Whether you’ve lived in St. Louis your entire life or it is slowly becoming your forever home there are certain things that every person in St. Louis has thought or experienced before. Here are 15 tell-tale signs that you’re from St Louis, Missouri.
Maybe your go-to pizza is a Deluxe, or maybe you and your friends share a Square Meal Deal before a night in with your favorite movies. Whatever type of pizza you get, if you’re getting it from the famous St. Louis style pizza, you’re doing it right.
If you’re from St. Louis, you’ll probably wear a pair of shorts with some rain boots and a winter coat at least twice a week. Missouri is one of the few lucky states that can have snow in the morning, sunshine by lunch and rain at night.
No matter how many beach vacations you take and no matter how far away your college is, you’ll always find yourself coming back to the Lou.
Let’s be honest.. if you’re from St. Louis, you most likely judge someone simply based on where they went to high school. Chances are you and your friends have either asked or answered the question, “Where did you go to high school?” at least a dozen times.
Cubs? Bears? Black Hawks? If you’re from St. Louis, yep you guessed it, you absolutely despise these sports teams. The only difference is that you probably love the city that they reside in. It’s okay if you want to strut your favorite blue-note jersey down the streets of Chi-Town.. we won’t tell.
In 2015, St. Louis was awarded “Best Fans in Baseball” by Forbes magazine. Nearly 76% of St. Louisans attended, watched or listen to the good ‘ole Cardinals baseball. So you betcha, if you’re a part of the best fans in baseball, you’re from St. Louis. Oh, and 11 World Series wins doesn’t hurt either.
“Hey look!! There’s the Arch!” is probably a phrase you either say yourself, or hear someone else say every time you find yourself downtown. No matter how many times you see the Arch, you react like it’s the first time.
Unlike other city museums, yours requires tennis shoes and knee pads. You get to climb around your 10 story (plus a roof) recycled museum with no limitations or rules. Underground tunnels and caves take you places you’ve never been before, like a 10 story slide. Oh, and have you seen our ferris wheel on the roof?
If you’re from St. Louis, chances are, you don’t have a football team. Rams who? Whatever that is.. it doesn’t matter because what you do have is a kick-ass hockey and baseball team.
“Hot in Here” and “Hood Go Crazy” are classic jams that you’ll most likely hear at any party or just around St. Louis. Other people you meet will either have no idea who Nelly and Tech9 are or they simply just won’t understand the musical geniuses that Missouri has provided.
Not only has St. Louis been voted the best zoo in the nation.. but it is also free. So even if your ball’n on a budget, the zoo is the perfect place for a nice day out.
Albert who? We don’t know ’em.
