People considered moving the capital to St. Louis after the civil war.

Quite a few decades ago during Cold-War nuclear terror, there was a discussion of moving a lot of federal functions to a more central location (geographically now Kansas) and away from lurking Soviet guided-missile subs. Some people argued for the population center (now Missouri).

St Louis was a name that came up often. Denver also came up in conversations. Telecoms are so advanced now that there is little reason to have a central location of government.

It's noteworthy that Brazil built capitol Brasilia from scratch in the middle of nowhere.

From another post, “Asian Indians”:

BREAKING: An Air India flight was forced to return on a 10 hour trip to Chicago Illinois because their toilets were clogged with poop leaving hundreds Indians trapped on a plane with no restroom.

It's not even in the top 100 in the nation for highest income zip codes. Arlington County in VA is #3 as a county.
