i'm going to have to re-watch the movie parenthood, not even sure i've seen it. i'm sure the reference is NOT FLATTERING. ha. really weird that the movie was set in st. louis (although the late 80s was a golden age of films set in the midwest, particularly st. louis but primarily chicago) but filmed...

I wish we would open the st Louis thread back up.i do have a deep love for St Louis but it's like the loser brother in the movie Parenthood (set in St Louis) in that a don't see a future for it's core and it will struggle for a long time. are you originally from st. charles county or something damn...

i commute to creve coeur inside 270 so its 15 minute easy car trip on olive. i *am* endlessly jealous of the people who commute by foot to downtown clayton- i’m under thirty minute walk to forsyth so i’d do it if i could. it’s a whole thang. the deep south city to west county commute when i worked w...

i've said this elsewhere, but my main beef with STL is that the very real "cool factor" and abundant charm seems relatively outweighed by the "pain in the ass factor" of relatively bad traffic and attitude compared to KC or other cities. some cities are so cool and exciting it's...

everyone on the east coast likes to crap on philly but center city is probably the most enjoyable, varied, walkable, fine grained immediate downtownish built environment i've ever stayed in, in north america. i like other regions better but as far as a long weekend without a car, it's hard to beat t...

Quit your drivel. Next you’ll be talking about the St. Louis Steamers and “soccer USA” and how it’s the center of the soccer universe but are just now back peddling into an MLS team when the league has been around for decades. Enjoy your Expansion team. the blues are an Expansion team i'll take it....

When I ask why outsiders who lived in STL left, the common answer is around tense/uptight people, not crime, and those who stay is for the job. this one could also be related to the fact that there is a massive boomer population in st. louis, and less a regional characteristic. people tend to be fa...

He said that in STL, when shit hits the fan they run around like chicken with head cuttoff coming up with overly complex solutions to catch the flying shit. In KC, they unplug the fan. hahahahah. not going to argue this one, he may be on to something. the vast and varied mid century urban renewal s...

i expected nashville to be higher but i guess owe that to their outrageous hype machine.

i've been to maybe 40 airports and, to be honest, other than LAX and DIA, i am not sure i can picture in my mind the exterior of any one of them. i can picture aspects of the interior of a few airports in my mind, but not b/c of striking design--mostly b/c of some bad memory of being delayed and be...

Man, this thread got weird. Quit your drivel. Next you’ll be talking about the St. Louis Steamers and “soccer USA” and how it’s the center of the soccer universe but are just now back peddling into an MLS team when the league has been around for decades. Enjoy your Expansion team. the blues are an ...

stl is kc's papa don't be mean to papa

St. Louis has some of the best historic residential stock that I’ve seen available. Meh, I’m kind of with the kids on this one. St Louis has a fairly unique look. It’s just not one a lot of people really want, or the downsides to St Louis do not outweigh whatever charm someone might feel, and there...

St. Louis has some of the best historic residential stock that I’ve seen available. Pre-1900, handlayed brickwork, plasterwork is amazing and are all super cheap. They just don’t have as many young people who want to see a better urban society develop. Honestly, if I could stomach the city at all I...

I have no problem disliking both the Cubs and Cardinals, so I like to think I can adapt and still dislike the Fire quite a bit. I just want Indianapolis to get a team so I can let my full hatred rage. why is that, because they are sort of the closest analog to kc i guess? indianapolis is closer (an...

I think it's something SKC should embrace. If for no other reason, it will resurrect some of the Missouri /Kansas borderline rivalry which the Cards / Royals doesn't satisfy. I'm sure StL will embrace a 3-city rivarly. Chicago and KC will be natural, and more and more, Trashville is becoming a heat...

shit, STL going NEGATIVE? how is that possible, esp. with the cortex corridor? or is that not considered downtown? Cortex not considered downtown and they may be choosing CWE area. But even so STL is not doing well with brain gain. They are generating more tech degrees than KC but losing them. http...

Great. STL has a team for 5 minutes and they're already telling us how wrong our city is doing it. Best fans in soccer? I kid, I kid. Looking forward to a new stadium in downtown STL. Won''t hold my breath for Sporting ownership to commit to downtown kc. Based on my experience with baseball, now th...

https://goo.gl/maps/8vRhKuG7TCjKzu7a9 i guess theres granite city brewery there. there's not even a sidewalk cut between the parking lot and the sidewalk, though. one of the primary experiences of having an urban stadium anywhere/any sport is being able to somewhat participate in the overall experie...
