Lindbergh was not from St. Louis
Lazy writing with Baker saying Lindy was from St. Louis. His plane was called the Spirit of St. Louis because his investors were from St. Louis.
This is a poorly written show on every level.
He was originally from Minnesota and his dad's congressional seat was from Minnesota. He was, however, a member of the Missouri Air National Guard when he made his transatlantic flight.
share...named the "Spirit of St. Louis" in honor of Lindbergh's supporters from the St. Louis Raquette Club in his then hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.

I don't watch this show but I know of many of it's poor qualities because my wife watches it and asks me questions. You probably didn't consider options.

A_Real_Hip_Dude, my post was in response to MadTom's - not to the OP's.
There was nothing 'hateful' about it.
Just facts.
And apparently your wife has better taste in tv shows than she does in men.

I know who you were responding to, I never said the original poster. But you were being an antagonstic smart ass, all the same.
And I think it's aafe to say thia was a hate-post from you, so it all came around anyway.

Dude, I don't care.
These boards are closing in ten days because of goofs like you.
Buzz off - go bug your wife.
She has to put with your sh!t - I don't.

You don't list the source of your quote, but whatever the source is, it is incorrect. Lindbergh was not from St. Louis. Lindbergh was from Little Falls, Minnesota. As an adult, he bounced around the mid-west working as a pilot in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois, and Missouri. He lived in St. Louis for less than two years in the mid-1920s. That hardly qualifies as a hometown by any definition.
shareLindbergh was from Little Falls, Minnesota.
WRONG
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was born on Feb. 4, 1902, in Detroit.
Here's your source - you can stick where the sun don't shine.

Ha! So both you and the show are WRONG.
I love it.

Born in, not from. You're from where you grew up, not where you popped out.
And hey, if you weren't cherry picking like a fake news source, you wouldn't have left off the next line...
Charles Augustus Lindbergh was born on Feb. 4, 1902, in Detroit. He grew up on a farm near Little Falls, Minn.
He was from Minnesota, even if he was born in Detroit.

No such thing as "his then hometown." (sic)
One's hometown is where one was born. So unless this show alters the timeline to have him born somewhere else, his "hometown" will always be Detroit, MI.
