I left St. Louis over 7 years ago. Probably never go back, but even though the Northside has lots of crime, they also have better community cohesion compared to suburbs where neighbors never talk. Love seeing the dice games, party balloons, and old cats hanging out on the stoop!

[@applejuice5635]

Just from a visual standpoint, this is one of the worst looking hoods you've been through. Up there with Philly and Detroit.

[@packisbetter90]

It looks as bad as detroit in spots but they're both similar looking. Once nice homes and buildings mostly brick. Seems like midwestern hoods have that old town run down urban decay look. I live in Indy and it's like that but not this extreme

[@orion3706]

An example of white flight is Cairo, Illinois at the far southern tip of Illinois. It's a food desert. There isn't even a gas station to my knowledge there. Thankfully, the state of Illinois is investing in the community by creating a shipping port. I think the total project is around $40 million, but like anything with government, it's slow.

[@supersaturn956]

Thanks for the share Charlie. Have you ever had the St. Louis style pizza and ravioli? They have custard like ice cream down there and are known for pretzels. I never been but researched some of the cuisine.

Once again, Charlie, thanks so much for taking us on this fascinating trip!! East St Louis - cripes, I was floored to learn this is in Illinois!! Is there a WEST St Louis in Illinois?? 🤔😉 It's such as shame to see those elegant historical brick dwellings and buildings in deterioration. Incredible, breathtaking architecture all gone to seed. 😢😢😢😢

[@Hype679]

St. Louis, Missouri is a major city. It's on the west side of the Mississippi River, in Missouri. This is the North side of St. Louis, MO. East St. Louis is across the river in Illinois. There's a bunch of smaller towns surrounding ESTL on that side of the river. It's known as "Metro East" locally.
Same thing that happened to Detroit happened here. It used to be a major industrial city, then a lot of places closed down. Jobs dried up, and people that could leave either left for the suburbs or to somewhere else entirely (white flight and black flight). Couple that with poor management, lack of funding, and the drug epidemics (Heroin, Crack, gangs)... And here we are.

[@devjones1]

The city government, the alderman of certain areas of the city didn't give a damn and instead of investment of businesses, trade schools and recreation centers. You have liquor stores on every other block, and abandoned houses. Crime was sure to follow.

[@flatsville1]

@@devjones1 It was more complicated than that. Changes on the law on the federal level during the Regan Admin had a lot to do with the decline.
Corporate deregulation allowed formally prohibited merger & acquisitions to take place killing off a lot of businesses that consolidated & moved HQs to the coasts with the rise of globalization.
The Tax Reform Act of 86 killed off real estate investment partnerships that were doing residential & commercial rehab on both the north & south sides of the city. I saw these partnerships dissolve brfore my eyers after the tax credits & passive activity loss limitations were scaled back
A lone, well-meaning alderperson could at best only marginally mitigate the changes that fedgov put into play.

[@carakellmeyer5037]

They have super small front yards, usually with a slope and stairs. The road is flat. Back yards might be as small as the front yards. And who would know you were having a hang out and all were invited if you were in the back? Gotta be in the front- come along and join in!
The question is : why did he "have" to drive thru the party? He could have backed up because that looked like a block party that he crashed. And block parties happen on the South side of STL. We park our cars across the streets ( someone might get a permit for closing the street, I guess) and do the same as this group. Eat, drink and be merry.

Great video Charliebo313, I guess downtown St.Louis looks more city like BUT according to your videos the hoods in St.Louis looks just like many small city hoods, they are spread out....it reminds me of the hoods in Louisville Kentucky....on the other hand places like Oakland California, Baltimore Md, Philadelphia Pa & some other hoods are very urban like, they are packed close together, alot of trash & alot of graffiti.

Lol! The buildings are pretty much rock solid. Only ones falling down brick wise are the ones that have purposely been “toppled” by bored kids.

How does a city end up with areas like this ? Should've cities be investing more in say, parks and recreational facilities, and perhaps community policing efforts.

There have been a few groups that have tried. Problem is (was with last BIG attempt) people start “demanding” ridiculous prices for their property when they find out someone is “buying up” blocks. I totally get heritage by some of these peoples houses that have taken great care & pride in them, but the burned out ones who want 100/125k and haven’t been habitable in decades? They are the problem. City is too chicken to eminent domain them for the greater good of community. Sucks. Lots of GREAT buildings/homes there.
