Review of St. Louis, Missouri


Nice Place to Live Except for Climate
Star Rating - 7/10/2006
I have lived in St. Louis for 20 years. St. Louis has a lot to offer: culture, professional sports, wonderful universities, top hospitals, and is a haven of middle-class values. It is a great place to raise a family. Housing prices are affordable compared to other parts of the country. On the flip side, crime rates are high in certain parts of the city and county. Traffic is not bad considering other areas, but there is endless contruction going on. The worse condition has to be the weather. Summers are hot and humid and go on into September some years. The last several winters have been very mild with very little snow.

Summers in STL are no different than summers in the DC-Baltimore area, for those familiar with that region. A new invention, however, can help: It's called A/C. Ever heard of it? It works wonders! And as for the winters, I am not sure whether you are disappointed, neutral, or pleased with the recent weak winters. Sadly, this has been the pattern throughout the upper tier of the USA: Blame it Global Warming or on natural fluctuations in climate; it's your business. But you are certainly right about the recent winters.
