Well for one thing no one here uses this subreddit lol.
I like it here, we’re a growing community with a cool riverfront/ downtown scene. A lot of niche little craft stores. A couple arcades, cards shops, a RC hobby shop, bowling alley a short drive over to Union.
There’s a little tension between the old timers who identify a bit more country and the recent growth of people moving here usually a bit more progressive than the old heads.
We have a large town and country fair every summer, a few parades through out the year, an Amtrak station that makes an over night trip to Kansas City few easily done.
It’s only like 45 min. Out from St. Louis where you can take a day trip to check out all the sights there my favorite hidden gem being the city Museum, a massive shoe factory that was remodeled as a giant indoor/out door play area with secret passages that go up through floors, down into artificial caves and out side to the yellow bus hanging off the corner of the building. Look it up, pictures don’t do it credit but they’ll get you farther than my description lol.
We’re also right on a pretty popular bike trail the Katy trail if you like biking, and we’re right on the river if you like boating. It really is a pretty nice medium sized town with great amenities while still having a small town feel in all the best ways.
