So, I'm originally from St. Louis and It's a a small town city with about 10,408 people. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Has anyone dealt with this? The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Used to live on the Downtown side, now on the Greenfield side. Completely different vibe. I love the pace of life here.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely underrated and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. My neighborhood (Midtown) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Baltimore, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

My experience has been mostly positive. it's not perfect but it works for me. The only thing I'd watch out for is cultural scene. Other than that, Hope this helps!.
