St. Louis can be like enthusiastic. It's a very energetic city and their pride, their hometown pride is amazing. Even the people that is from St. Louis and they don't take a lot of pride in, they still have more pride than others. Because when you, when you from St. Louis, you've been in St. Louis, you experienced the events in St. Louis, you more than just a St. Louis resident.
