I've posted pictures a couple of times before of signs put up by the STL MADE organization, https://thestl.com/. It's a wonderful thing to have an outfit that promotes a sense of regional identity and pride, and honors the people who improve life in The Lou.
Still, I find some of their signs enigmatic. If you drove past this on the highway it wouldn't have any special meaning and I had to think about it for a while. What it may mean is that some of us should be entrepreneurs, create businesses that are exceptional and then not leave. I don't know if that last part is a problem or not. This is a pretty good place to live unless you are poor, black or some other minorities, sick and without health insurance - the usual American picture but more than average.
It has been 53 years since I came here for college. My New York accent is almost completely gone. I stayed and I'm glad I did.
