Never thought I'd be a thread Nazi, but this is an example of one that should be closed. OP, have some grace and leave St.Louis alone. They just lost their team and the fans that care enough to come here don't deserve their noses rubbed in it.

Let me try this again...... My point was not to take a shot at city of St. Louis. However, to make a point you're not in Kansas anymore, i.e Missouri. The fact there was a story on USA today about Jeff Fisher sleeping on an air mattress I found stupid. Welcome to LA, like New York there is always something to write about even when there is nothing. I do not believe you would see an article like that in the St. Louis PD with the difference in media size. Are we good now?

Considering the possibilities, i thought this thread turned out pretty good...

Not sure you've read thru it, but the thread is not what one would think based on the title

Saint Louis- 10 letters
Los Angeles- 10 letters

Dang, there goes that one

Yeah, your original post was not clear about that. Sounded a lot like "LA coverage good. St. Louis coverage bad".

Saint Louis- 10 letters
Los Angeles- 10 letters

Dang, there goes that one

And in both cases the "h" is silent.

Got me, I looked...

I've lived both places so I can try and answer this.

Though, full disclosure. I lived in St. Louis in the mid 70s. I then lived near LA (Claremont) in the late 70s.

So this is THE major difference between the 2.

1. St. Louis has better barbecue.
2. LA has better seafood.

If you need barbecued seafood, move to the Gulf Coast (I lived in Louisiana too, in the mid 80s).

Now that I have definitively finished this topic off, what do we discuss next?

.

I've visited both places many times and the food in either place is nowhere near as good at the top foodie cities. The food in STL is particularly poor overall. But keep in mind I'm a food snob who lives in NY and whose family has been in the food business here since 1906.

But I do recognize that people have their own tastes. I know guys who just love McDonalds and Domino pizza and hate the stuff I like.

Actually food wasn't really the topic. It was just a joke. So for example...there couldn't really be great fresh SEAfood in a midwestern town on a river. Besides it depended on a comparative. Seafood is better in LA...than in St. Louis. There was no effort to challenge the great foodie meccas in the world. No restaurant reviews required. Just a sense of humor.


..

I was attempting to continue the joke, actually trying to improve on it, hence the reference to McD's and Dominos.

As superb you are in many different areas, your jokes are invariably the worst. And it's a pretty well known fact throughout the cyberland. zn,smart guy, bad jokes. I, OTOH, have great jokes and a splendid sense of humor. Life just ins't fair in so many ways.

I think I read somewhere that I have the greatest avatar. In fact Abraham Lincoln made a joke about avatars and I think he might have even mentioned it
