Did you know that Saint Louis is actually the 18th largest metropolitan statistical area? Might put it on the upper side of "mid-level" if it is that at all. On a related note, you might actually enjoy doing some research on why STL has the issues it does today. Was poised to be the number one city in America and then took some huge hits. Wrote a huge final paper on it before I graduated and found it quite fascinating. Awesome post!
