St. Louis Dominant with Speed and Athletes? Umm, no.

So does everyone else.

"Once a thriving metropolis on the banks of the Mississippi, St. Louis, Missouri, is now a ghostly landscape of vacant houses, boarded-up storefronts, and abandoned factories. The Gateway City is, by any measure, one of the most depopulated, deindustrialized, and deeply segregated examples of American urban decay."

Lot of reasons for that. I blame city leaders who didnt have the foresight to realize railroads were the future and staked the city's economic future on river travel...

You obviously dont get the point of a message board. It's not about "feeling better about ourselves" it's just talking. Arguement for arguments sake.

I have no clue were you live. But man if its anywhere outside of the St Louis Metro Area I will pray for you. Literal depression comes over me when I drive through any part of this dump state. A law needs to be passed for us to become an independent City on the MO/IL border like Washington DC.......St. Louis, USA.

Yeah, lovely place, St. Louis.

Play the song from that video around your sons and daughters ... then watch them dance and sing every word of it. It’s still in heavy rotation at every honkeytonk from Hermann to Branson.

I wonder if STL is still one of the highest murder capitals of the country. Sounds like a lovely place to live.

It is. But, if you take a closer look at the reasons why the math works out that way in those studies, you’ll likely discover StL probably wouldn’t even statistically be in the top 10.
