1. No One Cares Where You Went To High School<\/h2>\n

Source: Flickr user Doctorow<\/div>\n

Finally! The questions about where you spent four inconsequential years of your youth end! Outside of St. Louis, no one cares at all.<\/p>\n

2. Root Beer Floats Will Never Taste The Same<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Facebook user Fitz\u2019s<\/div>\n

It\u2019s a scientific fact (kind of) that root beer floats made with Fitz\u2019s are just a thousand times better than root beer floats made with lesser root beers.
\nFortunately, Fitz\u2019s gets some distribution nationally, but you\u2019ll be paying way more than you\u2019re used to for a bottle of what\u2019s now considered specialty soda.<\/p>\n

3. Other Museums Are Total Snoozefests Compared To The City Museum<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

People from St. Louis are spoiled in a lot of ways, but the City Museum is probably at the top of that list. One massive art installation that feels like traveling to a different world? Yeah\u2026it kind of beats staring at paintings for three hours while you think about how much your feet hurt.<\/p>\n

4. Or The Awesome St. Louis Science Center<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Seriously, it doesn\u2019t matter how old you are. Even as an adult, animatronic dinosaurs are totally awesome and still a little scary.<\/p>\n

5. You\u2019ve Been Totally Spoiled By Your Music Scene<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Between the monthly concerts by the legendary Chuck Berry at Blueberry Hill, shows at The Pageant, and the spring Bluesweek Festival, it\u2019s safe to say you\u2019ll never be so lucky outside St. Louis.<\/p>\n

6. If You Say You Love Eating Concrete, You Might Get A Few Funny Looks<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Yes, Ted Drewes super thick concrete frozen custard is delicious, but outside St. Louis people will probably assume you mean you love eating the stuff they repaved their driveway with last year.<\/p>\n

7. Going To Union Station Usually Means You\u2019re Taking A Trip<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

And not just a shopping trip to one of the coolest indoor marketplaces in the city.<\/p>\n

8. No One Gives St. Louis Credit For Panera Bread<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user realcsi<\/div>\n

You\u2019ll find St. Louis Bread Co. just about anywhere you go, but for some reason everyone insists on calling it by a far inferior moniker.<\/p>\n

9. Not Everyone Believes In Ghosts<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user chris-yunker<\/div>\n

But then again, not everyone has been to the Lemp Mansion, or dared to stay the night.<\/p>\n

10. No One Else Gets As Excited When A Nelly Song Comes On The Radio<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user ann-dabney<\/div>\n

On the rare occasion that Nelly gets radio play outside St. Louis, don\u2019t expect everyone you\u2019re with to turn up the volume and break into an impromptu dance routine.<\/p>\n

11. You\u2019ll Have To Sell Your Organs To Live In A Similar City<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Tumblr user archisauce<\/div>\n

The cost of living in St. Louis is ridiculously reasonable when compared to cities with the same kind of amenities and a similar population. But hey, it was nice to live the good life while it lasted.<\/p>\n

12. And If You\u2019re A Renter, Your Apartment Will Never Be As Cool<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user pasa<\/div>\n

Stained, sad wall-to-wall carpeting, paper-thin drywall, and scratched linoleum are pretty standard in most affordable city apartments.
\nGone are the days of gorgeous hardwood, original moldings, and cool tin tiles that are ever present in beautiful St. Louis architecture.<\/p>\n

13. Don\u2019t Get Too Excited For A Trip To The Zoo<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user samdogs<\/div>\n

The St. Louis zoo is just too good and too free. How is it even possible to have a zoo of that caliber at no cost to visitors? Turns out, it\u2019s only possible in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

14. Asking For A Cup Of Sugar From Your New Neighbor Is Like Pulling Teeth<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Tumblr user strawberreli<\/div>\n

Major cities’ residents are notoriously a little more cold than those in rural or suburban areas, but St. Louis is one of the most charitable cities in the nation. The same \u201chere\u2019s the shirt off my back\u201d attitude isn\u2019t quite as common elsewhere.<\/p>\n

15. Other Parks Are Just Sad Compared To Forest Park<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Forest Park Forever Facebook<\/div>\n

A lot of times \u201cpark\u201d just means a few benches and a totally un-manicured patch of weed infested grass, not the 1,293 gorgeous acres you\u2019re used to exploring.<\/p>\n

