Actually if you look up when people talk about best cities in Midwest.... you will find your own STL people posting saying STL is better then Chicago.... I've rated KC below Chicago, Minnieapolis, etc..

oh wait thats right you just search for what fits your needs and ignore anything else.

I love KC so the KC vs. STL posts always kind of irk me. But while we're on the subject of skylines, I think you have a pretty weak argument here. Both KC and STL's skylines pale in comparison to much larger cities, but I do having the Arch gives St. Louis a very distinctive skyline.

But if we are arguing skylines = better cities then I guess Washington DC is the worst city ever, right?

Someone said why the comparisons of skylines... OBVIOUSLY people do care, look at how many there are on the general forums (so many that they said they were stopping skyline vs skyline threads temporarily)

If you read what I say you would realize I didn't say it meant a better city..... however it doesn't change the fact we have a better skyline, better downtown, etc.... and statistics (density, population, how quickly they are growing/developing) support that.... but hey go STL your burbs do rock...

Plus we have Lafayette Square, Tower Grove South, etc, etc, etc.......inside the city limits.
Honestly, I like KC, but you are getting just a bit shrill.

Your responses are on par with what a child would spout when having a tantrum.

Here you go:

What do you think when you think of Kansas City?

Your buddy KCMO saying KC is the same as Denver or MSP. The telling part of that thread though is what the outsiders say. They don't have any rooting interests and yet they always say STL is > than KC.
