To-do list for St. Louis:

I think that the picture of 1 Metropolitan Square (bottom right) in the intro card should be changed to something else. The picture is blurry and at an awkward angle. I think either the picture should be replaced by a better version or changed altogether to a landmark more representative or well known. Thoughts? Stl archivist314 (talk) 04:18, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Chouteau claimed that St. Louis was named for Louis XV, the reigning French monarch at the time of founding, though there is a hypothesis that Louis Saint-Ange de Bellerive, commander of Upper Louisiana, might have named it after his patron saint, Louis IX.
