This conversation from Meet Me in St. Louis pretty much summarizes how I feel about our great city…we don’t have to travel to get here…it’s all right here where we live!

Esther: [about the Palace of Electricity at the World’s Fair] Oh, isn’t it breathtaking, John! I never dreamed anything could be so beautiful.
Mrs. Smith: There’s never been anything like it in the whole world.
Rose: We don’t have to come here on a train or stay in a hotel. It’s right in our own home town.
Tootie: Grandpa? They’ll never tear it down, will they?
Grandpa: Well, they’d better not.
Esther: I can’t believe it. Right here where we live. Right here in St. Louis.
