All I'm saying is that for a place that has to struggle to gain population (minuscule at that) at each census and has a fairly decent crime issue, there are some quality of life issues there, and that you shouldn't fault people for having a negative influence of St. Louis. because of this. Or Detroit for that matter, or Gary, or Cleveland, or Balitmore, etc...

You might call crime and decaying infrastructure character, but it just doesn't do anything for me. I'm sorry.
After reading various threads for a few days and finally registering, and noticing this strange heated rivalry between Colts and afj, I'd like to finally settle it by saying this:

Colts, you obviously have some strange type of inferiority complex about Indiana, much like a lot of other Indiana residents I have met have. After going to school in Indiana and traveling to Indy dozens of time, I have to admit that your city isn't all that great. I think it's more of a town than anything...no offense. And for you to flat out say that "st. louis sucks" I think you and your fellow Indy lovers should highly consider looking in a mirror. It's so weird that you have such a disdain for st. louis...haha. So weird in fact that it makes me laugh. Is it jealousy or something? Is it the fact that the whole nation dumps on your state labeling it the armpit of America, worst state of the union, etc.? Is it the fact that indy is a mirage among a sea of cornfields, proving not to truly be an urban oasis. Here's some advice: take your hoosier pride and store it in your ass, and squeeze your sphincter hard so it never comes out. Living in Indiana was the worst experience in my life and the life of all my friends who have moved as soon as they earned their degrees.

No offense but from the city of Chicago, SHUT UP and get a baseball team.

Btw, have you ever BEEN to st. louis?

Friendliest city:

SAN FRANCISCO. People wait for you to walk across the street. San Fran is SUPER friendly. I mean, come on, that's where all the peace loving hippies went.

Name one location in HI with a ghetto sitting on azure blue water and a volcano? Youve obviously never been there. Ive never been treated with anything but kindness and warmth in Hawaii and Ive been there over 50 times over a 20 year period.

Maybe it was your friends that were the jackasses? ya think?
