The STL Convention and Visitors Commission has decided that it needs to help St. Louisian's remember/recognize that STL is a great place to live. To address provide a local cheerleader for STL, the CVC formed the STL Civic Pride Foundation.
“Many people in our community underestimate the quality of life we enjoy in the St. Louis area. We want to remind them about our region’s unique blend of first-class, yet affordable cosmopolitan amenities and our friendly environment,” Kitty Ratcliffe, president of the CVC, said in a statement.
The Foundation will work to grow civic pride. It will be interesting to watch how this progresses. Having lived away from the area for over 12 years, I've found that I appreciate the area much more than when I was growing up. I hope this effort has success, because STL is a great place to live and we should celebrate that.
