St. Louis, Missouri

When you think of St. Louis, the first thing that comes to mind is the famed Gateway Arch right? Of course, but beautiful St. Louis is much more. It's history, fun, beauty and convenience combined to make up one distinctive city.

The history of St. Louis is heavily influenced by the Westward Expansion and blues, both of which you can check out at the Museum of Westward Expansion and the city's nightclubs. For your kids, there's so much for them to do, you won't know where to begin. Start at the Forest Park, home to the World's Fair almost a century ago, then head for the Magic House. And from there, it's up to your own taste because St. Louis is a mix of everything -- all just waiting for you.

Median income -- $27,156
