Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 1.6 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of St. Joseph instead of crossing town between them. Missouri Theater is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Il lazzarone Neapolitan pizzeria — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, and solo who want a planned St. Joseph outing without improvising between stops.