16. The Cardinals Will Always Be Your Home Team<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user keithallison<\/div>\n

You might try to support the local baseball team in whatever new place you move to, but it\u2019ll never feel quite as satisfying or exciting as rooting on the best team ever, the Cardinals, at Busch Stadium.<\/p>\n

17. You\u2019ll Suddenly Be The Worst Driver In Town<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: giphy.com<\/div>\n

Even if you were one of the better drivers in St. Louis, you\u2019re going to be one of the worst drivers anywhere else you go. That may seem a little harsh, but\u2026c\u2019mon, admit it.<\/p>\n

18. The Winters May Be Brutal, But At Least St. Louis Makes The Most Of Them<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user dherholz<\/div>\n

Between sledding down Art Hill and the Loop Ice Carnival, people from St. Louis really don\u2019t like to be holed up at home in the winter like everyone else.<\/p>\n

19. No One Makes T-Ravs Like St. Louis<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user eekim<\/div>\n

Breaded and deep-fried ravioli is rare and treated as more of a novelty menu item everywhere else in the country. You\u2019ll never find toasted ravioli that even kind of compares to anything you\u2019ve eaten on The Hill.<\/p>\n

20. People Actually Try To Call It \u201cThe Lou\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: glee.wikia.com<\/div>\n

There\u2019s really no way to politely shut this down, but a firm, serious, \u201cNo!\u201d without any further explanation usually works.<\/p>\n

21. People Insist Mozzarella Is Better Than Provel<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user flyoverhangover<\/div>\n

It is now your mission in life to save these poor unenlightened souls by making them a classic St. Louis pizza with extra Provel. Just try to imitate Imo\u2019s Pizza as closely as possible, and they\u2019ll understand.<\/p>\n

22. Wash Will Always Be Warsh<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: reactiongifs.com<\/div>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter how long you live somewhere else, or how many people not-so-kindly remind you there\u2019s no \u201cr\u201d in the word, that\u2019s one St. Louis quirk that will always stick with you.<\/p>\n

23. No One Will Understand Your Love Of Clydesdales<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user 16801915@N06<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re in the passenger seat and spot a field of Clydesdales by the side of the road, don\u2019t count on the person driving getting excited enough to pull over, unless they\u2019re also from St. Louis.<\/p>\n

24. You\u2019ll Have Serious Cravings For Butter Cake<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user jmilles<\/div>\n

Be sure to bring your mom\u2019s butter cake recipe with you if you leave St. Louis. Finding a gooey, delicious, artery-clogging (but so worth it) slice at a bakery will suddenly become a thousand times harder, if not completely impossible.<\/p>\n

25. Not To Mention Crown Candy Kitchen<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Crown Candy Kitchen Facebook<\/div>\n

Leaving St. Louis basically just means your sweet tooth is going to go into overdrive. No more decadent chocolate malts at Crown Candy\u2019s counter is probably one of the hardest parts of leaving.<\/p>\n

26. You\u2019ll Start To Miss The Shane Co. Commercial On The Radio<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Tumblr user ayeeistanya<\/div>\n

It\u2019s actually just kind of like a form of Stockholm syndrome at this point.<\/p>\n

27. Definitely Order Red Hot Riplets In Bulk<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user pasa<\/div>\n

When you\u2019re far away from St. Louis and having a major snack attack while you\u2019re binge watching Orange Is The New Black, this advice will really come in handy.<\/p>\n

28. Your Liver Will Thank You<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user pasa<\/div>\n

There are a lot of downsides to leaving St. Louis, but your liver will be super happy at the lack of 3 a.m. bars in most other places in the country.<\/p>\n

29. You May Find Good BBQ, But You Won\u2019t Find Great Pork Steak<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user dherholz<\/div>\n

St. Louis isn\u2019t the only city with amazing barbeque, but leaving St. Louis means leaving behind all that delicious pork steak barbeque, and there\u2019s really nothing else that compares.<\/p>\n

30. Every Time You See The Arch You\u2019ll Feel Totally Nostalgic<\/h2>\n

\"30<\/p>\n

Source: Flickr user 26129297@N02<\/div>\n

Whether you\u2019re travelling back to see family and friends, or it just pops up in a movie or TV show you\u2019re watching, the Gateway Arch will always be synonymous with home.
