You'd think global warming, the financial crisis, and the immanent end of oil reserves would lead suburban St. Louisans to finally start rethinking their lifestyles and support public transportation. How am I supposed to get around town when I come to visit my family?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7006035116970579216.post-48310673179285879072009-05-02T16:33:00.000-05:002009-05-02T16:33:00.000-05:00Interesting map of St Louis and it makes clear two...Interesting map of St Louis and it makes clear two obvious facts:<br />1.
