  7. When I was young - early sixties - St. Louis was considered an economic force, with a great future. The Arch, along with the revolving restaurant/hotel, were new. We had McDonnel-Douglas, Southwestern Bell, First National Bank-Bankmark-then Centierre, Corvette, Brown Shoe, Purina, and more, with Purina being the little guy in the mix. Now, we get to say we have "Purina" as a claim to fame.....

  16. In California, the homeless live in so much of their own filth, the city hoses off the sidewalks regularly, to rid it of feces and trash.

  17.  @chamonix4658  Low crime rate.
