St. Louis grows on you. I still can't handle alot of the people, but it has some cool parts. If I can park my car and feel safe, then I enjoy St. Louis alot.

I wouldn't want to live there, but I wouldn't want to live in any big city, KC included. We have friends who still live in StL though, and they like it and are part of a great food/music scene there.

Kauffman Stadium is just fine where it is.
It's fun to visit other cities to watch baseball. I haven't been to new Busch, but went to old Busch many times. I've been to Wrigley and The Cell in Chicago, Metrodome in Minnesota (it seriously blows for baseball) haven't been to Target Field yet. Been to Camden Yards, Old Yankee Stadium, Old Candlestick Park. I'd like to go to Fenway. |

Amen. God I hated that piece of crap. Worst ballpark ever. And I hated having to downplay how much it sucked because my team played there - like defending some asshole relative just because he's family. It was an absolutely miserable place to watch a game on a hot humid day because there was no way for a breeze to get in, and as we know, most summer days in St. Louis are hot and humid. I can only imagine how much the players must have hated it. Night and day difference between the new and the old.

I took a ton of pictures of our trip; I'm hopeful to get them downloaded tonight to see what/if any from the game came out well.
damnit I need a zoom lens bad. That's next up on my purchases.

I'm here on business this week. Been here dozens of times over the years. It's fine. All I've noticed this week is that the Cubs are in town and the traffic is as bad as it always is. No city has more highways "under repair" than this one. Every year I've been here. Under construction, traffic jams for miles.

St. Louis has an inferiority complex about Chicago/Kansas City residents who lack an awareness of irony.
