If you're out late downtown, soulard ect drinking youre just asking for trouble.
This guy was by himself, late at night in an alley [alone] not to brite, prolly had some alcohol impaired thinking.
Typical gang initiation type stuff is go out and randomly Cap or beat a white person to show they got what it takes.

yeah...well all i'm saying is there is ALOT of that kind of violence/racism/gang activity here in the st louis area. yeah i live on the illinois side. but i have worked all over the st louis area for the last 10+ years. for hvac contractors...at barnes hospital...factories...all over st louis. just because i have to cross a river to get into st louis doesn't mean i don't live in the area lol.... hell i even saw iron maiden at the old auditorium before it was tore down. back in the 80's? ....i saw maiden at the fox theater years ago...metallica in the old days...i remember the guns n roses concert where the riot broke out...i saw ozzy with zakk wylde....motorhead the last 3 times they played here....
but anyways - back to the more recent years - i went to ranken tech for hvac - i've been all over st louis working for contractors ....almost mugged/robbed a few times....worked at barnes for awhile - most of the blacks there seemed yo be on a warpath with anyone white a couple years ago lol.... then the whites start shit with anyone from illinois lol....i've been here in st louis for quite some time and seen alot of shit go down in this city. yeah i'm from illinois - but it's still part of the st louis area wether most missouri natives like it or not lol.
there's just alot of seperation in this city is what my experience has been. i'm working over there aain now and i think i'm kind of lucky to have found a group of people who aren't filled with racism and/or hatred for anyone different than them lol.
if i hadn't bought this house here i woulda moced away a long time ago i think lol

Serious question: Why would anybody choose to live in an area like that? What keeps somebody, assuming they have the capacity to hold down a decent job, choose to stay?
I lived in St Peters from 1982 to 1996' i used to bash the City alot but its a great place to live.maddnotez":1n7hs318 said:Bob Savage":1n7hs318 said:Chester Nimitz":1n7hs318 said:STL has the highest crime stats of any US City its size [330,000] and has been ranked at or in the top 3 "most dangerous cities" the last 15 years.

My band plays in downtown St. Louis pretty often when we play. I wouldn't want to live there, I am in the suburbs. But I have never once had any issues down there ever.
Yes there is crime, yes if you leave a van full of gear in a dark alley unattended it will get robbed but that happens in many cities.
If you walk around the wrong part of town drunk at 4:00 AM you may have some problems but if you are just going to Stl to see a show or go to a restaurant or to the zoo or anything else for that matter, there aren't as many problems as Dan is trying to portray.
Prsplayer86 came to our show last weekend (was awesome to meet you btw and thanks for coming) I think he made it out alive![]()
not to mention there was a rap show right next door so a good mix of cultures there and everything was all good.

Avoid downtown [day or night] and don't go anywhere alone if possible.

Does it have a shower?
Mailman1971":39ss4gei said:Well bungalow might of Been exaggerated 'slightly'...
It's actually a old refrigerator box. But the GOOD STURDY ONE!
Nothing 2nd rate here. Shower?
Of course! It's behind a old building with a garden hose. Nothing but the best for my tenants.
It's lively. Lots of pretty girls walking up and down streets. Friendly gentleman selling pain relievers there as well. Saves you a trip to the doctor.Bob Savage":37ag9exq said:Mailman1971":37ag9exq said:Well bungalow might of Been exaggerated 'slightly'...

Seems a little small for 9 fellows, but I'm intrigued. What's the neighborhood like?
