St. Charles must be the new ghetto.

Creve Coeur means "broken heart". I guess the French knew all along about the perils of that place.docellis wrote:planet pujolsian wrote:Doc, sorry to hear about your terrible luck. Seriously, that sucks.

What a lame story. Any city with a stupid legend like that must have built up centuries of bad karma.Creve Coeur was one of many unincorporated communities that grew along the road. Its name, which means broken heart in French, comes from nearby Creve Coeur Lake. Legend has it that an Indian princess fell in love with a French fur trapper, but the love was not returned. According to the story, she then leapt from a ledge overlooking Creve Coeur Lake; the lake then formed itself into a broken heart.

Re: Why me?
Why are there so many legends involving Indian princesses throwing themselves off of things? Methinks there must have been a massive wave of Fenimore Cooperesque sentimentality that sprang all these.

I'd heard that same story, except a Chili's sprouted up on the spot where she died.
