Basing their rankings off of sales data of romantic novels, relationship books, romantic comedy movies, Barry White albums and various “sexual wellness” products per capita since the first of the year, Amazon.com has placed St. Louis at number 18 on it’s Most Romantic City list. To us that sounds more like St. Louis has relationship issues than one that’s naturally romantic. Why buy all that crap if you’re just naturally gifted with the ladies? [Read More]

St. Louis made #3 on a seemingly good list about the best places to go for Labor Day! What the hell is happening here? Something feels wrong…very wrong. We aren’t the only ones feeling it, right Ghostbusters? Exactly Dr. Venkman! “Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats…living together!” We are St. Louis. We don’t get on “good” lists and we don’t know how to take this. On the one hand it’s great to see St. [Read More]

#1 New York (JFK, LaGuarida, Newark) #2 Los Angeles #3 St. Louis #4 Washington D.C. #5 Boston Those are the five worst airports in these United States, as voted on by the readers of “Travel and Leisure”. Hey, at least its not about crime this time! Maybe folks just miss TWA: its old home, Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, is dreary to AFC readers on a number of fronts. It ranks last for its airline clubs—you’ll find only one American Admirals Club—and its food and shopping rank 28th and 29th, respectively. [Read More]

Some random site that reported that Mars (the candy company) said that St. Louis is the 6th manliest city, so it must be true. Web sites just don’t make things up for links you know?! …also did we mention that there is a secret Air Force base under the Edward Jones Done? The entrance is in the gift shop where no one would think to look. Via the “Top 50 Manliest Cities” study, COMBOS® – the hearty, pretzel and cracker snack made with real cheese – examines what makes a city manly and ranks 50 major metropolitan areas using criteria such as number of professional sports teams, popularity of power tools and frequency of monster truck rallies.

So yet another study says it sucks to live in St. Louis. Out of 67 cities, St. Louis came in 40th under the vague “Quality of Life” category. The study compared the performances of America’s 67 biggest metropolitan areas in 20 statistical categories. The highest scores went to well-rounded markets with healthy economies, moderate costs of living, light traffic, impressive housing stocks and high-powered educational systems.

That’s right! 10th! …and the best part is, this is finally a good list to be on! Now if you’ll excuse us… Hey Boston, where you at? Oh 15. That’s cute I guess…glad you barely made the list…it’s probably a “nice” size which we both know means its small. Kansas City! Looking good out there not even ranking in the top 15, its cool though, we hear fat chicks will take just about anything. [Read More]

In the last pseudo-official yearly tally before we get the numbers from the 2010 census form you are filling out as we speak, St. Louis clocked as the 18th most populated metro area. Just above Tampa, FL and just below San Diego, CA…two cities that we would rather be than here. We thought this would be a good time to celebrate other 18’s like… The 18th President, Ulysses S. Grant [Read More]

St. Louis is #3 on the most dangerous American cities list…again. Old news. We are always on there. We’re like that kid that wears the leather jacket no matter how hot it gets and uses a switch blade comb. We’re bad ass. We know it. Well, I guess not everyone knows it. (Watch out people at work, this dude is loud!) At the end of his little tirade, he shows the whole list. [Read More]

Take that every other United States city list that always has St. Louis at either the bottom or at the top when the list starts with “Worst…”! Someone just got named to the “Distinctive Distination” list! St. Louis was named among the 2010 Dozen Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) and could be named a “favorite” if the city garners enough online votes. The NTHP has recognized, since 2000, cities and towns that offer “an authentic visitor experience,” according to the organization. [Read More]
