I was born and raised there in stl (314) and it's not as bad as ppl make it it has it's bad sides and good i mean there are some really bad sides but if you know the area you know not to go there
I used to live in St.Louis. The people there are very selfish. My family is very selfish as well. Because of this mentality, people have less regard for each other. The circumstance might be due to the lack of resources. Also, some people in St Louis have a tendency to develop an envious attitude toward each other because one is doing more successful than the other. Consequently, one might resort to violence. If you want to succeed in the city, start your own business and then relocate to another place. That is what I have done a long time ago. Sometimes you just have to move on.

I'm an old white woman..born in another state..came to STL as a teen when my dad found a job here. I've seen a lot of changes since 1971.. I watched Kinloch go through it's problems.. There was a lot of stealing city funds from those who ran the city... it's a shame. I've lived other places and countries..and some have some nasty issues(like when I lived in the Middle East)..but of the US..St Louis has a lot of stubbornness, narrow-mindedness, and prejudice{on both sides}. It is something that visitors notice right away. My daughter-in-law is black and she refuses to return to STL..as attitudes are crappy. I live in NOCO. The mayors and officials wonder what they can do to make this a good place for tourists.. ha. It is the attitudes of people that must change. It is a shame for a few bad behaving people to eff it up for everyone else.
I completely agree! Narrow-mindedness is at the heart of the dysfunctional attitude of St. Louis. There’s a conservative mindset of the poor as well as the rich. Everyone wants to embrace their little piece of town and complain about those “other” people. Most St. Louisians don’t travel more than 20 miles away from home, unless, they’re on vacation. That’s only if they live in the county. If they live in the city, it’s closer to 10 miles. If the men would pull their pants up, stop impregnating stupid women, and focus on educating their children, the city would take off like a rocket. St. Louis is a perfect example of “victim-mentality” run amok.
You got it spot on. I remember visiting Miami and coming back to stl and getting this narrow-minded conservative vibe and I had never noticed it until I left stl and came back
Joseph Higgs St. Louis county is different than st Charles county bro. It’s a white suburban area with some of the safest crime rates and a great schooling system. Most black people who come here are fleeing the negative influences of the city.
I lived in STL for 16 years and I can say that it is one of the great city, lot of beautiful century old buildings , just don’t go the the ghetto parts of town and every things will be good.
We St. Louis, we are very underground. Underground with our violence, music scene, you name it. People so use to hearing about Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and other cities that do get down. But St. Louis, it's literally just another world. We so violent it's to the point where we do embrace it cause it's just who we is. People be shocked when they learn about the city and how crazy it get. We got one of the damn most dangerous streets in the country, Natural Bridge Road. 13th most dangerous worldwide. But all sides different. East side hoods we put with the city too.
I've lived in the West 1300 Union (mid 2000s from 02-04) and North County (Chambers and Shepley 04-05 then Shepley and Spring Gardens 05-06) The West stayed the same until recently when they started trying to make STL better (gentrification) but it's still the West. However in NoCo my time there as a kid things changed drastically. Me being in NoCo 04-06 it was in the middle where Black People were just moving there so it wasn't all that bad. We used to ride our bikes all over and by Riverview highschool Shepley and Toelle we used to be careful and not be too loud because it was white people all over. Fast forward to 2013 I moved into one of the apartments that I used to ride by as a kid from. In those 7 years it's a completely different area. North County is becoming the city.
From Florissant used to be nice and if you were a minority you knew not to do anything in the county now since 05 north county is becoming the city sad to see.
The issue that has crippled St. Louis the most is crooked, greedy politicians, racism and social engineering. St. Louis has too many small counties and municipalities that have a TERRIBLE RECORD OF BRUTALITY AND RACISM TOWARDS BLACKS... as well as a long list of criminal politicians that are nothing but political gangsters. After getting a belly full of having friends and relatives murdered, and watching neighborhoods go down while crime soared up, I chose to find a place far away from The Lou. St. Louis - just like any other place - can be dangerous if you get caught-up outside your own lane, and the per capita murder rate speaks for itself. But, as tough as the streets of St. Louis are, I will ALWAYS love St. Louis, and there's really no place I would rather have grown up... because if you can make it living in The Lou, you can make it anywhere on the planet! REAL TALK!
Agree Truth STL has too many Municipalities. That would not have happened if there was no segregation. However, STL is not in the minority on segregation as I live in KC and it is WORSE, if you can believe it than the LOU. KC has the DMZ called Troost Ave and it is clear- whitey on the westside and the blacks on the eastside. Sadly, that will never change. What should happen is that STL county PD should take over all of the smaller municipal police departments as consolidating resources and a unified chain of command would provide better service to the residents. West county, U City can maintain their own departments. Having 70 or so PDs in the county is absurd!!!
St.louis isn't as it seems it's actually a great place but it has it's bad times also...but to get by in st.louis all you have to do is mind your business and watch your back.
Me to I had to move to Florida to get clean and sober. 289 days clean off that fent today. Hope your clean and sober also or made it out. It was the only way to sober up and get my life together.
The guy in the black shades was in college with me for a time. I don't know if he graduated, but I remember him as a cool ass dude. Yeah, he may be into some gangster stuff, but deep down, he is a super down to earth guy.
I'm from St. Louis. I love this city and I now live in Chicago and it's all same. If we just come together and help each other out. Let's get this black and white out of our heads. As a white guy I get along with black people so much better. I love everything about them. Please let's get together and save our city together
Kayla Storey. You were bless. They must know your family. I remember when you walk in a neighborhood that you did not live. Someone in that neighborhood would ask who are you visiting. They request the family name (like it was their business) however, You provide that info, and would get escorted to their door. It did serve as security and they knew all these neighbors in the area.
I'm remembered the 90s where they made us take off anything red. I'm blessed to make it 30 years before leaving to Houston. I miss the low cost of living up there. It's expense & to spread out down here
I moved to the Lou in 1988 from New Orleans. I'm a retired veteran now, but the STL is home for me even though I don't live there anymore I still have and LOVE my city. The shirt ol'buddy was wearing was dope " NEGUS" in African that means KING...
I’m from Milwaukee but the most of my family is in St. Louis so the Lou is my second home....it’s real there. Come to Milwaukee, is very hood hood and ratchet here it’s fucked up in the Mil, ppl are hungry and willing to do whatever to come up smh
My mom stayed there in 60s til she passed. I was working. Graham paper co wen. New Busch pk being built. Raised so side. Later No. Then west end. Like. St l and newstead. Cates.
I’m from the LOU and I’m still proud 💨 if you can survive STL you can survive anywhere! I got nothing but love for my people 🖤 when you see me salute me baby because we still at war!
