I could trot out that old joke about how transferring the southernmost tier of Iowa counties to Missouri would raise both states' median IQ, but I won't.
I'm too much of a Cardinals fan to do that. If I was forced to move away from Money magazine's "#1 place to raise a family" (Cedar Rapids, 1998), I'd consider moving to suburban St. Louis. Meanwhile, I'm happier making the trip down the Avenue Of The Saints a few times each year. :-)
