You never really understand how unique our city is that we live in until you take a step back. There are definitely teams that we are proud of, roots that we enjoy digging, words that only we say, and food that you literally can only find in STL. To think of living somewhere else is definitely a game changer.

We all want to leave and explore all that this world has to offer, but let's be real, we will always have a little STL blood in us. (Not to mention that STL blood is blue. Sorry, it was just a good chance to throw in some STL Blues love) Even if you do end up moving away, here are a few things that you may see are not found in your new home. Only those who are from St. Louis will understand.

1. Cardinals. That's really it... Besides the fact that Cubs fans are dead to us.

2. And so are Blackhawks fans for that matter.

3. 44 = Farty Far.

4. "OPE! Just gonna sneak right past ya!"

5. We go to the zoo for free.

6. BPV.

7. The City Museum is the only place you will test your fear of heights.

8. You grew up stressing out whether or not you'd get a Six Flags pass for Christmas or your birthday.

9. Gooey butter cake.

10. Toasted ravioli.

11. Sun Drop.

12. If you drink anything other than Bud Light, you're a cheater. (I guess Natty Light is acceptable for all of you cheap college students...)

13. "I'm from the Lou and I'm proud." - Nelly

14. Fitz's rootbeer.

15. The Gateway Arch... Let's be real, we've all been there once and never go again but we recommend it to everyone.

16. RIP to the Rams.

17. "What high school did you go to?"

18. It's Bread Co. Definitely NOT Panera.

19. 270 is the largest parking lot in STL.

20. You find Styrofoam QT cups everywhere.

21. People NEVER use their dang blinkers.

22. Imo's, the square beyond compare!

23. Provel cheese.

24. You must look nice to go shopping at Frontenac Mall otherwise you feel out of place.

25. Going to the lake is a vacation.

26. The Magic House has turned into the Magic mansion, without that exact name but it has definitely expanded overtime.

27. You always end up having some sort of connection with everyone.

28. What happened to Chesterfield Mall?

29. Experiencing multiple seasons in one week.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
