I have not read it in years, but I do feel that it's required reading. Yes, it's a great exploration of racism and gives a glimpse of a small town/village life in the early 1900's. For me, what touched me the most was Scout's relationship with her father, how that was written as well as her relationship with the…

Ugh. That has GOT to suck. Really sorry about that. Have you tried Dermatone? Might not have the same active ingredients in Blistex that gives you that reaction?

Don't get the love for Burts Bees, all it feels like to me is wax on lips and nothing else.

"1. Yes, I do. But it's weird to argue so relentlessly about how good the Cardinals are at baseball on a food blog about St. Louis food, which is bullshit, that offhandedly mentions the Cardinals, but says nothing about whether they're good or bad."

No, no you didn't get it. If you did, you wouldn't have found it stupid.

Never said the city wasn't in decline. STL most definitely is and has been since the 80s. But hey, it's great to make fun of once a great city that's in serious decline.

I don't live in STL (haven't lived there in 23 years, but that is my "hometown"). At the same time, yes... STL is insular. No doubt about it.

I'll still be here. Thanks brilliant writer! Won't be going away anytime soon!

Yeah you clearly didn't get it.

You do know these articles get cross posted on other Gawker properties? You do know that he was also commenting on STL's baseball?

Never said they were as good as the Yankees. All I'm claiming is despite the small market size of STL, it's pretty amazing from a historical purpose that they have done so well and arguably the 2nd best franchise in MLB history. That to me is saying something, especially where you compare markets where the $ spent…

Not angry, just looking at you pathetically. Nice try though!

Shame

Nah, it makes you close minded. Great try though!

Is it? I find it sadder that someone has based their writing career on making fun of regions they probably have never been to nor have tried anything in that area.

True, but Cards have been in the WS nearly every decade except for the 70s. Also, compare the markets: NY vs STL, SF vs. STL, etc. For STL to be even near the top, with their market size, you have to admit is impressive.

I play a poet on TV.

It's better than American football.

I don't live in St. Louis. And yes, it's a sorry place to where it was once was. Missouri, home of Twain, and the entrance to the West.

Look at history. 11 wins world series wins for the cards. That's #2 in World Series records.
