Glad I left as a teen. My headmaster got cancer and parkinsons in his 60s. He died with a lot of life left.  What's worse than what the Feds did, though, has been the city's inability to create a climate that is good for business. No entrepreneurialsm and my whole family picked up and went to Texas. 

 that’s sad :( luckily my family’s business has been thriving since the 70s 

 Stl has been good to us here, it’s been a blessing. 

 STL will always feel like home to me, but now I only come back for funerals.
