C'mon Popeye, its convienence and madness all in one!! I don't mind Chesterfield Valley one bit, its not a crazy as people make it out to be.

Popeye I have a question, do you ever come out of the city? I'll go down to my buddies houses that are down in the city but when I try to get them to come out to my place its like I'm asking them to leave Ft. Knox or something.

Edit : It might be a long drive for thrill though, being from the Phoenix area and all.

Well I work out in the county (Webster Groves), so I leave the city every day. And sometimes I even venture outside of the 270 loop if I must go to a particular store that's only out there.

But outside of that, I don't really see a reason why I would need to leave the city. There's about 200 restaurants within a couple miles of my house. You can find pretty much anything you can find in Chesterfield Valley either on Hampton or Kingshighway. I don't work all that far from Brentwood, so to run up there to shop is not a big deal (outside of all the traffic).

If somebody has a poker night or something at their house in the county, I'll usually attend. Other than that, I don't see much of a reason to leave.

Don't shout. Everything does not look the same, the outside of Target looks nothing like the outside of Wal-Mart. And Golf Galaxy looks completely different than Golf Discount. See huge differences. I'm the same way you are except opposite. I rarely leave the county or even go east of 270, north of 70, south of Gravois, or west of 109.

However, I do go to the city for all my porn purchases, hard to find that out here.

I'm joking of course (not really).

I'm a suburb guy as well, I live out in Lake St. Louis. That was in response to Popeye's post the other day in the metrolink thread when I said I would stay out of the loop and the galleria late at night because all of the crimes happening there.

He said "STAY OUT OF THE BIG BAD CRIME RIDDEN CITY!!"....or something along those lines.

Both of us were kidding of course...kind of...the city vs. suburb debate has been on here numerous times.

I can't even get them to do that. God forbid they have to drive for over 30 min to get somewhere.

That's what I don't get. I'm never like, damn I have to drive all the way to the city if I plan on going down to their place. Its just one of those things.

my family is out near lake st. louis and they pretty much refuse to cross the bridge in to the COUNTY. They don't want to come in to St. Louis COUNTY. Much less the city.
