My home is in Webster Groves, Missouri, an older, inner suburb of St. Louis proper. It's a nice town with a close community, an economic mix, solid (and mostly older) housing and lots of services. No big box stores unless you count a supermarket. The nickname of the high school teams is the Statesmen, after Daniel Webster, not something violent like the University of Missouri Tigers or the clownish St. Louis University Billikens.
July 4th is a big deal with an hour long parade wandering through the streets. It's very hot and humid today (welcome to The Lou in July) but the whole family went down, found a reasonably shady spot and watched the spectacle. Big fireworks tonight if the thunderstorms hold off.
