1. Each new day brings a new season

One day it's shorts, the next it's a winter coat. One day it snows, the next day the pool is open! Missouri doesn't know how to chill when it comes to the temperature, and the weather people on the news will probably never guess it right.

2. Nobody has ever heard of that thing called a "blinker."

In order to drive on highway 70, you need to be a ruthless animal. It's dog eat dog on the roads, every man for himself, and blinkers are unheard of.

3. Everything is twenty minutes from you, no matter where you are.

Literally. Everything. Sometimes things that are only ten minutes away becomes 20 just because it's Saint Louis. Everything must be 20 minutes.

4. You always say "There's the arch" when you see the arch.

Yep, it hasn't moved.

5. You probably hear the words "hella" and "scan" a lot.

Only people from Saint Louis seem to understand what these mean. Anyone not from Saint Louis probably thinks you're speaking a different language.

6. You probably spend most of your time driving around when you're bored.

There's not really a lot to do in Saint Louis besides tourist things like the zoo, the art museum, and the arch. But there's tons of free stuff!

7. Ted Drew's is more important than air.

I would like if I said they didn't have the best banana splits.

8. QuikTrip is the place to go.

You don't ever know exactly how much you really use and appreciate QuikTrip until you don't have one anymore. How do people live without them?

9. You see a plethora of Mustang's and Camaro's.

I'm not sure anyone else has ever heard of another car. They're pretty, but people love revving their engines down your street and waking you up at 3am.

10. When you say Saint Louis everyone says, "You mean, Ferguson?"

Yes, we've all been to Ferguson and it's a nice place, but WE ARE FROM SAINT LOUIS, and we are known for things other than just Ferguson!
