having lived in both, kansas city and st. louis share a certain era of urban development, sort of at the fringe of st louis city and more in the inner pre-war suburbs...tile roofing, spanish revival influence (a house from my st louis suburb is a top search result) in even commercial architecture (theres bits and pieces of plaza-like architecture scattered around)...i don’t see as much of that east of st. louis.
older core areas of st louis are much less like kansas city/dallas/okc and the newer suburbs are different...kc really has the suburban square mile grid thing down on the kansas side combined with other subtle metroplex features. way more good mexican food, even tex-mex thats almost like the kc varient of tex-mex.
