St. Louis' new slogan

St. Louis tourism officials have “purchased” a new slogan for the city of St. Louis to promote tourism.     Many people here (my home town) are upset with the new logo and slogan.   No one locally calls our city  St. Lou.  It’s St. Louis!

To ad insult to injury we found out the All Within Reach part of the slogan is already the slogan for two other cities.  This only cost our city $47,000 in consultant fees.

In an effort to help the city come up with a new slogan, Fark.com asked its readers to submit their ideas.  Here are just some of them:
