Did they accidentally include north st Louis city housing stock that go for 10 to 20k? I can't believe the MEDIAN house cost is $128k....is that really correct l?
American Ninja Warrior ST LOUIS on NBC right now. Looks like they are between 13th and Tucker along Market. There's been a few cool shots of downtown both around the course and a few aerial from Illinois side. Soldier Memorial and Civil Courts dominating the background throughout.
What a ringing endorsement of STL, Ellie Kemper...Typical STL inferiority complex I can't wait for us to get over...yes, seemed too nervous and awkward.
Chuck Todd's piece is another reason for reunification. The city's f ed up stats drag down the entire region. When will people get this? We are the 18th largest metro and we act like we're the 67th. Cities half our size have more pride and tout positives that we have and take for granted.

St Louis is such an incredible city. I know so many people who have left and miss it dearly. A lot of St Louisans take what they have for granted and don't realize what it has until it's gone.
From Biz Journal: Forbes cites St. Louis’ low cost of living as an advantage: “Employees who make less in St. Louis, Phoenix or Dallas often live far better than their counterparts who earn higher salaries in the traditional money centers.”
The report also said the future looks even brighter: “Places like St. Louis, where the industry has grown and approaches critical mass, seem to be in position to make a serious bid for higher-end jobs.”
I know some of the area's financial services leaders have been trying to lure more firms here and hopefully we'll get a couple nice wins. I also hope that a pitch is being made to Charles Schwab for the back-end employees it will ship out of SanFran so that they can make a living.. I've heard of Texas and Colorado being looked at, but I hope we're making an offer that will be hard to refuse.
