very little risk for the time being. STL has been in white flight since the '60's. I think it's overpriced and overrated. Some areas have relief and woods, others are plain depressing.

I just found this site and would like some more views of whether or not moving to this town would be beneficial. My husband has about a 90% chance of being transferred to Chesterfield for his job. I on the other hand would have to find another source of income. Will this be a problem for me in the near future. I am a Treasurer/Financial officer for the company I currenty work for. We have been looking for someplace closer to where we frequent several times a year for our hobby of jeeping and rock crawling, but I seem to be getting mixed vibes form the remarks I have read about living in or near Chesterfield. I was born in Kentucky, (my parents moved back home 14 years ago) but have lived outside of the Chicago since I was four. I am 46 and my husband is 53. All of our children are out of high School and we are looking for a place that is more laid back and less of the Chicago rat race, but now I am concerned if this will be a good choice for us. Any remarks are helpful.
