fuck could you imagine the FUCKING SNOWFLAKE OUTRAGE had that scene come out in a new movie nowadays?!

What cracks me up is that any time there is a commercial with a burglar or thief, it is always a white male. I can only imagine the backlash if they portrayed a non-white person as a criminal.

We used to go every year when I was a kid and I almost moved out there myself 10 years ago. Kirkwood and Webster Grove are next to each other and both beautiful. Probably nicer than just about anything Chicago has to offer. I also liked Fenton and St Charles.

You'll love it. It's like a slower Chicago with more scenery.

Congrats on the promotion!

As a St. Louis county resident I suggest studying this map:

2018 St. Louis area homicide map | Special Features | stltoday.com

However, there are some great neighborhoods next to the worst areas. There are a lot of small municipalities around the airport and there are often speed traps. Unless you are set on wanting to live in the city the "west county" communities may be your best bet. Fenton may be a bit of a pain if you are driving to the airport during rush hour.

Congrats on the promotion and thanks for serving!

It's fun to go up in the arch during a Card's game (if they haven't built a new stadium since I was there years ago). Interesting view of the park.

Missouri drivers don't slow down for hills or curves. I had a rental minivan and had to keep stepping on the gas to stay up with traffic.
