uninformed & ignorant about St. Louis's mega rise in the Tech industry, but no need to try & be so disingenuous about it, smh.
Give a f'n break!
Here learn - The impetus for Cortex in STL is Kendall Square around MIT in Boston. In fact, it's President & current leader came to STL from there!
"The world has taken note. Popular Mechanics in January 2015 named St. Louis the No. 1 startup city in America. And The New York Times in fall 2014, in “Where Young College Graduates Are Choosing to Live,” found that since 2000 St. Louis enjoyed a 26 percent spike among graduates 25 to 34. Not all of those young people and startups are located in the district, but Cortex has created a dynamic culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, says Thomas F. George, UMSL chancellor."
****NOTICE the "Where Young College Graduates Are Choosing To Live" from the New York Time kind of big thingy??
