I'm glad I live in the central part of the state and get to enjoy both cities without having to be in the pissing match. Both are excellent cities and I have fun and enjoy traveling to both.

Part of me wishes we had one big central city in the state, but having the two metros does have it advantages as well.

Are you looking for a Mazerati or a Bentley, FFS?

Otherwise, I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what you can't get in COMO.

I hope folks from KC realize that people from the St. Louis area don't give a shit about KC one way or another.

Chicago is the city that people from St. Louis try to compare St. Louis to, not KC. Has nothing to do with any opinion regarding KC. Chicago will always be our rival city in all aspects and I think that has to do more with how large of a city St. Louis once was.

I'm sure people from Chicago feel differently about being "rivals".

And please elaborate why St. Louis can eat a fat dick, Billay. Do you realize how big of a blow the Rams delivered to the area with regards to civic pride? I like downtown St. Louis and parts of the metro area, but it's fairly limited with regards to what it can offer socially. I like the Landing, Washington Ave. the Central West End in downtown, but after that, there's really not much else to do socially aside from BPV.

Also seeing someone mention Lamar Hunt Jr. buying a stake in the Blues, I don't see that. Ownership is 100% local.

Looking at a bunch of options but the XC90, QX60, Q7 and Discovery require me to haul my happy ass to STL or KC to test drive let alone maintain. At that level of SUV, you're a little limited and since I don't want to get stranded with no ability to have warranty work done on cars that are not cheap to fix, not having a local dealership kinda sucks.

Damn, I thought there was an Infinity dealership up there.

I can't speak to recent models, but I couldn't get rid of our Rover quick enough. That thing was a rolling money pit.

No X5?

Tech's a little too old; fun to drive but felt antiquated even before the newest generation of SUVs came out. It will feel like a (very expensive) dinosaur in the near future.

The local guys had new 2015 that was beautiful and they were dying to get it off their lot; metallic black with the blonde leather. They offered a full 30% off original MSRP. Hell, maybe I should've grabbed it but it just felt like it was going to feel out of date in a hurry.

Intrigued by the '17 Discovery. I hear they're maintenance nightmares but it sure is purty and frankly, they have so much riding on that thing that they'd better get it right (same with the VW Atlas that's also interesting). We'll find out when they start getting here in the spring, I s'pose.

RF I already elaborated on why I don't like St.Louis it has more so to do with sports than anything else. I actually thought about you when it was announced they were moving. I wasn't happy about it as it gave me a chance to see the Chiefs play on the road only a few hours away. Your community has been through alot with the whole Ferguson thing and I'm sure losing a football team has only hurt the community. Maybe I'll get over it someday but KC has been the neglected children compared to St.Louis when it comes to sports for most of my life.

[KCUnited]

**** this Dr. Phil bullshit.

Bout as flat a game from Chicago as I've seen all season last night. Fortunately, we got good Crawford and Dick Panik.

You can live in the city and not be involved in the pissing match.

I've avoided it for 44 years. I've said it before, I'll say it again - I've lived in STL my entire life, and I don't know anyone personally who has ever said a bad word about KC.

[Discuss Thrower]

I've never heard anything good about Rovers.

Further, I don't think there's civic disdain for KC from STL but there are some Cardinals fans that don't like Royals' fans based on being bandwagoners.

I don't like STL as a city to live in but don't mind the occasional visit considering the amount of friends I have who reside there. However, provel cheese is disgusting.

Sadly, nor have I. But if I wanted 'smart', I'd get a Kia.

God. Awful. So is that ****ing ewie gooey butter cake they love out there. T-Ravs are outstanding though.

Seconded. Had those at 3 different places on Saturday

I came pretty close to moving to St. Louis this year. Was runner up on a job offer, kind of glad I didn't get it now but that is a different story. I probably would have lived in St. Charles/Chesterfield area. Really like it that part of the world.

I'd move to St. Charles in a heartbeat; really neat little river town. It's like a slightly more upscale Parkville (which is where I grew up).

I like the suburbs of St. Louis more than the suburbs of KC but I think the city itself has blown past STL.
