We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Ladue is famous for being one of Missouri's wealthiest suburbs, a place where the schools are elite and the hedges are trimmed to the millimeter. When your claim to fame is being the state's go-to example of soul-crushing suburban normalcy, maybe it's time to add some actual personality to those manicured lawns.
With household incomes that make the rest of Missouri weep, Ladue residents love bragging about their 'old money' vibes while living in what's essentially a suburban theme park. Nothing says authentic wealth like a country club on every corner and calling your strip mall 'charming.'
In 1990, Old Warson Country Club was set to host the 1992 U.S. Senior Open until the controversy over its lack of Black members got the tournament pulled and moved elsewhere. The club lost a major event rather than simply open its doors, proving that exclusivity is still their brand and they'd pay real money to keep it.
In the 1980s, Ladue went to court over an unmarried couple living together, using a zoning ordinance that defined 'family' narrowly enough to shut them out. The couple won on appeal, because apparently even the courts thought the city's idea of family values made them the relationship police.
