Millions have seen St. Louis. 99.9% were just passing through.
Poor you. The most inhospitable summers I ever experienced this side of Delhi were in St. Louis. They literally have a crisis plan the city puts into effect now and then to open emergency air conditioning shelters to prevent people from dying.
The need is often compounded by the occasional blackout and brown-out.
Come to think of it, it's a lot like Delhi.
It has its odd charms. The downtown streets are a mess of one ways that always seem to be going the way you don't want to go. Forest Park is nice though.
