This may be old news, but a few months ago I read that the World Leadership Forum selected Kansas City as a finalist for their annual Urban Renewal award, with the competition being Manchester (England), Calcutta (India), and St. Louis. Well, I never did follow up to see who won the award, but it looks like last December it was awarded to the city of St. Louis.

But don’t worry, there won’t be much of a St. Louis lovefest going on in here. So to remind everyone not to be envious, here are 10 Reasons Why St. Louis Sucks

1. They totally ripped off their major landmark from the McDonalds corporation.

2. Self proclaimed “Gateway to the west”. Pretty pompous if you ask me.

3. First settled by the French.

4. Home of the worst World Series championship team of all time (hey, if we have to put up with that “06 Steelers were worst Super Bowl team” crap, why should they get off so lightly?)

5. St. Louis style ribs stink. The sauce is runny and they pale in comparison to Texas style.

6. Ever had a Budweiser hangover?

7. Gretzky played there.

8. Tony Twist doesn’t play there anymore.

9. They stole their NFL franchise from those poor die hard football fans in Los Angeles. (wow… that was even hard for me to type)

10. It stinks so bad that I can’t even come up with a tenth good reason.