I love Saint Louis- I was on the northside and southside a lot in the 80’s and 90’s no one messed with me.. I remember being downtown when the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006 for one night everyone got a long and celebrated- it was so amazing. Both north and south side have beautiful homes and they’re being ruined… it’s sad. Just to let you know I voted for Obama lol
I'm originally from STL, living in Scotland now. I grew up in Kinloch ,(ironically enough) went to St Martin's Daycare, right next to Holy Angels School. But for 1st - 8th grade I went to schools in Ferguson Florissant school district. Then from there, I lived in North woods, on Roxie, it was all Normandy middle & high school. OMFG🤷♀️🤦♀️ I don't know how I got through that. Lol Class of 99 btw. It looks nothing like it did when I went there. They fixed it up real nice, don't know if the teachers are any better though. Anyway, lived in Castle Point on Baron for some years. I loved it there, and never had any actual issues. Then somehow I ended living in South City, in Dutch Town etc then Benton Park, then eventually out of the states altogether in 2016. I do miss certain things about STL, like Cherokee Street and The Loop and Imo's. I just don't miss the attitudes.
@@threetimesfinal1618 Oh, started off going to school here, then visiting bk and forth. Over the time started building connections, which helped with getting work here eventually. X I'm not a citizen yet actually. I'm on a work visa and have two more years before I either go back to the states or become a British citizen. But yeah, you have to be here five consecutive years prior to citizenship. I'm going to see about duel citizenship. But I'm not rich, or even well off, so doubt I could do that. 🤔
I grew up in Northwoods. Went to Normandy Middle and Normandy High my freshman year. Ended up graduating from McCluer South - Berkeley though. If you’re class of ‘99 you probably knew my sister April.
Born and raised in East St. Louis. Stayed on both sides of the river. I think it's that Mid West life style. A message to all visitors keep your head on swivel.
The real problem with our city is that it’s been ran to the ground by a Democrat (Lacy Clay) for the past 20 years. The policies haven’t worked and has only increased homelessness and violent crime rates, hurt our public school system, and caused people who want a better life for their family to migrate deeper into the county. We call this white flight, but I’m black and I did the exact same thing. I’m from Normandy. Grew up off of Natural Bridge and Lucas & Hunt. As soon as I got married and had kids I left and moved to West County. The district I live is actually ran by a Republican (Ann Wagner) and you can see the difference. I don’t understand why we keep voting Democrat and expecting things to change in our communities. If these people I live around now start voting Democrat, I’m leaving and moving my family to a Republican ran city. Democrats can’t seem to run a city properly at all.
Chris Colburn well u must be a kid because how is a city fake. That's why I said no it wasn't. And fix it grammer. And who says stl is fake. You can't speak for other people except urself.
I was born and raised in stl also!! i figured, if you were raised in stl you can make it anywhere!!! I love stl and miss it sometimes!!! STL has changed!! Every time I go back, I like when they build this here? WOW!! #iwillalwayslovethelou
I stay in south county & not a day/ night goes by my ring app doesn’t have neighborhood alerts of random people trespassing, tossing cars, stealing cars, gunshots, the whole 9. They migrate from the city especially late night to come pray on county folks and try to steal whatever they can. Sometimes they’re on foot, sometimes it’s an entire car load and they jump out and all go separate ways checking cars or whatever they can. I ride my scooter in the city a lot and I jog on the north side sometimes at night but ya it gets rough
Man, I'm off work today and ended up on Missouri UA-cam videos.. I was born here, it not a bad place at all. I've been all over the United States and I have to say the Mid West is a pretty ok place. Of course you don't go hanging out in the wrong neighborhood, that goes for ANY city. I've had enough though..heading south.
I moved from St. Charles to Dutch town to escape a different type of violent situation. But I don't understand why violence is moving down here too. There's been shootings down every other street it seems. And it feels like I can't leave my house mid day. I definitely can't move again so now I feel stuck in it. Again.
I used to stay on Penrose and Red Bud ave with my cousin for about 6 months walked all around besides a few notorious streets i was told to stay away from i can say i survived in North St Louis
I’ve been growing up here my whole life and I’m still growing up here now I’m 18 there is no other life experience like St. Louis you will experience some shit no one else would ever experience in their life
The outskirts of St. Louis and certain counties around it are becoming worse as well. The area I live in which is about 25 minutes south of South side STL is becoming a bad place for Mexican extortionists and meth dealers. It has personally effected my life. Like VERY personal. The police let certain people commit horrible crimes but won't arrest them because they want to use them to catch the "bigger fish". A man who beat people if they didn't pay him didn't get arrested until he kidnapped a dog, beat him, and threw him in a ditch. He beat people for money while the police knew, but it took beating a dog to get arrested. The world is fucked. Anyway he's in jail now for beating the dog and also for felony gun charges.
Btw he snatched a wiener dog from a girls yard, tied his feet and mouth together, beat him, then threw him in a ditch in freezing temperatures. The dog is okay now and healthy.
I live in St. Louis right now and it’s a beautiful place yes there are bad people but there’s bad people everywhere they’re just talking about the bad parts of St. Louis there’s so many beautiful parts
Yeah I was living 2612 Sheridan. Jeff/Cass. Wen work stated on there. Used to hang. Casbah. Stage bar...had move cause they tore dwn to make way. Anyone reme.ber Carr Sq village. Hey..I go wayyyyy bk
2:30 these guys don't know what they're talking about because they never venture outside of a mile or so radius. St.Louis is plenty intermixed. This persecution complexes is just making things worse.
Figured I'd watch this, lived in STL my whole life. Lived all over born in west county but moved to the north side then south side. Now I'm in Fenton but I'm in the south side almost every day.
In 1972 while visiting St. Louis I saw a fine looking High School called Grover Cleveland HS with great architecture and it looked a little like Taft High School in Cincinnati only larger and more ornate. I wonder if it is still there? Taft High school has been remodeled and is still a current HS.
St. Louis isn’t that bad. I lived in one of these “hoods” with my GF and we are white. Nothing happened for 3 years, I even had a pretty nice car and it wasn’t broken into. The problem with Stl is that it’s really segregated. You don’t see a lot of mixing of races.
Live in St. Louis, hang in every part. Including downtown. Always keep a gun on me and have people with me in the streets. People will threaten to shoot you just for being on they block
we did a drinking game.every time we heard "do you know what im saying" we do a shot.im in blackout right now.does anyone care or know that slavery still exists in africa today?
STL has had poor leadership since the 50's.. once a great city, mayors and city "leaders" have stolen from the people for decades, keeping the poor areas poor. Instead of a generation standing up and fighting the injustices by evoking change through elections, we continue to fall into the same trap year after year. CHANGE STARTS FROM WITHIN! Let's treat each other better, stop the random killings, and start rebuilding our communities instead of playing the blame game.
It's in place in DC right now. Keep the races divided. Create chaos and promise the minority that Dems are their only hope. Make a bunch of promises to the downtrodden around election time. Thanks for your vote now piss off. Somehow people still can't see the forest for the trees.
I'm like no I was born in Germany I grew up in St Louis when they asked me what baby what does that make you I just say German chocolate baby German chocolate

