The best time to see the city is during Christmas. Main street is decorated and has activities.
I was wondering if you'd ever make a video of my hometown! Thank you!!! Grew up in St. Charles and loved it! Graduated from St. Charles High (GO PIRATES!!!). Haven't been back there in a couple of years but glad to see so many things I recognize! Great job, Chris!!
Well researched I moved to St Charles in the 80s they rejected Metro Link which was a smart move
Chris thanks for the videos I know u do alot of small towns back in the 90s I worked 10 plus years for Edward Jones when they were not well known opening 2 offices if u see one in a small town money is close by/ b-4 then I was involved with Casey General Stores and Dairy Queens all thru the midwest approx 1300 stores your channel brings back alot of memories of being on the road and working endless hours Thanks
Lol no rejecting metrolink is among the many poor decisions this city has made because they’re afraid of black people
@@tharwab I disagree. Having MetroLink would be a direct link to the criminals from North County coming into Saint Charles.
@@Chrisfeb68 Cry about it lmfao
It's very Nice to see This Town Keeping Thier Historic Structures, it is too bad That Other Towns are Not doing The Same & goes for both US & Canada because I know a Lot of The Historic Buildings could have been Still around if They could have been Maintained Properly & This also Includes Your & Ower Covered Bridges as well.
in New Brunswick alone we had 400 Covered Bridges, Today we Only have 58 & of Them being The Longest Covered Bridge in The World at a Length of 1282 ft
fr. Canada 🇨🇦✌ 🇨🇦.
I guess I need to get out and accomplish more so I can be added to the list of notable Lindenwood Alumni. Graduated from there in 2005. I can't believe how much it has expanded since.
Nice! Seems like it's a great school
Thanks. Main Street is a unique historic place.
Chris, New Town does look like a nice area, but the yards are a bit small St. Charles Historic District looks like the city did a good job at keeping the feel of what it looked like without having EVERY fast-food joint along main street. So many great looking homes and other buildings, now just rid of the Walmart super center "UGH." The music was perfect for the vid, good job. Thanks again for your time and work....
what a beautiful area with the waters and bridges, the homes look really nice!
Great! St Charles old town is definitely a place where one could and should shop till you drop, very nice place to spend a day.
St.charles born and raised!!
Finally! Been waiting for this one. Used to live here. Miss it.
Very interesting newly built architecture on the homes in New Town. It's quite different from the many suburban cookie cutter areas we usually see. The surrounding landscaping really works as well. The downtown tourism looked busy. Thanks for the tour Chris.
It’s also entirely full of swingers
And it’s build in a huge flood plain.
@@criticaloptimist I didn’t know about that but my dad said it flooded all the time before they built it.
Houses are only a couple feet apart, is a firestorm waiting to happen. And the houses have open crawl spaces so fire can breath. And it looks like a fake movie set.
I’m 55 years old and have lived in St. Charles my entire life. You represented our fine city perfectly! Would love for you to come back for The Festival of the Little Hills or even Halloween. Main Street is bustling with activity at those times! Great job on this video!
I had an apartment above a business on Main Street. Quite a few bars on Main Street it was fun to sit out and watch the drunk people on the weekend.
🤣
Great video amazing work by you wonderful towns and cities 👍👍👌👌
I grew up in this town ( '65-'92 ) . There's absolutely nothing NOT to like about this town. Lot's of parks, a great hospital, great places to eat, friendly people, very safe town day or night, a great nightlife, awesome shops especially on Main St., Great architecture, schools really are fantastic with a very good sports program, excellent hunting nearby.
It has always broken my heart to be lumped in with St. Louis. We locals have always considered the Missouri River the dividing line between St. Louis county and St. Charles county. Unfortunately you missed the old Van Dyke brewery off of Booneslick Rd. but EXCELLENT JOB covering the old town area.
Unfortunately, as of 8/27/23, St. Charles is really struggling with water contamination issues with their wells.
I grew up in St. Charles and went to St. Charles West High School. It’s great to see you making a great video of St. Charles. Thanks!
I've lived near St. Charles my entire life and Main Street is a must visit during the weekends during the Christmas Season. They have people in costume out and about spreading Christmas cheer to all who visit. There are a lot of unique shops and a number of very good places to eat.
My town. Thanks for sharing it
Thanks for sharing. 19:42 I'm glad that car turned off, I was about to start screaming they were driving so slow.😂
I love this video! St Charles looks lovely.
Love your description of HOAs as “a bunch of Karens.” Out here in AZ, it’s really on the mark.
Here, it's really up to chance...some are reasonable and some are definitely Karen's!!!
My dad was BORN AND RAISED IN ST. CHARLES, MO across from river on a hill.
I did enjoyed this video of St Charles, Missouri.
I live in Chester county Pennsylvania it’s a beautiful place with farm lands but it lacks side walks and bike lanes to enjoy the landscapes and it’s one of the richest county and don’t have proper suburban town planning. It’s a good video..
drive around in a car, its more comfortable, also chester country is very historical and adding bike lanes will come at a cost of stopping car traffic which is not ideal, you can definitely walk but I would prefer a car for comfort and not want the county to ban cars just for tourism sake, it also a big residential county
Thanks for the spotlight. Love living here
I live here and all of the shops down on main street are so nice
What a pretty city!
Great vid as usual!
Shout out to Sue Moore @ St. Charles Shave! Thanks for the great product and service over the years
Wonderfully done video. Beautiful place😊❤.
I grew up there at one time I used to live right off of North main Street
I live in Saint Charles. I've walked many of the streets that you drove down many times so it was really neat to see them from another person's point of view. You did a nice job. Thank you.
