I lived in Dogtown for several years, other Saint Louis neighborhoods for a few others, and spent 14 years in the metro area. I understand and it doesn't matter for my purposes. I'm trying to figure out how much I can use SLU as the proper abbreviation.
Just to be clear - it is Saint Louis University not St. Louis University.
I will have to go back and read your research regarding the first forward pass.

SLU = perfectly fine.
The name deviation is tricky for natives as well as alums.
Just be careful about the high schools or things could get ugly. 😜
