I fear that St. Louis has a reputation around the country as a middle sized city of decreasing importance, a place where college graduates do not want to go for their first job. No point in criticizing regional civic and business leaders here (an impossibly big task) but the people of our area have wonderful energy and creativity. It's in action in these photos.

Don't apologize for your grand city B. It's got a lot going for it. I love your city's devotion to the arts and your parades are FAB! :)
