> Glendale, Mo., which is hobbled by the loss of such St. Louis corporate anchors as Anheuser-Busch."
Glendale is a very tiny municipality (1 of 88) in St. Louis county with a population of 5,924 in 2010 and 5,886 in 2017. Over the same time period, median home prices are up from about $340k to $390k. Hardly what I'd call "hobbled."
In fact, St. Louis County as a whole (which doesn't include the city but does include some rather dense urban "suburbs") has remained relatively flat and St. Charles County, the next ring out, has seen steady growth.[0]

- sureaboutthis 7y agoPeople who don't live in the area are thoroughly clueless as to the geo-political makeup of what we citizens here call St. Louis. Proof of that are the countless articles pointing to the population of the city being less than 300K while completely ignoring the nearly 3 million of us who live in the area outside the 66 sq miles of the city. And I haven't a clue how they make a connection between Anheuser-Busch--which is just as active in the city of St. Louis--and Glendale down the street from me.
