To most people, St. Louis seems like a completely different world. But to us, our quirks are better than other city's quirks. Here are ten quirks only a true St. Louisan will know.

1. It's Bread Co, not Panera

The first Panera originated in St. Louis and was called the St. Louis Bread Company. Another company then bought Bread Co, making the chain widespread and changing the name. However, in St. Louis, the name is still Bread Co.

2. Provel cheese is the best cheese

Provel is a special blend of white cheddar, mozarella, and provolone, that is seriously heaven. St. Louis style pizza is made with provel, and honestly it's the best pizza.

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

Seriously, where you went to high school is a big deal. Every high school has a stereotype, and where you went to high school says a lot about yourself.

4. You're a part of the best fan base in sports

Cardinals and Blues fans are seriously the best fans in sports. Almost every game is sold out, we cheer like crazy, and we will support our teams no matter what. Our athletes say it, and even other teams say it: we are the best fan base in sports.

5. We invented some of the best food

Ever heard of toasted raviolis or gooey butter cake? Yeah, they were invented here and are staples on almost every menu throughout the city.

6. The best place to get ice cream is obviously Ted Drew's

Technically it's frozen custard, but it's seriously the best ice cream and is a true St. Louis staple. This place is PACKED after every Cardinals and Blues game, and was recently voted the best ice cream in the world.

7. Most of us don't really live in St. Louis, we live in the suburbs

I don't really live in the city of St. Louis, but I always say that's where I'm from because it's easier than saying your county and having people give you a confused look because they have no idea where that is.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
