a: St louis ~
b: Moscow before Nixon visited in 1972
What: "St. Louis is like Moscow before Nixon visited in 1972," jokes KMOX (1120 AM) radio host Charlie Brennan. "Moscow put their best face on; it was kind of a detente. They put new sod down all over, and flowers were planted 72 hours in advance. The city never looked better, but the Western journalists found it funny."

St Louis As Boring Baltimore
a: St louis ~
b: Baltimore but much less interesting
What: "St Louis is like Baltimore but much less interesting. It is also somewhat slower-paced than Baltimore, although as others have said Baltimore isn't terribly fast either. Actually I'd say that a good way to describe Baltimore is that it has St Louis's culture/vibe combined with Philadelphia's physical architecture."

St Louis As Old Shoes
a: St louis ~
b: an old, dull, dirty pair of patent leather shoes
What: "St. Louis has always been an interesting and dynamic city. St. Louis is like an old, dull, dirty pair of patent leather shoes. Its still a quality leather shoe, but the better you take care of it the more it shines.
Also, I would be willing to bet that Chicago gets a shitload of St. Louis youth in any given year. Probably one of the biggest markets for St. Louis expats."
