitors to the cherry-red front door of Little Shop Around the Corner. Inside the charming resale shop, tail-wagging vintage merchandise and upscale antique furniture, art, jewelry, and china await to be adopted by new owners. The merchandise is sourced from donations to the Missouri Botanical Garden, located just around the corner. Garden Emeritus Trustee Evelyn Newman dreamt up the idea for the store, whose proceeds benefit the Garden's research and educational initiatives aimed at preserving botanical life, conserving resources, and combating climate change.

After setting its wheels to the pavement in the early 1930s, South Side Cyclery today operates three stores in the St. Louis area that cater to cycling enthusiasts, with two-wheeled steeds, tools, and accessories by brands such as Giant, Specialized, and Schwinn. The ride-wise staff at each location guides riders to new mountain, road, or children’s bikes suited to any size, skill level, or fear of unicyclists. Visitors peruse more than 800 bikes in stock, enjoying free on-site assembly before wheeling their new toy off the lot. New rides include complimentary adjustments for one year, whereas all services—including tune-ups, flat-tire fixes, and chest bumps on the way out the door—also carry a 90-day warranty.
