Readers: Either February 14th or 15th is OK For St. Louis’ Birthday
The poll last week on St. Louis’ birthday was a dud, not getting many responses:
- Q: Do you think St. Louis was founded on February 14th or 15th on 1764?
- Either is OK 30 [45.45%]
- 15th 15 [22.73%]
- 14th 10 [15.15%]
- Unsure/no opinion 7 [10.61%]
- Other: 4 [6.06%]
Here are the “other” responses submitted:
- Don’t care
- founded in 1904 and downhill ever since
- who cares
- Show us a copy of the manuscript so that we can make an intelligent guess!
I’ll try to get a copy of the original document so we can see if we think the date was the 14th or 15th.

“founded in 1904 and downhill ever since” – can’t tell if joking