Been in st louis (st ann, north county) all my life it's always been a mix of beautiful and bullshit. North county is definitely on it's up but still has a long ass way to go. Love this city nearly moved away a few times but cant seem to.
😂 I beeeen tryna get out the 314, just not a productive environment...but catch ole slim at delmar loop riding bird scooters selling $10 bags at night time 💀
St louis is loosing its population ( tax payers). As soon as I can , I'm going too. Who'd want to move here ? Driving through on streets or highway is scary as hell. Cars running up on me, trying to intimidate me ! Had 1 gal this summer tried to run me off the road, swung her car into my lane, but obviously I was a much better driver than her. What a fool.! I doubt she has even license plates on her car. Yes, Stl ,you're a lost city.
I work in St Louis but HEEELLLL NAH I dont live here. Most ppl have zero respect for life. People dying everyday and ready to steal everything you own for a quick come up.
i cant imagine any neiborhood hood better than north st.louis growing up from 1970 till 1980.it was like the little rascals ,summer weekends at hyde park there would be no less than 100 kids hanging out,iit was all white from the water towers to crown candy,most whites stayed in a fifteen block radius and the blacks stayed out.but it stilled seem like we all respected each other.i lived at the dividend line by the water towers for a while,and when my white friends would go on vacation for the weekend i would go over and play with the black kids,the same kids i fought during the week,i never understood how i got away with that.
@@BMTDreMoney8 I’m guessing you’ve never been on the West Side of Chicago before, boy I guess you should spend a little bit more time there, in fact the first time I’ve been there in Broad daylight they were shooting 2 blocks away & 2 people were shot on the corner, & the way everyday life is over there, it’s worse than St. Louis sometimes, I’ve been in STL so many times, compared to Outwest Chiraq, it’s mellow, I’m not saying it ain’t cracking but when I was there it was mellow, Bruh I ain’t gonna lie it’s way worse than what you think, or what they say, the drug addicts as well will make you uncomfortable as shit, it’s either Drug Deal, Gang Bang, Get Money or get killed literally that’s what the mentality is on the West Side of Chicago, fr unless you from Chicago & been to Chicago, I’m sorry, but fr the whole atmosphere has changed since 2020, & not for the better.

