This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I will absolutely corroborate the St. Louis Botanical Gardens. Lovely place, especially in Autumn.
And I'll also corroborate that transit is seen as something that only "poor people" use, as well as the fact that people of color are almost always seen as "poor" regardless of how wealthy they actually are.
