Naprawdę nie chciałam wyjeżdżać z Key West, ale wszystko co dobre, kiedyś się kończy.. Czekało nas 34 godziny w autobusie, żeby dotrzeć do St. Louis. Szczerze mówiąc, nie planowałam odwiedzać tego miasta, ale przejechanie całej Ameryki ze wschodu na zachód bez przystanków byłoby po prostu niemożliwe. Przyjechaliśmy wcześnie rano i pierwszą rzeczą, którą zrobiliśmy, był bieg do toalety, żeby się umyć.. Chociaż „umyć się” to za dużo powiedziane! Jeśli uda się umyć zęby i głowę – to już szczęście. Tak, tak, nikt się nie przesłyszał, powiedziałam umyć głowę.. Mycie głowy w umywalce, a potem suszenie pod suszarką do rąk – to nie jest najprzyjemniejsze zajęcie, ale po prostu nie mieliśmy wyboru. W sumie to tylko drobne niedogodności. Miasto nie bardzo nam się spodobało, dotarliśmy do głównej atrakcji – Gateway Arch – to ogromny łuk nad brzegiem Missisipi, który symbolizuje bramę na Zachód. Pospacerowaliśmy trochę po parkach, zrobiliśmy zdjęcia słynnej Route 66 i znów wsiedliśmy do autobusu. W ten sposób w St. Louis spędziliśmy nie więcej niż 6-7 godzin.

St. Louis operates as an independent municipality separate from its surrounding county, creating distinct civic boundaries and stark neighborhood contrasts.
The city functions entirely apart from the surrounding county, maintaining separate municipal services and taxation. Residential life clusters into architecturally distinct pockets, ranging from the red brick masonry of Soulard to restored townhouses around Lafayette Square and adapted commercial warehouses downtown. Because bus routes run infrequently and taxis cannot be hailed from curbs, newcomers depend on cars.

Healthcare and scientific research dominate the employment base, anchored by the Washington University School of Medicine and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Nearby in Midtown, the Cortex Innovation Community gathers biotechnology firms and software offices into a dense technology district. The MetroLink light rail system connects these research facilities directly to downtown, providing reliable transit along that central corridor.
Ancient Mississippian earthworks earned the settlement its long-standing nickname of Mound City, while immigrant arrivals established idiosyncratic food traditions. Daily dining features regional items like toasted ravioli, thin crust pizza topped with Provel cheese, and gooey butter cake. Sharp economic segregation persists along the urban grid, leaving northern neighborhoods under severe disinvestment and elevated risk.

A local bus network called MetroBus provides additional connections across the metropolitan area. The lines converge downtown at the Gateway Multimodal Transportation Center, which also links to intercity passenger trains.

Crime rates vary considerably across different parts of the metropolitan area. Frequently visited districts such as Downtown, Forest Park, and the Central West End maintain active patrols and lower incident rates.

Źródło: WikivoyageWhy is St. Louis called the Mound City?
Before European colonization, the surrounding river valley was a major hub for the Mississippian culture, which constructed large ceremonial earth mounds. Most of the earthworks within the municipal boundary were demolished during later urban construction. The regional core of this culture survives nearby at Cahokia Mounds.
