I don't think I could one up that at the moment. Not much to photograph around here except for the stuff I've already done. Unless you want to see depressing stuff, got tons of urban decay and crumbling buildings around town.

Favourite poor street is Grand you go down it at night you gonna get shot. Gangs run the streets.

Seems like there are gangs and guns in most cities now.  Shame, isn't it.
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

Yeah but when you live in the deadliest city in america it puts things in perspective. Kinda always laughed at people calling Downtown eastside a ghetto. Trust me thats not a ghetto. In saint louis downtown eastside would be considered the safe areas in some parts of my region.

I always thought Miami was the deadliest city in the U.S., followed by Los Angeles.  I didn't know St. Louis was that bad.

Nope. Its always been a race between Saint Louis, Detroit and Philidelphia. Some years the gangs don't kill enough people around here and we drop to like 5th, then they realize that they've been lazy and start killing people again.

  When 12 year olds steal cars by the thousands every month you know you've got problems.

Sick society.  What can you do?

Its not there fault that there bad. They're just reacting to how society around here treats them. Saint Louis since the begining of time has had racial problems. Blacks, lived in the north of the city whites lived in the south. It still is like that. Segregation still exists don't believe what the history books tell you.

  This is a typical house in North Saint Louis, there's a couple on every street. Some places entire blocks:

Sounds (and looks) gruesome, glad I don't live there.
A fool's paradise is better than none.

Sportsdude

Oh its a lovely place Gopher. Come and visit some time. I'll take you down Grand Blvd, where you can talk to the gang bangers, 12 year old car jackers, 13 year old hookers and the 11 year old drug dealer. They start them young here in Saint Louis. (sarcasm)

This pictures only thread needs more pictures, hay?    ;)  
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Indeed not, but they give wonderdful scope for the imagination.

I don't know, seems you've seen one red X, you've seen them all.

Madam, not all of us have had such vast experience as your good self.
