@flystl Sorry STL Airport, gotta correct you on this one. 1876 was the year our beloved Anheuser-Busch was founded. St. Louis was founded in 1764. Great bar though!
@JABsMusic You won’t pay taxes on your car or house, but get ready to pay shit ton in sales tax! Also, we live in a society. Taxes are necessary for a functioning society. Take pride in paying your taxes, knowing your money is contributing to the survival and success of your community.
@0708America I think the benefits of having an extraordinary zoo that’s FREE in our city is well worth the money of STL and STL County taxpayers. I don’t see the problem.
Jane Jacobs identified exactly this sentiment as a great destroyer of urban life. Cities aren’t works of art, they aren’t “the product of a single unifying vision.” Artists and architects are little tyrants that want to make cities into lifeless sculptures.
Cities are organisms.
