Seems like the place hasn't changed since 1930 either. Thankfully when I lived there I was raised in the suburbs (aka the County) but I did dread going into the city for a game or for the VP Fair (now a days Fair St. Louis).Bizzarofelice wrote:The inner city is not violent and negro infested. It has office buildings that don't support loitering and "keeping it real". Peripheral neighborhoods are hit and miss. Those with architecture worth saving are getting money pumped in. Toyota Corollas are replacing '91 Taurus' in front of old brick homes getting tax subsidized restoration. If you go 20 blocks to the north of immediate downtown in areas that haven't seen investment since the 50's, you'll see the places the NAACP make excuses for.mvscal wrote:The inner city is a violent, neeegro infested shithole.
I should have stated my initial premise a little more clearly.
When a person says "St. Louis" do they think of the small area constituting city limits? None of the 314 clones live in St. Louis as outlined in this survey. I live 7 highway minutes from the heart of downtown, and a mere 5 blocks from city limits, but I'm not included in "St. Louis" as described in this survey. I was in San Antonio recently and the city limits end out in some barely populated ranch area. Every square of St. Louis city limits had been developed by 1930.
How are the economic opportunities in Korea these days, Poptart?

One or the other.
Saw PE in '87, '88 and '04. Chuck D signed me trainer at the first one. I've never forgiven a mate of mine who worked in a bar two years ago in Notts and neglected to tell me that Flavor Flav was in there on a lock-in and buying drinks for random strangers. I would loved to have got pissed up with him.Uncle Fester wrote:I'm picturing you at a Public Enemy concert, drawing stares and sidling up Flounder-style to some ultra-scary dude and saying cheerily, "Oy, guv'ner, so where do you go to school, mate?"Nishlord wrote: If that's addressed at me, let me assure you that I can't be doing with Gangsta Rap, apart from the Bomb Squad productions of Ice Cube.
