I enjoy living in Downtown St. Louis. This is my first experience living on my own in a bigger city. I am originally from Springfield, IL. I'm enjoying Downtown because of all the different cultures and the restaurants I can walk to. I enjoy walking to the Arch which about four blocks away. I sit down there and reflect and look at the river. It is very peaceful and pretty during the blossoming months. The only thing I would change is to bring another NFL team here. I know the Rams don't want to come back but maybe another team. That will be awesome. Sad to see the XFL go.
If you like really busy areas, living close to the highway, and a variety of things to do (places to sit and eat, bowling, etc) then this would be the place for you. Crime is an issue and living by people that really care about where they live is hard to come by down here. I personally am not a "city" person. I dont like all the traffic and noise
it is awesome! could use some work tho! still love it but the crime is the worst and could get better
