  1. #4 St Louis, where I was born and raised. St Louis has been going down since the 70s when I was a kid. At one point it had a population of over 700,000, by the early 90s when I decided to escape it was just over 400,000. Now as of 2021 stats the population is down to 287,000, down from the 2020 census of 315,000. I still have family living there who actually think the city is going to make a big turn around. Ha, ha I have a better chance of having a snowball fight here in Florida than they have of turning that city around. The writing has been on the wall since the 80s, it's only a matter of time before it dies. Man Briggs the stories I tell you from just growing up there would make your hair stand on end, an you're bald like me. I went bald at 22yrs old before I even moved, I contributed it to growing up in St Louis This is why I left 32yrs ago, there's no future living there, I saw the iceberg coming and jumped ship before it hit. I had to work twice as hard just to struggle to make ends meet. When you choose a career in St Louis and you can make almost twice as much by moving somewhere else it's time to go. That was the early 90s for me, long before I started my own business I can't imagine how much of a difference it is now.

  2.  @CJColvin  Nice history reference, but that was 100yrs before the down turn began. But I'm pretty sure it was the people and politicians that ran it into the the ground.
