Not just being a homer, I truly think it is. I’d love to see us become the widely thought of destination for the 4th holiday
The only thing missing this year is that Cardinals Cubs should have been at Busch, not Wrigley, since they got it last year

The acts we have been getting over the years have been pretty mid but this year it looks pretty good! Friday is going to be a party
Imagine what the local media would be doing right now if STL was hosting and this happened.
Having an image of a shooting from your super bowl parade shooting ready is ROUGHHHHH.

Man, this is horrible. It could not have happened at a worse time for KC.
Reminder that KC has a higher violent crime rate than STL despite having tons of low-crime suburbs part of the city limits that STL doesn't have. I bet their inner most 62 square miles has a higher murder rate than STL too.

^ the stolen items are getting more traction than the shooting. Millions of views on TNS Sports, 2M views on BBC Sport, 1M views on Sky Sports News. Sky Sports had a reporter on the empty streets of Downtown KC. Well over a dozen other accounts with 10k+ likes each.
KCs goal this WC is to outrun their local trouble makers, media, and AI images.

This is pretty hilarious...

Lambert's PR firm/BA got done dirty here. Set this guy up with a free trip to STL and he leads with this...woof.
What a trash headline. Stories like this kinda tie into my "vibes" POV mentioned in other threads. Unlike KC and many peer cities, we have 2 TATL air routes, yet in what should a great win for the STL brand, we get this sh*t. No one's fault really, but STL is seen as a city with bad vibes.
Ignore the naysayers, St Louis is a worthy addition to the BA route map
Despite a dubious reputation, Missouri’s ‘Gateway to the West’ is on a mission to lure visitors

Dubious reputation = most dangerous cities list.
Get us off those stupid lists one way or another and this reputation goes away.

May just be my perception but CNN seems to drag StL a lot. Like, way more than other national outlets.
Demographic alarmists are all blowhards. They’re the flavor of the month. These same people told us human overpopulation was going to kill us all for the entirety of the 20th century

Urban St Louis is still dense by US standards but people will constantly refer to it as "hollowed out".
Our underdeveloped downtown does not help, people judge cities on downtowns health, as most US cities, especially the sunbelt sprawlers, do not have great urban neighborhoods like St Louis.
What gets me about them is the so what? It's all just doom and gloom without a solution or even deep analysis of who is moving in/out and why.JaneJacobsGhost wrote: ↑2:04 AM - 10 days agoMay just be my perception but CNN seems to drag StL a lot. Like, way more than other national outlets.

The quality of reporting is so bad now. the Des Moines Register circa 1990 is a better source of news than anything we have in 2026 other than the NYT (maybe)PeterXCV wrote: ↑3:17 PM - 9 days agoWhat gets me about them is the so what?

I still question the legitimacy of census in early years and now even more so. STL city seems crowded and traffic on most of its major streets is significant.
Looking at the "realistic" numbers of city population loss... STL population hinged for decades on the housing infrastructure - mainly 2-4-6 (or more) family flats. These were largely occupied by large families and now are usually occupies by 1 or 2 persons. This type of housing design and infrastructure is very unique in most cities - except along the upper east coast and Chicago /Detroit/Cleveland/Pittsburgh.
Even with today's population in the city, it still is largely densely populated (except for portions of North City) and one of most densely populated major cities of its geographical locked boundaries. It is infuriating to hear the rhetoric of "how many people have left the city" in STL. Sure, the population loss is big - but can you imagine 800,000 people occupying the 61 sq miles living in the flats that still make up a large swath of our city? The per capita density for STL population in 1950 of approx. 800,000 people living within 61 square miles is approximately 13,115 people per square mile (that would be more than the city Chicago).

Cities comparable to STL's population density in 1950 today are:
-Philadelphia: ~12k
-Boston: ~14k (on only 48 square miles)
It's very imaginable, especially if you remember that the city's main mode of transportation was not cars and urban renewal had not really begun to happen yet, outside of the archgrounds. What's unfortunate is that the city was destroyed so thoroughly by highway destruction and urban renewal that today it seems impossible on the surface that STL was once a real city.

Much of South City is about as dense you’ll find in the US nowadays outside of a high rise residential district. There certainly will be more granular infill and the main N-S thoroughways (Gravois, Grand, Jefferson, Kingshighway, Broadway) can support a lot more middle density housing. The neighborhoods are great, the entries into such neighborhoods are not so great and need lots of redevelopment
We need to build build build and rehab rehab rehab large buildings in CWE, Midtown, Downtown West, Downtown
North city will take a lot of work. Some areas are still strong even tho tornado did a number on them (O Fallon, Penrose, West End). Old North has always had its little pocket that we continually need to infill and build out from. Some near northside areas like Academy/Visitation Park/Vandeventer had considerable momentum that the tornado killed. Ville has some nice streets still here and there but going to take lots of infrastructure and influx of residents.
We have the jobs to support more residents. Just need to attract the workers from outside and convince more people to live in the urbanized StL
