Really.

if you're solely talking about downtowns (as in central business districts) then yes, Nashville's is more vibrant these days. but overall i would say that St. Louis is still a tier above Nashville and the other cities you listed. St. Louis City is ~4 times denser than Nashville City with substantially more historic urban fabric, and St. Louis City + County has about twice the population of Nashville City (~1.3M versus ~700K) within the same land area as Nashville City (~500 sq. mi.).
