I'm glad you liked St. Louis. I have lived there since the 1980s. It is a largely "overlooked" city, possibly due to all the negative publicity it gets. The bad parts are confined to the section north of the central district. I live in a somewhat upscale suburb but even though I am a retired teacher, I can afford to live there. The whole place looks a lot nicer when trees are leafed-out.
Thank you for showing some of St. Louis , You drove past some great food places , I grew up Here , There's a special place in my Heart and it's St . Louis :) QC
Hipster own the U City, Soulard and Downtown Areas. Downtown/Lacledes Landing used to be fun, free and affordable, them fuckers came along and ruined the shit.
Grew up in STL south county....... It was a nice drive through some of the old neighborhoods of my grandparents, aunts and uncles! A lot of it still looks pretty much the same ........ thanks for the memories!😉😉
I went to my aunt and uncle's house In the summer and my uncle owned a Phillips 66 gas station there lots of great childhood memories with my cousins. ❤❤😊😊😊
Thank you for showing respect to Saint Louis - I was born and raised in STL -we’re not bad drivers -you’re a bad driver hahahahahahahahaha.. you didn’t stop at a sign..
I grew up on Blow Street. I live there, it's why I was 18 , I just watched you pass my street , I still call it my street cause I'm there all the time my mom still lives there my sisters ❤️
Yeah, they're pretty hypocritical. They were driving like snails down I-55 South in a previous video, so I had to increase the playback speed (I muted them)....lolz. Same old shit in the Baton Rouge, LA. video. I press the mute button when I watch their videos because of the insufferable babble.
Southern, I’m actually in Cape Girardeau, MO - south of STL. This town is beyond my expectations - seemingly peaceful and perhaps a hidden gem for people wanting a low cost, peaceful town with a mostly vacant free downtown. Cool bridge too.
Used to live in southeastern St. Louis county for my first three years of life. Quite possibly my favorite area I've ever lived in; very close to my relatives (however my dad's siblings and his crooked parents were the core cause of us leaving Missouri along with other factors. I still remember him coming home complaining about his siblings.)
Yes the car game comes out in the Summer. Spanish neighborhoods in Illinois near StL are Pontoon Beach and Washington Park near Cahokia Mounds. I’d recommend visiting in the am
I’m loving this you need to make some more video about other part of Missouri I like seeing the different stores and restaurants ,the neighborhood house’s 😄🥰🥰🤩🤩
I moved down to St Lou about 3 years ago from Iowa and I absolutely adore the city! I live in Dutchtown and you actually came within about 4 blocks of my house! I live just off Grand Ave Grand Ave is super cool by the way Sone really great restaurants and small shops if it was warmer You’d see the so called “hipsters” LoL! You turned too soon you should’ve kept going down Grand It would take you to Tower Grove! And you are spot on about the drivers in the Lou! They suck! In fact I’ve come to believe that the bungie cord is a standard repair item for all the damaged cars driving through the city! If you’re into Mexican restaurants you should see them on your drive down Cherokee! ✌️👽
It is one of the most beautiful call and the city and state to work on the crime there,I love St.Louis ,it’s one of the only places I know that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy your family and go for entertainment .if they can work on the stray dogs running around and the crime.this will out do Atlanta anytime.👮🏽♂️🦮
Going from STL to Orlando, I disagree with the bad drivers comment. I was shocked by the drivers in Florida. There are some bad drivers in the STL, but they are the rule in the entire state of Florida. I'd be doing 85 and people are still on my ass, no blinkers (I see you Southern), terrible!
Yes, I like, love dt. Louis,! These drives etc. Show the real st. Louis, etc. Not the gloosy in a visitor guide, though they they come in handy. Keep care.
I live less tgab 70 miles south of St. Louis, Mo. Been here all my life. Visiting is one thing. I WOULD NOT LIVE IN ST. LOUIS FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!! IT'S NO BETTER THAN NEW YORK CITY TYESE DAYS!!!!!
So there was little of that drive that made me want to go there. The occassional interesting building but mostly ugly brown brick square buildings. Did St Louis only have one building material, brown brick??
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS He got to be joking. You definitely don't want to go to North St. Louis. Its pretty bad. There are a lot of nice good parts of St. Louis though.
@@Shaolinmonk781 Ive gone out of my way to get lost in all parts of st louis, even the ones you warn folks of. havent regretted that or been shot once! Bad advice.
Bud! You talked about the beautiful architecture but you didn't drive by any if it! Drive down market street or Lindell avenue and downtown streets and see many historical gems. Come back again man.
First off you can’t drive 😭🤣 but your nowhere close to the “hood” everytime i hear your say it i crack up cuz i be like that neighborhood is nice 😭 but i do agree the St Louis style homes are incredible especially in the different neighborhoods. But you did go pass the Peabody projects lol not as bad now . Lol but nice drive
Hi! If you don’t mind me asking you but which particular areas would you recommend moving to in the STL? Im a single, relatively young woman.. I would prefer like up and coming, artsy, relatively safe but all recommendations are very welcome.
@@me.2172 I would definitely recommend you moving to Delmar Loop area Ucity but stay closer North of the Loop or surrounding it. Also Tower Grove west area is relatively a nice area the area closer to CWE (Central West End) which is also a GREAT area to move . You also have Lafayette Square in south city and also Soulard . Those are particular areas in Stl City, St Louis County I’m recommend Clayton , Brentwood, Chesterfield area . North County isn’t the ideal place to move but it is some nice areas you’ll just have to search . Also Old North Is our Art District those couple blocks are nice but surrounding areas aren’t the greatest. Just please take your time .
Drive through the North side of St.Louis and tell us about the "wonderful architecture:". it looks like Hiroshima on a bad day. If you are going to show a city, don't cherry pick only its better parts because that is misleading, especially in regard to St. Louis. St. Louis is basically a Southern city (i.e segregated) until the 60's. When the interstate highway systenmd came in, Hwy 40 cut right through the center of the city destroying neighborhoods that were black, isolating neighborhoods like "The Hill" and sending black families into slum like projects like Pruitt-igoe that failed. Whites left St. Louis for the county, leaving the brownstone neighborhoods for houses and yards, The brownstone became rentals owned by absetee landlords and the North side of St. Louis deteriorated to one big slum. That was in the 60's when St. Louis had 900,000 people living there and was the 10th largest city in the US population wise. Now it is just over 300,000 and is the murder capital of the US. If you think I am biaed, you are right, I spent most of my life living an hour away from St. Louis in the 50's when going to St. Louis was a treat. We usually went four times a year. Before Easter for new clothes for church, in the summer for a day at the Zoo and a ball game. in the fall for a football game when the Cardinals were here, and before Christmas to shop at Stix and Famous Barr. I spent 8 years in college and law school there and I was married in the Old Catherdral, But now I only go to St. Louis to see my doctors at Barnes. That's it. St. Louis is there only in the memories of what it could have been if the whites had not given up on it and the pariahs came in to rent out real estate to poor blacks and letting it go to Hell in a handbasket. Drugs entered in the 60's and 70's destroying a lot of the progress St. Louis had made and the city has been sinking ever since.
Northside has a lot of great architecture. It still looks amazing, and it's falling in on itself. There is still potential here. Best architecture is around downtown Soulard, Benton Park, Lafayette Square, Dutchtown, parts of Carondelet. Also the areas around the CWE and The Grove.
Every time I move away from St Louis I don't experience racial hate , but I am back home here in St Louis / Creve Coeur MO it's extremely racist . I am only here to extract my adult kids out of here . Dexter Lombardo out 🤠
Driving the speed limit 😳😳😳😳😳😳 shocked these people drive like crazy here. You on the state streets look at god, 😂 I lived over there some got killed at that gas station not to long ago on S Grand
Yu not in the hood in this vid dude. yu gotta go up into college hill or up in jennings, baden, the ville, castlepoint, and jeff vander lou. hoods not fr on the south side make another vid but yu gotta go into the northside thats the murder cap of this city

