St. Louis Edit Meaning

1.

While not technically the largest city in Missouri (that honor belongs to Kansas City, due to some creative annexing and stupidity on St. Louis' part), the entire area's a lot bigger and more influential. Home to Budweiser, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Gateway Arch, this city of roughly 2.8 million people also has some good music, good food and weird customs. It's pretty much Boston-on-the-Mississippi: mostly Catholic, very insular, loves baseballa little too much, has an inferiority complex (here it's with Chicago) that we take out through baseball. It's got a lot of bad points, too: we live too much in the past, we've deluded ourselves into thinking we're either still really important or just a "big small town", and we can't support a football team worth a damn. Overall, it's a very Midwestern city: misunderstood and a little weird.

"Where did you go to high school?"--If you can't answer this question with something an average person born in St. Louis can understand, you're fucked. Seriously.

See missouri, arch, hoosier

2.

The best friggin city in the entire United States, if not the world. It features great cuisine, amazing people, and awesome schools. Among its more famous attributes is the Gateway to the West, aka the Arch; as well as Forest Park, the St. Louis Zoo, Six Flags St. Louis, and we are also the hometown of Busch beer. It is also the well-loved home to the Cards, Rams, and Blues. Also, the people of St. Louis know that there is no "r" in wash, which just makes them cool.

Random person: "Where are you from?"

STL person: "St. Louis"

Random person: "Wow! That's so cool! That city's awesome."

The Greater St. Louis Area is the only urbanized area in the state of Missouri. (NOT MIZ-UR-AH!) There are NO farms in the area short of the tourist-y places like Grant's Farm, but even that is at least a fifteen min. drive from the city. Essentially, the entire Jewish population of Missouri lives in the suburbs of St. Louis and surrounding areas like University City,(aka U City, or Jew City.) Once you are half and hour's drive from St. Louis, the trailers get bigger, the trucks get bigger, and the people get bigger, and congratulations, you're officially in MIZ-UR-AH, the redneck part of the state.

5.

A place that only people who are NOT "native St. Louisans" are able to recognize as the corner of hell it truly is. The delusional hicks who were born and bred there like to imagine themselves being at the very center of the universe. If only these obese morons weren't so lazy they'd realize how pathetic it really is.

Aside from a halfway decent yet obscure university (WashU), a mega piss-factory (Budweiser) and a great baseball team (Cardinals), there is nothing to recommend this place. Unless, of course, you happen to have a thing for ugly women, in which case St. Louis is just the perfect town for you.

Stupid St. Louis Laws

-It's illegal to sit on the curb of any city street and drink beer from a bucket. This law refers back to the extinct Italian celebration, Hill Day, when beer was served in buckets.

-A milk man may not run while on duty.

7.

A corrupt, dirty, midwestern city on the border of illinois that has one of the highest crime, theft, obesity and std rates in the country, has one of the lowest literacy rates and is still stuck in 1960's. Thier only claims to fame are the arch, a retarted knockoff of horseshoes called washers (prounounced warschers) and toasted ravioli. Almost 95% of guys in st. louis are pink polo shirt wearing, collar poppin, wanna be frat boy douschebags. About the same percentage of girls only care about what you drive and how much money you make. Everyone in St. Louis thinks they know each other so you will be constantly asked where you went to high school and who you know and hang out with. Also you will be judged on where you grew up or which part of town you live in. West= posh and stuck up SOUTH= white trash EAST and North= ghetto. Also the word ignorant is used no stop and no one really knows what it means. ex...

Person A: Wanna go to boogaloo and get a drink?

Person B: Boogaloo! hell no that place is ignorant.

Also the weather is humid in the summer and cold in the winter. St. Louis also has a scary insect problem (espically cockroaches. If your planning to look for good bears in St. Louis your screwed. They only have 1 mediocre brewery called schlafly, and other than that it's all budweiser. If you go about 1/2 hour anywhere outside the city limits your in the country and can visit renouned places like Bob's one stop which sells boats, propane, alchohol and guns, and hang out with pregnant ladies with mullets wearing camoflage