I’m from the LOU and I’m still proud 💨 if you can survive STL you can survive anywhere! I got nothing but love for my people 🖤 when you see me salute me baby because we still at war!
Shoutout St. Louis I’m from Houston
I love Saint Louis- I was on the northside and southside a lot in the 80’s and 90’s no one messed with me.. I remember being downtown when the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006 for one night everyone got a long and celebrated- it was so amazing. Both north and south side have beautiful homes and they’re being ruined… it’s sad. Just to let you know I voted for Obama lol
keep voting Democrat dipshit. Half a century of morons like you is why we have crap like this. Pat yourself on the back libturd.
I'm originally from STL, living in Scotland now. I grew up in Kinloch ,(ironically enough) went to St Martin's Daycare, right next to Holy Angels School. But for 1st - 8th grade I went to schools in Ferguson Florissant school district.
Then from there, I lived in North woods, on Roxie, it was all Normandy middle & high school. OMFG🤷♀️🤦♀️ I don't know how I got through that. Lol Class of 99 btw. It looks nothing like it did when I went there. They fixed it up real nice, don't know if the teachers are any better though.
Anyway, lived in Castle Point on Baron for some years. I loved it there, and never had any actual issues.
Then somehow I ended living in South City, in Dutch Town etc then Benton Park, then eventually out of the states altogether in 2016.
I do miss certain things about STL, like Cherokee Street and The Loop and Imo's. I just don't miss the attitudes.
Björklova81 how are you living overseas? Would love to -
@@threetimesfinal1618 Oh, started off going to school here, then visiting bk and forth. Over the time started building connections, which helped with getting work here eventually. X I'm not a citizen yet actually. I'm on a work visa and have two more years before I either go back to the states or become a British citizen. But yeah, you have to be here five consecutive years prior to citizenship.
I'm going to see about duel citizenship. But I'm not rich, or even well off, so doubt I could do that. 🤔
I grew up in Northwoods. Went to Normandy Middle and Normandy High my freshman year. Ended up graduating from McCluer South - Berkeley though. If you’re class of ‘99 you probably knew my sister April.
@@Depplova81 You have a proper last name for Scotland. Remember Braveheart?
@@ChristIsK1ng I mighta..not know her-know her but know of her. I didn't have any friends there, but I knew a few folk.
Did April live in Northwoods?
Born and raised in East St. Louis. Stayed on both sides of the river. I think it's that Mid West life style. A message to all visitors keep your head on swivel.
The real problem with our city is that it’s been ran to the ground by a Democrat (Lacy Clay) for the past 20 years. The policies haven’t worked and has only increased homelessness and violent crime rates, hurt our public school system, and caused people who want a better life for their family to migrate deeper into the county. We call this white flight, but I’m black and I did the exact same thing. I’m from Normandy. Grew up off of Natural Bridge and Lucas & Hunt. As soon as I got married and had kids I left and moved to West County. The district I live is actually ran by a Republican (Ann Wagner) and you can see the difference. I don’t understand why we keep voting Democrat and expecting things to change in our communities. If these people I live around now start voting Democrat, I’m leaving and moving my family to a Republican ran city. Democrats can’t seem to run a city properly at all.
st. louis the realist people out there ❤️ love my lou regardless
Hannah Kurtzeborn yeah we do but these cats make us look lame
Fucked that it ain't gone be a st.louis cus all of us killing each other it ain't alot of blacks as a raise in st.louos prolly like 3000 of us

