There are definitely some bad parts of st. louis, but I have to say, the one main rule: stay out of east st. louis. It's pretty bad news.
Luckily, if you're in the missouri section of saint louis, you'd have to stumble pretty badly to accidentally cross the Mississippi and end up there.
- icantthinkofone 13y agoTo be clear, East St. Louis is not part of St. Louis and isn't even in the same state.
- doorhammer 13y agoYeah. But how the city is technically setup doesn't stop people from being confused and stopping there. I'm not saying that east st. louis is terrible as an indictment of st. louis. I love stl. I can't wait to move back. I've just met a lot of random folks who don't realize that east st. louis is different, and stop by. Luckily, if you stay on the west side of the river, you're pretty much fine. I lived in the city near the botanical gardens for awhile and it was great. There are sketchy places in St. Louis itself, but they're not as bad as east st. louis, and that's like just about any other city I've been.
