It's interesting that the few inhabited houses here all appear well-kept, painted, and with neat yards. Even surrounded by ruins and abandoned buildings, it's nice to see that there is pride and hope exhibited by those still living here.
St. Louis born and raised now clean and sober living in Florida I still miss my city and hometown and I have a little channel going on also talking about the fentanyl problem back there. I use to run those streets scoring dope now 333 days clean today and the best I’ve ever been in my life. My city is forgotten about. Such a broken place.
St Louis used to be a booming wealthy city in the 40s and 50s. It went from a population of around 900,000 to just 300k today. Its a dump and I cant wait to leave. There are plenty of nice areas in the county but people are leaving there also.
Lots of stately old brick homes here that, while a bit shabby around the edges, remain intact compared to some of the bombed-out hoods you've visited in 'other' east coast and midwest metropolitan areas, Charlie!
The quality of construction of most of these buildings is amazing plus the ornate facades. There must have been a lot of prosperity here at one time to have built them. There's way too much of this decay all across the country. While Detroit remains the granddaddy of them all, it seems many others are trying to catch up. It's despicable.
I grew up in St Louis down around Cass and bacon back in the early seventies and it was a beautiful neighborhood and I remember when it was thriving. Now when I drive through there and reminisce it's all gone I mean there is nothing left but memories truly sad😢

Wow, no kids playing outside or people sitting out on their porch. That’s extremely telling of the area.
Born and raised in the neighborhood he cruised at
Your content is always so real and gritty. Thx for your journalism
Dang, St Louis look like Chicago mixed with Detroit 👀💯💯
Another great video, CharlieBo313. Keep up the great work cruising some of America's worst neighborhoods and filming it.
SO much possibility there !! Love all the brick..
Imagine how it use to be back in the day
Those are really nice houses, shame they don't get the love they deserve.
I was wondering how many tire repairs you might have during the average month?
I wish I could go back to like the 1950s and see what these areas looked like before they went to shit.
