Hi Shauna – I’m actually a U of M alum. I fondly remember the underground tunnels on both the east and west banks. Very disorganized, but handy.

The Skyway is great, but nothing beats the Gopher Way. If you haven’t tried to navigate the system of underground tunnels and skyways on the U of M campus, then you don’t know what you’re missing. Some take you through labs and offices, some take you through garages.

Hi:

Almost 3,000,000 people live in the St. Louis metro area, so obviously SOME people want to live there. The loss of population might have to do with the increase in suburban living, don’t you think? And that has a lot to do with the fact that commuting/driving in St. Louis is easier than in most major cities.

James Norton:

It’s weird, but the “south” you talk about is more in pockets. Certainly not everything more than 45 minutes south of Chicago is culturally the south. Champaign/Urbana isn’t. Kankakee isn’t. Peoria isn’t. Bloomington/Normal isn’t. Hell, even Carbondale isn’t. Sure, the rural areas are different, but you can’t just draw a line and make those kinds of generalizations. I don’t know St. Louis all that well, but there are more progressive areas.

This looks delicious. I haven’t been to Cosmos in a couple of years. Perhaps it’s time for a revisit.

Hi folks,

We held the drawing. To make it as fair and random as possible, we cut out slips of equal sized paper, wrote your names on them, put them in a box, I held the box up high and, while blindfolded and standing on one foot, my girlfriend drew.

And the winner is Lauren! Thanks everyone for leaving comments!