I was born and raised in stl also!! i figured, if you were raised in stl you can make it anywhere!!! I love stl and miss it sometimes!!! STL has changed!! Every time I go back, I like when they build this here? WOW!! #iwillalwayslovethelou
I'm from Mississippi and I survived there while I was staying there from 06 to 15 so I am good. No one bothered me at all.
Stl my city 🙌I’m living in Kansas City like why tf am I here I want to go back home
I stay in south county & not a day/ night goes by my ring app doesn’t have neighborhood alerts of random people trespassing, tossing cars, stealing cars, gunshots, the whole 9. They migrate from the city especially late night to come pray on county folks and try to steal whatever they can. Sometimes they’re on foot, sometimes it’s an entire car load and they jump out and all go separate ways checking cars or whatever they can. I ride my scooter in the city a lot and I jog on the north side sometimes at night but ya it gets rough
Man, I'm off work today and ended up on Missouri UA-cam videos.. I was born here, it not a bad place at all. I've been all over the United States and I have to say the Mid West is a pretty ok place. Of course you don't go hanging out in the wrong neighborhood, that goes for ANY city. I've had enough though..heading south.
I moved from St. Charles to Dutch town to escape a different type of violent situation.
But I don't understand why violence is moving down here too. There's been shootings down every other street it seems. And it feels like I can't leave my house mid day. I definitely can't move again so now I feel stuck in it. Again.
Yeah fr. dude just got murdered in st.charles for parking in a handy cap spot at Target gdm
It’s cuz we in Missouri. There’s meth and guns everywhere you go

