I'm a conservative from St. Louis, and have been a frequent poster on a local forum there, but it seems to have become nothing more than a group of people who find it more entertaining to insult each other than to discuss the topics of the day. Looking forward to reading other points of view.

I've always liked St. Louis. There's something magical about crossing that long bridge over the Mississippi River and realizing you're in the South now. It's like once you've crossed that bridge, a whole new world of possibilities opens up to you.
I haven't been to St. Louis since early Spring of 1977 when I went with my high school choir on a trip from northeast Indiana. It was a lot of fun. We saw B.J. Thomas perform at Six Flags. The crowd was pretty sparse because it was raining all that day. A few of us yelled out "Thank You" to him, and he acknowledged us with a nod. The best part of the trip was going up to the top of the Arch. THAT was so cool! The scenic look you get up there is just fantastic. I would like to go to St. Louis again, just to experience that one more time. And I would definitely check out the blues music scene. I didn't become a TRUE blues fan until the mid 1990's, and had no interest at all in the music when I was in high school.
