TOUR OF ST LOUIS GHETTOS 2017

I was born and raised in north st. louis... my younger sister worked at crown candy when she was 14 years old... its a damm shame what has happened to north st. louis... all those empty lots were single family homes with 4 family flats mixed in.. i graduated from jackson school in 1953 and the last time i saw the school it was all boarded up and closed... now you can't walk down the street especially at night for fear of being shot and killed...

Never realized how bad STL was until I moved to Santa Barbara, CA. This shit seem normal seeing it everyday

Nice to see lots of architecture older than the '20s, for a change. Many videos of cities just show the building book of the '20s, really. This was far more interesting.

When I was little, my aunt would come to visit. She liked to go downtown and go shopping at Stix,Bear, and Fuller and we would have lunch in the store's resteraunt. Afterwards, we would go to the Broch's candy store and she would buy us some candy. That was in the early '70's. Both stores moved out a long time ago.

Looking at the architecture you can see what a beautiful city once was. The Central West End and South Grand still look pretty good.

I'm a former St. Louis resident and I can't say that the city has changed much.

I rolled these streets and worse for a time as a repo field agent. At night. Thing I always thought was funny was you'd see all these crappy cars parked on the street, and then something totally out of place like a Maybach or an AMG Mercedes or a Bentley Continental GT...three guesses where the dope man lives...LOL

nice, you're trying to get my prejudiced ire up. I grew up in this once great city and cant tell you how heartbreaking it is to not be able to go back to north county. my childhood home is now a backfilled urban lot!

the city population is half of what it was, but the metro has continued to grow into one of the biggest in the country

Appreciate the video showing the real St Louis, a place of two significant confluences. This is where the Missouri and Mississippi rivers meet and where Route 66 meets Highway 61.

This is not the hood its a safe zone he going in circles

Okay, this is what I hate about these 'statistics'. First off, these area's are MOSTLY in North City. There is still a HUGE part of St. Louis is that is historical and beautiful. I live in the Central West end and go to UMSL. The area's of Clayton, Maplewood, University city, Delmar Loop and the Central West end are amazing parts of the city. Clayton and the park have some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Also, Tower Grove and part of South City are very nice, including Lafayette Square are AMAZING. Of course there are 'bad' areas, but every city has them. So what. It doesn't mean St. Louis is that bad. And the homicide statistics show that 90% of the crime is gang and or drug related in North City and Dutchtown. Soooo, if you're not gang banging and doing drugs, chances are you'll be just fine. Look up the homicide map/statistics for St. Louis and you will see for yourselves.

lovely tour and dispite the abandoned houses the streets looked clean thank you

St Louis peak population was 880,000 in 1950. Today it's about 315,000 but I'm thinking that number is inflated. Metro STL is about 2.8 million and that's about as big as it will ever be. St Louis is on the verge of a major decline. Violent crime is astronomical. Major corporations are fleeing. Taxes are going up. The big universities are all that's keeping the inner city afloat. But it still beats Detroit!

Why would yu put ya blinker on if yu already passed the stop sign and are in mid turn ? 💀💀

These would be way more interesting if you would do some commentary.

Did you know you're supposed to use your turn signal BEFORE making your turn??? Those funny red signs with 8 sides mean you're supposed to stop for a moment, not just slow down a little. 6:33 - That B&W sign with the arrow means the street in One Way, and it's not the way you were going.

STL looks like a country chicago...no shade

Why does this look like a dead ads ghost town. I was just waiting for a tumbleweed to roll across the street.

St Louis lost a lot of jobs in the Auto and Aerospace industry.
