At Kingshighway and MLK (which was Easton Avenue years ago) was Sears Roebucks. This area was an extremely nice area back in the 50's and 60's, and I spent many a day swimming at the Wohl Recreation Center on that corner. It was also nice to grab a sack of White Castles when we finished swimming, which at that time were 12 cents apiece. Thanks for the tour down memory lane.
Mostly all streets named Martin Luther King are kind of rough around the edges. I have only seen one that was decent and that was in Tampa, Fl. All the rest were strictly ghetto.
I live in STL, the REAL ghetto is Kinloch, Wabada, Houdamount tracks, Emily, Cote Brilliant, lol those are some the worst streets...theres plenty I'm leaving out
To all you people commenting as if people are in dire circumstances just because they deserve it, let me give you a little history. The 'Ville was an integrated community known as Elleardsville before it was annexed to the city, most of the people working for the horticulturalist, Charles Elleard. Due to restrictive covenants, it was one of the few places in the city where Black people were allowed to live. My family was among those who moved there from Mississippi to seek employment. But even when White workers went on strike, Blacks found it hard to find jobs. Even though they paid their taxes, they were denied basic public services. The hospital where I was born was built almost a decade after the bond issue was passed, replacing a facility with less than two hundred beds for a community of tens of thousands. When I was young, the city cut down trees rather than maintain them and the streetcar tracks were still exposed. Over the years, people who could afford to leave and had opportunities fled gradually. It is slowly becoming abandoned now with some entire blocks with only a few structures left. Economic depression of a community is a lot more complicated than 'the people are bad,' White people have bad neighborhoods, too. Among my neighborhood childhood friends are doctors, lawyers, politicians (from local level to federal), entertainers, educators, law enforcement officers and scientists. Don't judge a person's character by their circumstances.
Ken seems to be confused. And instead of reading the post from largefather, learning something about the neighborhood, he spouts off ignorant racist BS.
You are exactly right. It IS far more complex than just... I was born and raised in U.City. 1960-1982. I had been in the city, had friends in Wellston,... never had any problems. (And I’m white). Even in the early ‘70’s - no real trouble. There is, in America today, a group of politicians who seem to do their best to divide us, “ blacks” and “ whites “ . - the “ haves “ and “ have-nots”. Because by dividing, they have better control. So many buy into it ( into the hate) “ most whites are racist/most blacks destroy everything “ Just NOT true. IF we could ever come together, .... well, enough said 🙂
You're right. I know a lot of people from the East Side. ESL is supposed to be the worst, most dangerous ghetto in the country. Lots of good productive people come from East St. Louis. I'm sure I wouldn't want to be walking the street in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time, but that could be the case anywhere. East Side kids go off to college, study, and behave. You can't even say that for all the white Catholic kids in St. Louis.
This narrator is a good example of what I call 'White Fright.' I've hung out at many bars and lounges on MLK Drive in St. Louis and in 30 years I've never seen a bar fight nor did I ever have any trouble out of anyone. At 6:10 there is a barbershop and NBC Lounge. I ignored that place for years until I was invited by a friend I met at Blue Swan which is at MLK & Marcus in the video. I really enjoyed NBC Lounge because everyone was so friendly and until the Great Pandemic of 2020, the lounge was my regular hangout. The Blue Swan is still open however it's simply ghetto. I used to hang out in there back in the 90s when they had strippers. Fun! Harlem Tap Room was the place to be in the 90s as well. A great place back then. They have also reopened during this pandemic. This is not the worst side of town. There are plenty of bad sides of town in St. Louis a hell of a lot worst than MLK Drive!
