ST. LOUIS - s4story -- St. Louis, Missouri – "Inside The Real St. Louis," a local video magazine, has launched its first episode, according to Brian Creath, founder and managing producer of the new concept.

The first episode, "Fun Bars In South County," showcases four south St. Louis County bars: Murphy's On 21, The Lounge, Bar Down Sports Bar and Memorize At JR's, packaged into a 10-minute video, which can be accessed on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Creath said that the magazine looks to showcase smaller, independent, "hidden gem" businesses and destinations. "Bars and restaurants are our first focus, but we will be quickly moving to every other type of smaller business."

"Our mission is twofold: We want to provide people with a better way to 'visually experience' a place before they visit, and we want to give smaller businesses an affordable, quality marketing tool and outlet to present and promote their business story: their true brand," he said.