Great Video and informative.
Oh hey, I live a few minutes from there. I think I actually ran a DoorDash order out to New Town once haha. Great work here, awesome seeing such a well researched video on a town that's been such a big part of my life.
I've lived in Saint Charles most of my life and have always considered it a suburb of Saint Louis, so I agree. People getting angry over you calling it a suburb are delusional
Forgot to say: Check out 19:17 to 19:22 somebody picked up some trash on the sidewalk and put it in a trash can..... Very rare now days, shows that people really respect their city, that and the lack of graffiti.
Very cool video. Interesting
📻🙂
At 5:51 the cafe to the left is so so good , I've lived on main street for quite a while, but just letting you know north of main street is named French town not main street, main street is south of French town
Great video! It'd be awesome to see you explore the Columbia/Jefferson City/Lake of the Ozarks area of MO just an hour and change west of St. Charles! Lots of interesting history and little towns
One day!
The canals and lakes are for water retention due to it being a floodplain
My hometown.
Reminds me of New England.
HOA’s are only useful if the neighborhood has a community pool or something
Or maybe if it’s a condo complex of some sort
No way, much better ways to do that
I just bought a condo. Without the HOA, you would have people leaving crsp outside and parking junk cars. I pay my fee, live like a considerate person, and on one bothers me. People who bitch about HOAs are the ones dead set on breaking the rules. It's really a meta Karen situation.
@@Tenebarum wrong
@@Tenebarum "no one bothers me" get sick and let your grass grow a few inches, use the wrong color mulch or get behind on your dues and you'll have a heap of issues m8
I like the waterways.
New Town was built in a historic flood plain. The 'canals' are a necessity, and hopefully they work
Hey Chris how are you these days its been a while since i commend on your page ... I thought you and others would like to know Stevie Nicks used to perform at Red Rocks solo without Fleetwood mac back in the 1980s thx man keep up the good work on making vids xd
It only gets better here around Halloween thru Xmas
We were looking at new homes in 1995 in Weldon Springs right off of 94 . We didn't get the house and I eventually got free from her. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Dexter Lombardo out 🤠. St Charles CO is up there
Don’t you wish we had a cool historic downtown like this in Metro Detroit?! The closest we have to that is greenfield village which is not really an actual historic place.
23:15 may i have the name of the song please.
Never forget that blonde girl working in that small dinner in 2003
Waooooo
Hi i was looking for paxton il but you dont have it the were i Grow up
Does anybody know is Goodfellas still open in St Charles Missouri the old one was the right next door to Wendy's they took it down and made a highway out of it
25:48 a Chad Student came with a Porsche Panamera Turbo to college
WATERLOO IL
Just one correction- Lewis and Clark began their expedition of the Missouri from the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers from Camp DuBois (Wood) which is near Wood River, IL, I where they camped for the winter before beginning the expedition on May 14, 1804. This is about 20-30 miles east of St. Charles.
Go ask Louisville, Kentucky, Jeffersonville, Clarksville or New Albany, Indiana where they think the Lewis and Clark expedition started. Everyone wants to claim it. It’s hilarious. I wasn’t alive back then so I won’t debate it.
lots of cars in st. charles
Yes I noticed that
St.Louis is a commuter town.
Saint Charles may certainly have its own identity and culture but yes, it is certainly a suburb of Saint Louis. I do not see why folks might get offended for calling it a suburb of a larger city. There's no shame in being a suburb. It's simply a geographic term.
Me either. People are strange.
@@ChrisHarden Yes, indeed. Humans are a strange creature.
At 1:36 who's Karen??? Is she the Mother Superior at the local church ???
New Town appears to be in development to be a 15 minute city. That would not be a good thing.
Why
@@BigThangs you need to research that on your own.
@@barbarabee3834 no I want you explain your conspiracy theory in your own words
Do they have a gun range nearby?
Lots
New town was built in a flood plain. That's why it was farmland. I was born and raised here. St Charles is a backwater town with a corrupt government and police department. Years ago it was a great town but things changed with time. If I could get out of here I would. It feels more like a prison than a place to call home.
Wasn't some guy with known Mob connections running for a seat in the city government last year or so too? Can't agree more though, the place is perfect if you fit in with "their" type of people, and an absolute hellhole if you don't.
I could see that. Looks lovely but stuck in it day to day…
As someone who grew up in St. Charles & went to OF, New Town & Lindenwood University expansion RUINED the town
lol they’re part of the only revitalization going on in the town
I have deep roots in St. Charles. I don't think New Town is really part of old Saint Charles, on top of that houses in old Saint Charles are snatched up as quick as they get put on the market for the most part. I disagree about Lindenwood I think it's good for Saint Charles. Having a successful college in a city is always a plus. If something ever happened to Lindenwood it would be bad news for Saint Charles.
If New Town is so walkable, where are all the people walking? Looks utterly deserted.
Good point
Yeah a lot of call New Town a cult area😂
It is! 😂
Most towns are historic… ? They all have a history
It’s a matter of whether they preserve that history or bulldoze over it or let it decay. This town seems to have done a great job of preserving that history.
Not in st louis
newtown is cookie cutter
You can also find a lot of racist in St. Charles
St. Charles is an extremely closed minded community. I avoid it as much as possible.
Thank you. 😊
Sweet 🤘
I could see that too
This so sad that the government only think about taking care of the St. Charles . What about inner city.😮😱😱😱😱😰😰🥵🥵🤪😜😝😛🫠😌🤔🧐
