If somebody has a poker night or something at their house in the county, I'll usually attend. Other than that, I don't see much of a reason to leave.
I can't even get them to do that. God forbid they have to drive for over 30 min to get somewhere.
Well don't get me wrong--I do complain about it.
That's what I don't get. I'm never like, damn I have to drive all the way to the city if I plan on going down to their place. Its just one of those things.
That's because driving to the city is fun, and you are used to it.

Driving to the county is not fun.
Yeah, that's the ticket! I just don't find much appealing about the city other than the activities (which I'm more than happy to go down there for occasionally), if I'm going to my buddies place its not some fancy hang out spot that's for sure!

To each their own. In my book, I'm fairly certain hell looks very similar to St. Charles County.

It is absolutely hell. At least it was 7-8 years ago.
At the end of highschool my commute went from 3 miles to 20 miles thanks to my parents moving us out to O'Fallon. The Chesterfield Valley will always be an 85 mph blur to me, where I entertained myself by throwing things out of my car over that low overpass late at night.
And I had a girlfriend in St. Albans, the house everyone partied at was in South City, and my school was in West County. Thankfully gas was still cheap.

I'd like to find some food for a nice tasty dinner, some cool shoes, a knife sharpener, some cool clothes and some home decor.
Why can't I get all of this stuff in one awesome location? I love the process of shopping and getting new things, but I hate malls and I hate driving to multiple stores. I'd like to get home before 8, but if I hit all these places, that's how long I'll be out.
This is a lame rant, but it'd be really cool if someone came out with a legit one-stop shopping department store with actually cool things in it. Something like an Urban Outfitters meets Trader Joe's meets REI or something.
All the kids at SLU kept telling him how great "the valley" is. I finally made a trip out there, and it's not a valley. And it's certainly not worth the drive.
Out of the things he listed you could only find a knife sharpener and maybe some cool home decor there. No way will you find some cool shoes, clothes, or decent food there.
I haven't really shopped for shoes there, but they have some decent clothes there. Certainly stuff that's up to par with Urban Outfitters.
They also have pretty good food in their grocery department.
Basically my point was, if you're looking for a "upper middle class, young, hip, on-the-go professional person's Wal-Mart", that's Target.
