I moved to St. Louis City a little over 5 years ago. During just the first few months, renting a not-so-great apartment in the CWE, I was still surprised by how NICE Saint Louis really turned out to be. On the outside looking in, the city has a reputation which seems very hard to shake off. The problem with this coverage in the NYT and the crime statistics giving us a #1 we didn’t want a couple years back is that despite their inaccuracies and rejection of the story as we know it, they are the main data points people outside have to reference. Although we were able to show that the crime statistics were essentially bogus and although we have the great parks and restaurants and bike paths and free museums, we still have this reputation problem, which is real and I’m sure has a real impact. I’m sure it’s not as simple as having some big PR company come up with a sexy slogan for saint louis city, but we should all try to evangelize to a certain extent. I wonder how many letters to the editor came out of my zip code in response to the NYT…
I went to the first class of this series last night - it was great! As a first-time homebuyer / landlord-to-be, this information is vital!
