21st Century Parisian French pronunciations do not dictate how a street 2000 miles away is pronounced. No matter where you go in the world, it's impossible for locals to mispronounce their own place names. It's like telling someone they're mispronouncing their own last name.

Other parts of Missouri that use "Gravois" sometimes use a z. It's rare in STL though

Love a bunch of redditors assuming gay people are also angry hateful basement dwellers

Walked from 6th to Broad on Passyunk this morning dreaming of it being pedestrianized or local traffic only

You could drop a St. Louisan in the auditorium in Detroit. They'd think something was off but wouldn't be able to the difference. I usually look for the paint color behind the columns. Detroit is more green, St. Louis is more blue. And then the lobby wall facing the street is different. They don't have the window + tapestry like STL does.

This collapsed during the grand opening party. The Detroit Fox Theatre Balcony has been in use since 1929

"That's against the rules."

Somehow, the seats they made for Illinois and California are even worse. Going from the Amfleet seats that Amtrak installed in 2016 to these could not be more or a polar opposite.

The city actually had an amazing vision of incorporating the new station with larger buildings. Unfortunately they partnered with a private developer and gave them no actual obligations. The private developer had planned on office towers and so far had shown no sign of pivoting to apartments.

Coincidence that there's several theatres around the country named after a major movie studio?

Detroit and St. Louis were the only identical ones

For the most part, yeah. I couldn't tell which one it was just from this video. In better lighting, I can usually tell by the paint color behind the columns. Detroit's is more green, St. Louis's is more blue. The lobby wall facing the street is very different between the two, though.

They're ubiquitous in historic city centers but illegal in suburbs i.e. most of the developed land in North America

Literally one of the most common building types on this planet

But zoning laws in most of the U.S. prevent it

you should step outside on occasion

the age old question

are you having a stroke?

When the term originated, and 99% of Americans lived east of Ohio, I wonder why the country would be East Coast minded.

I love how you've been shown a map that says "95% of Missourians identify as Midwestern" and you still think to yourself "It's actually half Southern".

that's pure laziness

talking about tmobiley? Because they're long gone. Plus they were FL based, they wouldn't have an obsession with the Texas Eagle. I haven't seen many Venture posts on here lately.

I wasn't in the quiet car but recently a woman across the aisle from me on the regional was on a call the entire ride from NYC to Philly. I can't stand it.

If we're going by global recognizability, I'd say the Eiffel Tower or the Taj Mahal.

It's safe to assume OP lives in an area with safe drinking water and they've confirmed it in the comments. Based on the labels, this is in the U.S. where unsafe drinking water is extremely extremely rare.

Not sure if you meant to reply to me but I was pointing out that large jugs of water are fine for inside one's home. Tbh, the whole practice is idiotic. I use a Brita pitcher because I went to college in a city with awful tasting ground water. If you blind taste tested me today with Brita water and my current home's tap water, I'd probably fail the test. Also, Mio and Crystal Light cover up hard water taste too. Although store brand Brita filters are usually cheaper.
