I'm also big on Kansas City as an option.

Between St. Louis and Kansas City, . . . I'd choose Dallas.
(All three are places where my DH has family/grew up so they're all linked in my wee brain.)
It would be interesting to see proposals from St. Louis and KC, to see what folks who aren't in-laws do for fun.

Nashville's come up in the past - is that central? Milwaukee's also an option, as is a return to Chicago.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I've got a brother in Memphis, so I'd have additional incentive if someone were to pimp that, but I've heard that's not a particularly good walking city. Granted, I heard that about Atlanta too, and where we were for the F2F worked out just fine.
I could look into some possibilities. Some new downtown hotels have opened up since 2005. If we kept everything central to downtown, it'd just be two cab- or rental car-rides for each person flying in.

Ann, that's a ferret.
brenda, Nashville was nominated last time the central's turn came around. As was Toronto.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Nashville, Toronto, and Minneapolis were all nominated last time. I am pro all of those cities. I am also pro-Madison.

I am Hell No on the Dells. Sorry. All of the downsides of overbuilt, overhyped family tourist traps, with none of that pesky convenience to anywhere you might actually be coming from.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But... but... but... they have a UFO museum.
But actually, not a good idea for the reasons brenda said.
Madison would be awesome. It's a beautiful city.
