We are not the most beautiful or prosperous or exciting city. Our seemingly endless, tedious suburbs appear to go on forever. But something I cherish is that St. Louis has a strong and durable core of weirdness. There are many cities that don't. Vive la différence.
These are some examples I found last Saturday. It is wonderful that Yogi Bear is surrounded by small children, superheros and has a police escort. In some sense, St. Louis is the perfect size. We are big enough to have this strange community and small enough that normal people can afford to live here. Even though I started life as a snobby New Yorker, I'm glad chance set me down here.

Weird is good. Fun snaps from the parade.
No difficulties here I see.
