Well, you're entitled to your opinion but the overwhelming majority will def disagree with you. River cities named after (different) french kings, similarities start falling off pretty fast after this. These two cities really don't feel alike at all to be honest, what made you pick Louisville exactly?

You'll never hear me argue that Minnepolis is more Midwestern than......anywhere! You win, St. Louis!

I think the Gateway reference was more for the country's aspiration to continue to explore the vast frontier that is America and inhabit every land from coast to coast.....not so much escape the Midwest. In fact, I think most of the people who migrated West came from the South, if I'm not mistaken.

One state pronounces the name: Mee-nei-sow-taah

The Other? MAH-ZURRAH

"Bunch of Swedes cames here over two-hundreds years ago, got fats and ugly. Huh. I loves it."

There you go, bro.
