50 Things People from St. Louis Will Argue About Forever
We're good at a few things here in St. Louis. Drinking, for one. And crime, we're super good at crime. We're also great at being awesome and kind and generous and community-minded. But there are some things we just can't agree on. Nope, some local topics will just be debated to death in dive bars, at trivia events and while we're grilling pork steaks. Here are 50 topics that we, as a city, will never agree upon no matter what.
