Good bye!

After almost thirteen years of living in Saint Louis we'll be moving back to SC in a few weeks. We'll miss a lot of things about Saint Louis but some things we won't miss at all. Here's a top ten (or so) list of each. We'll miss:
1. Friends
2. Free stuff (Zoo, Botantical gardens, Grant's Farm, Tower Grove Park
3. Educational Instiutions (Covenant Seminary, Saint Louis University, Providence Christian Academy)
4. Cultural and Ethnic Diversity
5. Ethnic restaraunts (Indian food is so good)
6. Easy to get around
7. Aldi (That new dark chocolate is tastey and Winking Owl is so cheap)
8. PCA churches
9. Arch
10. City Architecture
11. Four real seasons (usually)
12. City Museum. Great fun. Makes me feel like a kid again.

We won't miss:

1. The city doorbell
2. Crime
3. What highshool are you from?
4. Lack of different grocery stores
5. No close beach or mountains
6. Waiting in line behind someone with foodstamps when they realize they got $50 too much
7. Pathetic mass transit
8. Division between city and county

Saint Louis has been, as they say, a great place to raise a family
