Ditto. I love living in St Louis. Kansas city is nice to visit. Philadelphia is more in line with what I like. I'm feel so out of touch with Baltimore but I did like what I saw 15 years ago when I visited.

Feel like this will be a bloodbath. Philly alone would probably beat the other two. Not saying they are bad. But Philly is just on another level.

Philly alone would beat the other 3 cities combined.

I always wanted to go to Missouri but I have never been. I want to try the BBQ and also that funny cheese pizza they have in STL.

Never been to KC, but St. Louis has a really nice downtown, and the area by the Arch along the river is really nice. Nice and clean downtown with nice collection of restaurants, shops, and entertainment. Also some really nice inner ring suburbs.

Baltimore and Pittsburgh vs St. Louis and Kansas City would’ve been much better. Philadelphia is larger than St. Louis and Kansas City combined.

Exactly. Another lopsided thread. Do better at making the playing field more even.

Amenities east coast I guess
Architecture Missouri
Cost of living Missouri
Crime stats aside, I’d still feel more comfortable in Missouri
Culture Missouri
Diversity don’t care
Downtowns probably Philly helps out here
Food Missouri
Friendliness Missouri
Future of those cities
Good place to live/visit Missouri
Growth
Nightlife
Outdoor activity
Political views Missouri
Population density the less the better, Missouri
Quality of life Missouri
Skyline Missouri St. Louis arch and KC has one of the better ones around
Shopping
Sports culture Missouri
Things to do east coast
Weather east coast

Kansas City is the only one of these I’d ever consider living in.
Philly might be nice for a visit one day (been there for work and was underwhelmed) for its history.
Baltimore I couldn’t care less about.
