Gateway Grumblers

Welcome to the Gateway Grumblers, where we engage in passionate discussions about the quirks and conundrums of life in St. Louis. Ready to dissect everything from our famed toasted ravioli and its suspiciously compact form to the inexplicable existence of the arch that still makes us feel like we're perpetually driving in circles? Here, we tackle the real issues—like why people insist on calling it 'The Lou.' Join us as we blend historical reverence with tongue-in-cheek commentary on local customs, sports rivalries, and our love-hate relationship with the weather. All St. Louisans (and honorary members who just love to complain) are welcome to share their fond gripes, ponder why we still haven't figured out our public transportation, and, of course, to critique the state of our beloved (but sometimes bewildering) home sweet home. Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a newcomer trying to decode the secret St. Louis handshake, you'll find camaraderie, chuckles, and perhaps an eye-roll or two as we navigate the delightful chaos that makes St. Louis a truly unique place to call home.
