I don't think they're evil, just rich. I think you can make the argument that they benefit from a system that isn't terribly fair, but that doesn't say anything about them directly. It's a hate the war, not the soldier kind of problem.dweebe wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2022So where does this land us on the question regarding

Only going to get better when LHM finally builds out the parking lot. Maybe wishful thinking but at some point, at some time they must see greater value in their property.sc4mayor wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2022Here are some webcam shots as of today.
Seats are looking nice:
Always enjoyed this view with the numerous smokestacks, church steeples and brick homes in the background:

He was not a member of the working class, or even really the middle class. And while Wash. U. wasn't perhaps the institution it is today it was still the elite school in the state at a time when that meant more. Tuition alone isn't necessarily the best indicator of much. The movers and shakers in St. Louis mostly came out of Wash. U. even then. Just having a college education at the time set you on a path to success. And an education from a locally elite private school? That's where Missouri senators and St. Louis CEOs studied. And while the place wasn't Harvard . . . it still isn't.
Further, the fighter pilot thing is itself a class indicator. USN fighter pilots were, by and in large, from the upper, or at least upwardly mobile class. Before the war most came out of Annapolis. Prewar I believe there was precisely one squadron of enlisted pilots out of several dozen squadrons. Once wartime expansion really kicked in you started to see more ROTC "90 day wonders" joining the ranks, but the naval aviators were an elite in more ways than one.
Anyway, none of this is a knock on Taylor. But he didn't come out of nowhere. He had some significant advantages. Much like nearly everyone in that economic class. The myth of the self-made man is just that: a myth.

I never said Wash. U. was Harvard in 1940 or is Harvard today.symphonicpoet wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2022And while the place wasn't Harvard . . . it still isn't.
I missed it if he/she was. Apologies, if so.mjbais1489 wrote: ↑Apr 25, 2022I thought dweebe was being sarcastic - because both suggestions were truly caricatures.
Hopefully he was.
Or are we a knockoff version of theirs?
Knockoff usually means worse, i mean look at the roof on theirs and ours.
That's what I was wondering. Yeah, Nashville's stadium is bigger and they'll remind you a dozen times of that: but does that make for a better fan experience?sc4mayor wrote: ↑May 02, 2022^ I was gonna say...it looks like a soccer stadium.
...or an aircraft hanger.
I think Centene having its field below street level and the stadium surrounded by downtown buildings and high-rises will provide a more intimate setting than this though.
Wait for it.EssTeeEll wrote: ↑May 02, 2022^^ No new garage? Pathetic.
I though maybe air flow: but the stadium is on a hilltop so that's not an issue.RuskiSTL wrote: ↑May 02, 2022Why is there so much space between the upper seating and roof? Soooooo much space?!? And seating seems really gently sloped.
