Not even close. Very midwest, but not Chicago.

Not the same to me. Chicago is Illinois by and large. The Chicagoland metro is nearly 80% of the sate population.
Sure downstate farmer communities are bright red and never have to venture to the big ugly city but there just aren't many of them.
St. Louis is a smaller part of the state of Missouri and a big chunk of it sits on the Illinois side.

Yeah, St. Louis accents are more neutral with the occasional Scandinavian sounding role.
A true Chicago accent is nearly whiny with a thudding cadence and the abuse of vowels.
a= ee-ah,
man= mee-ahn
can = cee-ahn
I - Uhhh or Eeee
I'm tired - Uhm Tuhred
Is -- Eeees
Short vowels are twisted. Stop - Stap
Basically this guy

I met some at a work conference and it was closer to my cousins in Deerfield, Illinois than a heavy Wisconsin or Minnesota so just assumed Chicago.
Rest of Missouri is like east oklahoma or NWA.

and to be honest, the feeling is mutual. Only thing STL and CHI don't like about each other are their baseball and hockey teams.

Florida hasn't been able to compete for one since GWB's 2nd term.....and MU owns your reptilian asses.

The morons are the reasons MO hasn't completely turned into Mississippi North.

St. Louis is a northern city. The accents, architecture, overall feel, food.

Same for Boston and NY.
.
STL and Chicago are two of the oldest cities in the Midwest with the former being the older of the two. They were in competition for who would be the dominate city going forward in the 19th century until the railroads permanently crushed the steamboat industry.

When I’m in Atlanta, it feels like the south.
St. Louis feels like I’m on the east coast or in Chicago/Detroit.

Tell me this courthouse doesn't look like something out of the deep south

Missouri is a very conservative state.
More so than Georgia.

They are here so it doesn't matter what others think. It matters what those in charge think. Those in charge extended an invitation and Missouri accepted. That should be the end of the story.

That wounded lion is beautiful. Atlanta had one very similar. I guess I’ll have to quit calling Missouri Yankees

Wyoming is the most Republican state in the US, and people there love to hunt...by your rationale, I guess they are SEC material as well.
