I was born and raised in St Louis Missouri, fortunately I escaped in 1992. There's so much wrong with the county my comment would read like a book. They've been trying to straighten the place out since I was a kid, I turned 56 this past Sunday. It's only gotten worse since I left, so bad that my sister moved down to Sarasota FL earlier this year. She was one of those, I was born here and I'm gonna die here people. Not anymore, she came to Tampa for my birthday this weekend when she made the statement. "She should've moved a long time ago" I LMAO!

@PanamaRose I was born at Homer G Phillips, went to Sumner highschool. I know all about the places you mentioned, central west end, Forest Park, River front and ect. I was a diehard St Louis but after I went off to college,(Florida A&M, go Rattlers) I lost interest in staying or living there. I returned to a city I didn't recognize anymore, most of the businesses in my neighborhood had closed. And there were more vacant homes and lots than houses on my block. Took me a couple years before I moved to Florida in 92, I went back to visit a few times visiting family and it had gotten worse. After a while I stopped returning except see mom it didn't feel like home anymore. Mom moved in with my wife and I 2017 haven't been back since. Now my sister is here across the bay I don't even think about the place until I hear Briggs talking about it on one of his list. Which seems to be a lot often lately, it's almost always on the the worst list. Not all the city is bad just certain areas, but with the lack of interest from the local politicians in changing things I can only see it getting worse.

@sporgiii Exactly Brentwood, Chesterfield and Ladue areas have always been nice upscale will to do places. But majority of the the densely populated areas have a lot of crime. My sister lived in U-City before her and her husband moved here to Florida. She said it was starting to get bad where she was at and decided it was time for a change. She said that even the Central West end was having problems with crime, that was all but unheard of in the 80s and early 90s when I lived there. My mom use to take us to Spanish Lake for picnic's and fishing, I hear that north county is now a free for all and we all heard about Ferguson.

@DTD110865 There's 400+ thousand in the Tampa surrounding areas. Yeah we have crime, every place has crime, but St Louis takes it to a whole new level. A city with 300k , 100k less people than Tampa average 250+ murders annually, where Tampa and surrounding areas barely make 60 in a year. That's just the city of St Louis and not the surrounding area. I know someone is going to say, what about Chicago? There's 11 million people there, they can have 2k murders and won't make murder capital. St Louis has had 200+ murders annually since I was a kid. The highest number wasn't even in the recent years, it was 1970 at 278, they tied it in 2020. Something is seriously wrong in that city, I'm glad my family finally got out of there.
