St. Louis is coated in this symbol, the fleur de lis. It's been popular throughout our architectural history, and therefore, my own history as well. My grandparents' door knocker was a fleur de lis. The university I graduated from has a fleur de lis as its symbol. It is on our houses: this is across the street from me. It hides in my house, in every room with a wall air vent, the cover to the vent has one imprinted on it. It is literally everywhere. And it's so odd to visit other cities and it is completely absent--and yet here, it's just subtly present. Nothing overt.
