St. Louis is unique in many ways to other cities I've lived in. I enjoy more outdoor activities because of the longer warm months that spring through fall bring. I also think a small town feel in a big city is hard to find; everyone knows everyone!
We live near Clayton, which has a variety of indoor/outdoor cafés, and also near the Delmar Loop, which has the popular and historic Blueberry Hill and Fitz's, as well as several great ethnic restaurants. There are great restaurants within walking distance of our house in University City, MO. "The Hill" is an Italian neighborhood with dozens of restaurants featuring authentic Italian cuisine.
St. Louis is unique because of the slew of things to do, its size, and proximity to several other large cities. Its size doesn't overwhelm me, and I can get to places like Chicago, Nashville, Memphis, or Indianapolis in about 4 or 5 hours.
I love the comfort I feel from the city. It's a good size, not too small, not too large. It's easy to navigate and we get all four seasons. I also love that its central-Midwest location means we aren't ever too far from our friends and family across the U.S.!
