Or medieval mayhem with a civil war apocalypse thrown in.
Sometimes this town is so embarrassing. We have not done ourselves favors over the last 8+ years. It's a shame... It's all misinformed reputation. First, I believe most of the us viewed St. Louis or the Midwest as hick town. Not even close. Also, major, major crime and violence. Yep, in pockets of the city I would never go anyway. The rest of the area is very proud of our city.
It's so hard to defend it, when we, as a town don't promote the good things here. I'm really tired of it. My thought has always been, we are the center of the United States. We should be a major city in the context of things. But no, not even close.
