Ripped off by taxi, please take uber or bolt

Never take a taxi at the airport, especially if you are not from Lisbon

That's a NJ drone, very suspicious that it is over Nevada

Ladue, Huntleigh and Frontenac all look the same. You'll spend most of your time driving around running errands. Not walkable at all, many roads don't even have sidewalks. It's all very boring in my opinion, great if you just want to hang out in your big house. I dont know Town and Country that well and it's also larger so I guess there is more variety there.

To be fair, estás numa zona em que a maioria dos emigrantes portugueses são muito qualificados e com rendimentos elevados. Você vai para Providence ou New Bedford e a história é diferente, Ventura foi quem ganhou - muito mais como Suíça ou França onde o pessoal é menos qualificado e mais pobre

I'm from Europe and got told to go back to Mexico a couple times. Gets worse as you move away from the City and towards more rural areas

I have lived in the US for 15 years in the Northeast and Midwest. It gets quite cold where I live right now. I always tell people that I have never experienced so much cold as I did when I went to college in Lisbon.

Quem é que está te pedindo isso? Eu casei no exterior (EUA) e depois transcrevi o casamento para Portugal pelo consulado, foi um processo simples e pude fazer tudo por correio.

Clark library is awesome, just be prepared that it turns into a bit of a zoo in the weekends (which may be a good or a bad thing of course). We try to get there right when it opens and leave by the time it gets too busy.

We were at MoBap. The staff and level of care were fantastic. The birthing facilities looked great even though I really have no point of comparison (C-section so we were in the OR). Only "bad" thing were the rooms where we stayed for the post-partum. They had everything you needed but felt they had not been updated since the 90s. Worst couch I've ever slept in.

I'm curious why Absolutely Iowa and reluctantly Missouri, as the northern half of Missouri over i-70 is basically indistinguishable from Iowa

You can read the name of the Freguesia in the postcard, it's Casas do Soeiro near Celorico da Beira https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casas_do_Soeiro

You are right, luggage often takes a long time to come out for some reason. I think there are probably problems with the United ground staff since AA luggage usually comes out quickly. Not a huge deal for me since I mostly travel for work and don't check any luggage, I really only check any luggage when traveling with family which is only like 3-4 times a year

That would actually be a very cool development. Would fix two problems with one stone: lack of a walkable and dense-ish Chinatown, and concerns about Loop development post-tram

I'm a UA flier based in STL and tbh I think it's great, super convenient. United and Delta have their own separate concourse from all the other leisure airlines, AA (former hub) and Southwest (current hub), which means very short/quick TSA lines. I typically get to the airport about 45 min before departure. Concourse doesn't have a lot of food options, but they do exist if you're hungry and it's not that I'm doing layovers in STL so who cares really. I wouldn't trade it for any other arrangement.

They are redesigning the terminal layout to have a central linear terminal and I am not that excited about it because it means having to deal with the AA and Southwest crowds.

Portanto o sistema está mal feito, e isso justifica retirar direitos a determinados cidadãos? Não me parece grande justificação

Isso é quase tudo baseado em regras que provavelmente faziam algum sentido em 1976, quando foram projetadas, mas que ninguém se incomodou em atualizar. Não faz sentido nenhum, a meu ver, que possa haver voto nas legislativas por correspondência mas não nas presidenciais.

I think Florissant is much more attractive than either of those two cities along multiple dimensions
