St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis, Missouri really is a great place. Some say it is the most dangerous city in the United States, but they wouldn't know a good time from an enema (or a drive-by).

Gateway City

St. Louis calls itself "The Gateway to the West", which makes those who live in the city kind of angry. That is like saying, "We are proud to be that place that everyone walks through. Look at that huge arch! It's as tall as it is wide. How incredible! Now let's get out of here."

Music

St. Louis music rules. Let's just talk about Chuck Berry for a second. Thanks.

Tom Fucoloro '08 owns a record label with a couple of friends called Big Muddy Records that is based out of the city.

Baseball

If you are not from St. Louis, and you like baseball, then there is nothing more to say here. The city is pretty good at it.

Downtown revival

Downtown St. Louis has been bouncing back for about 30 years now. But it really will happen.

Downtown music venues

There are no more all-ages venues in the downtown area. The Creepy Crawl moved out by SLU, Mississippi Nights closed up shop and the Galaxy has been gone for a long time. The music scene has moved to some formerly lesser-known dives, which are more fun, but harder to find.

Baseball Village

With the new stadium, planners are trying to create some high class places to live in the area directly surrounding the stadium, which is smack dab in the center of downtown. The rest of the city just hopes they are not useless yuppies.
