The Cellar - View Single Post - The secret war between city dwellers and suburban dwellers

We've had a rebirth here in St. Louis, with a lot of people starting to move downtown and rebuilding shitty neighborhoods. Of course, there are other neighborhoods that used to be nice and are now going to hell. There has always been animosity between the city and the burbs here, especially given that the City of St. Louis is separate from St. Louis County.

Minus college and my 6-year sojourn out east, I've lived in the City of St. Louis. I love it, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I don't like urban sprawl and the cookie cutter-ness of some of the burbs. Having said that, I have no beef with people that enjoy suburban living...if that's what you like, awesome. And it's not like the City doesn't have its issues, namely with the public schools.