Why do all these Channels who do videos on st.louis only view the north side ?
Cuz the North is popping. Always has been.
The outskirts of St. Louis and certain counties around it are becoming worse as well. The area I live in which is about 25 minutes south of South side STL is becoming a bad place for Mexican extortionists and meth dealers. It has personally effected my life. Like VERY personal. The police let certain people commit horrible crimes but won't arrest them because they want to use them to catch the "bigger fish". A man who beat people if they didn't pay him didn't get arrested until he kidnapped a dog, beat him, and threw him in a ditch. He beat people for money while the police knew, but it took beating a dog to get arrested. The world is fucked. Anyway he's in jail now for beating the dog and also for felony gun charges.
Btw he snatched a wiener dog from a girls yard, tied his feet and mouth together, beat him, then threw him in a ditch in freezing temperatures. The dog is okay now and healthy.
North county is the hood
I live in St. Louis right now and it’s a beautiful place yes there are bad people but there’s bad people everywhere they’re just talking about the bad parts of St. Louis there’s so many beautiful parts
Stop the kap you probably live in South county

Native American burial mounds were demolished to build the city... that's why it's sometimes called Mound City.

Figured I'd watch this, lived in STL my whole life. Lived all over born in west county but moved to the north side then south side. Now I'm in Fenton but I'm in the south side almost every day.

In 1972 while visiting St. Louis I saw a fine looking High School called Grover Cleveland HS with great architecture and it looked a little like Taft High School in Cincinnati only larger and more ornate. I wonder if it is still there? Taft High school has been remodeled and is still a current HS.
Cleveland still stands on South Grand it is haunted and very spooky on the inside now but still standing my mother went to that school
Thanks for sharing..I never heard this side of the story. Are churches important in St Louis?
Sue Elias I mean there’s one almost on every corner. It’s a big Catholic city.
Yes the churches are very supportive to those who need help and guidance
St. Louis isn’t that bad. I lived in one of these “hoods” with my GF and we are white. Nothing happened for 3 years, I even had a pretty nice car and it wasn’t broken into. The problem with Stl is that it’s really segregated. You don’t see a lot of mixing of races.

STL has had poor leadership since the 50's.. once a great city, mayors and city "leaders" have stolen from the people for decades, keeping the poor areas poor. Instead of a generation standing up and fighting the injustices by evoking change through elections, we continue to fall into the same trap year after year. CHANGE STARTS FROM WITHIN! Let's treat each other better, stop the random killings, and start rebuilding our communities instead of playing the blame game.
It's in place in DC right now. Keep the races divided. Create chaos and promise the minority that Dems are their only hope. Make a bunch of promises to the downtrodden around election time. Thanks for your vote now piss off. Somehow people still can't see the forest for the trees.

St louis is loosing its population ( tax payers). As soon as I can , I'm going too. Who'd want to move here ? Driving through on streets or highway is scary as hell.

i cant imagine any neiborhood hood better than north st.louis growing up from 1970 till 1980.it was like the little rascals ,summer weekends at hyde park there would be no less than 100 kids hanging out,iit was all white from the water towers to crown candy,most whites stayed in a fifteen block radius and the blacks stayed out.but it stilled seem like we all respected each other.i lived at the dividend line by the water towers for a while,and when my white friends would go on vacation for the weekend i would go over and play with the black kids,the same kids i fought during the week,i never understood how i got away with that.
