ONLY IN ST. LOUIS

100th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


1. There are 75 "official neighborhoods" in the City of St. Louis.
St. Louisans commonly give directions (especially for restaurants)
to strangers based on these neighborhoods which aren't marked on
any maps that are handed out by the tourist board, the AAA or Mapquest.

2. There are 54 school districts -- on the Missouri side alone --
each of which has their own school bus system and scheduled
times to block traffic.

3. There are 91 official municipalities in St. Louis County.
Each Municipality has its own rules, regulations, and often
their own police departments.

4. More importantly, most have their own snow removal contracts
so it's not uncommon to drive down a road in winter and have one
block plowed, the next salted, the next piled with snow and the
last partially cleared by residents wanting to get out of their
driveways.