St. Louis is an under the radar city. If the hipsters find out about it, most of the locals would not be able to afford it at all.
travel a little first, so your view points are not narrow and you make a fool of yourself. making reply videos (respectfully) is a good start
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I'm very well traveled. I'm originally from St. Louis and live in Tampa currently.
Hipster own the U City, Soulard and Downtown Areas. Downtown/Lacledes Landing used to be fun, free and affordable, them fuckers came along and ruined the shit.

Some of the gentrified areas are around Tower Grove Park & Lafayette square. The zoo is free btw

I lived in Cape Girardeau back in 1999 till the end of January 2000. I remember liking the park of the Trail of Tears not that far from Cape.
its not bad
I love South St Louis my family lived there.
ST.LOUIS MO. Cheap living, but comes with a price.😮
Ducht town, Dog town, The Hill , Soulard , Tower Grove , South St Louis and Central West End.

Not missing much it is the hood
And Faremont
For such a windy day, the trees sure do seem to be at a stand-still.
You guys have to go over the James eads bridge over the Mississippi River.Pretty much the oldest span bridge in America .Its near the arch
Love taking the metro buses & trains around the city
Get your kicks on Route 66.
I’m loving this you need to make some more video about other part of Missouri I like seeing the different stores and restaurants ,the neighborhood house’s 😄🥰🥰🤩🤩

LMAO i aint did that ever but you cracked me
I’ve lived here all my life and I’m 64 right now. Yes St. Louis have some of the worst drivers in the world! 😄
They look more like Northern France like nord pas de calais Or belguim

New York is an extremely safe city.
I wanted to go to St Louis MO
Glad i left in 98 and moved to phx az
na, na, na... na, na, na... hey hey hey... goodbye!
I left in 98 as well. First went to Joplin then Chicago then Charlotte then Portland now Seattle
the hippies and zoomers are in the delmar loop and the grove. Those places are way north of the windmill and the early parts of the vid.
I smoked weed with a dude in St Louis, I mean I guess its better than Kansas.
Very insightful 🤔
in st louis we drive defensively aggressive
So there was little of that drive that made me want to go there. The occassional interesting building but mostly ugly brown brick square buildings. Did St Louis only have one building material, brown brick??
If you want to see some hipsters you gotta go to specific places.
The south side is very safe. Majority of crime happens North of Delmar.
Not any more....
WOOOOW....SOUTH SIDE OF ST.LOUIS.......U WANNA C THE REAL ST.LOUIS......GO 2 NORTH ST.LOUIS.......🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟
