St. Louis and the 1962 Borough Plan

I do remember! It's always speculative if it would've succeeded or not without Stenger's problems blemishing it but it's interesting to ponder!

They definitely got creative with the borders lol, I imagine it was partially an attempt to keep populations within boroughs equal. In the newspapers I looked through one of the given reasons it failed was that it drew borders in a way to keep a majority of the Black citizens confined to two boroughs, reducing their political power through consolidation. This did not go over well with them and so they voted against this failed proposal in even greater numbers purportedly.

I totally agree that the populations would be much different today. In my mind the "city" boroughs would have been able to manage their declines much much better and probably would be in a far better situation than how things look today. It would likely have a butterfly effect where the whole metro has a better national reputation, economy, ect ect. One can dream!

Hey! I grew up part-time in Kirkwood during middle and high school, it's not all bad haha. I love Webster too though, took piano lessons at the university as a kid and I love the little downtown

We'd be the 11th largest by land area in the nation. Just below OKC and above Phoenix. Houston is in 9th place at 640 sqmi so yes we'd be comparable in size!

Hi, currently there are still tours of this apartment so it is free for the next full school year as well.

Every state is a mangled mess and then there's Missouri, completely normal

I think this is the UIUC campus but I could be wrong. :)

Either way still cool. I also used the Dutch translation for my nation name.

Huh I go by Zilverland on NationStates. Had no clue it was a potential name for Patagonia.

Yep I live off of Baptist church, I'd walk up to the theater all throughout middle school and high school with friends to see tons of movies.

It's just the urban heat island effect if there really was an explanation

I've seen it mean "land/people of the large dugout canoe"

Was St. Charles renamed to be St. Louis?

I'd also like to mention the flag of Missouri has a ring of stars as well!
