Moving - Ann Arbor Michigan vs. St. Louis?

[SWFLhntr]

Lake St. Clair is a better fishery than anything in MO that’s for sure. Even better if you buy a Canadian fishing license.

I have lived in St. Louis for my entire life but live in St. Louis County. The rough parts of the city are North City. When you hear about bad shit most of the time its from that area. There are some cool areas in the city to live though. As far as living goes look into all the suburbs in the county. There is a mix of Liberal and Conservatives people all over the city. The further out of the city you get the more conservative it gets.

Fishing and hunting you are looking at a minimum 1 1/2 hours out of the city heading West but there are some closer opportunity's if you cross river into IL. The Ozarks has incredible access for fishing small streams and big lake access. Plenty of conservation land for hunting as well. North of I-70 has the biggest deer. 4ish hour drive south to Arkansas has insane trout fishing on White River along with Norfork and Bull Shoals Lakes. Current River and Upper Meramec make for some incredible floats and fishing. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions and I will answer them if I can.

Deer hunting in Michigan blows. While I dint know about MO hunting I do know your close to some top states and about 6 hours closer to western hunting.

I got "stuck" in St.Louis for 15 years after finishing College there, and marrying a local girl. Summer's are absolutely brutal. 2.8M people - that's far too much for me. Traffic is awful. Like anywhere one lives, you can make it work, but it wouldn't be my choice to live there. I'd take MI any day.

Hunting is better on the IL side.

I lived near St. Louis for 12 years. I also visit there usually 2-3 times a year. If you think traffic is bad there, you don't know what bad traffic is.

Just because traffic is worse elsewhere doesn't mean it's not awful in St.Louis - it just means you're acclimated to really horrendous traffic in another location. Simple really.

Can guarantee traffic is far better in Ann Arbor than in St.Louis...

Apples to oranges. St. Louis is not even in the top 10 for traffic.

Come on guys, it’s a new year…arguing about traffic.

“Not even in the top ten for traffic. “


That one made me laugh out loud

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Actually, upon further investigation, not even in the top 25. Traffic is not germane to this conversation. I will cease.