In 2000 I drove in my 1998 toyota Camry from California back to my home in Worcester Mass. I had California plates and a 32 inch tv in the passenger seat and all my belongings in the back seat. I decided to find and surprise my buddy steve that lived in St louis and had visited St louis in 1995 when him and I were in the navy. I love the city !! Anyways I got to St louis around 6 oclock right about the time the Cardinals were gonna take on the Mets in the NLCS. Anyways I found a payphone and actually got a hold of my old navy buddy steve and he gave me directions over the pay phone. Well I dont know what happened but I went right when I should have gone left and it didn't take too long for this out of town white boy with a tv in the front seat to be completely lost and completely shitting my pants !! Everything just got dark real quick and I felt so alone and small and just wanted to turn around as quickly as possible. As I was looking ahead I saw a rotary type thing that would either take me back where I was or if I went straight to a bridge. Well in 1995 when I first visited Steve in St Louis he told me no matter what if I ever get lost in St Louis dont ever cross a bridge. That advice came in big as I turned around went all the way back to the payphone got the right directions and as usual had a kick ass time in a great city !! But for about 15 minutes I wasn't sure if I was gonna get out of there alive :)
I like how people who live in cali or Georgia or Florida .. sharing they 2 cents about how this place came to be .. if you ain't from the Lou don't talk about how it is to be in the Lou .. 💯
Nene Jones im white but you're not lying people on here saying shit probably have not ever been to stl and probably live in the woods with an out house and have no running water but yet calling people from stl city trash when these dirt balls have to go take a bath in the river
Southern end of the 'Ville; my grandparents lived where there is a closed moving company on the right side. My uncle ran a bar that was in that condemned building back when that street was the center of the world of St. Louis jazz outside of Gaslight Square.
Watching this video brought back a lot of old memories. Half of the bars you said you've been in I've been in. Most of the places that I've been too on MLK are gone. It's been a min since I've been back, but I'll guess things have changed a lot since then.
Get out the car and go say wassup 😂😂😂 interact wit the ppl instead pointing everything out thats wrong. Pretty condescending kind of sounds like you're an afraid bigot or a cop maybe both.
I've been living in St Louis for 45 years I was born here there's not a place in St Louis that I will not go I don't give a flying f*** if it's a white neighborhood or black neighborhood I've been to California California don't look no different in St Louis for those there that's never been to California go down Beverly Hills 902 one Oaks it looks just like roasted in the daytime what you see on TV is the nice thing Kansas City looks just like Saint Louis 314 is always in my heart
That lady mowing the lot. Either she's getting paid or she has pride. Either way, good for her. I'd buy her some gasoline and a couple Gatoraids. My neighborhood was Kingshighway @ I-70--Mark Twain.
It seems that every city in America has a M L King Street. And most of them are in the worst neighborhoods in those cities. Im sure he would be so proud of the black neighborhoods surrounding his namesake street.
In '60 and '61 I lived on Ella just off Hodiamont..2 or 3 blocks down on Easton was the Katz drugstore, our teen hangout. Next to that was the Hodiamont streetcar loop. I don't think any of that is still there.
I'm glad you taking people on a ride through the hood so that they can see it's not bad all the time and most incidents or targeted incidents not random we live just like the people in the suburbs live no different like you said if you cross someone you just get crossed out so with that being said mind your own business it'll be like Mayberry
Martins has some of the best meat around even to this day...I grew up here in this neighborhood...yes It may not be the best now yet it certainly isnt the worst...still though I wouldnt want to be out at night..
I went to Ranken Tech. and walked to Martins Markets etc. everyday! Yes was the only white boy there but never got messed with? I would assume if you stay outta the way of whatevers happnin youll be ok
I don't believe you walked that far to that market on any day, and why would you "unless you were an alcoholic and needed a drink? Ranken had a nice little store and cafeteria on the grounds. I service that store once per week with snack foods of all kinds, "it was a nice stop for me, and all a student would need is a snack. What did Martin have that made you walk over there? That school encourage their students not to leave the grounds. I have two nephews attending there right now and i was servicing this stop well over 15 years, and i live in the are. I never see these people out walking. so quit lying.
Shellboi Jackson i stayed on penrose and red bud ave for a few months i never got messed with i even walked around the neighborhoods around there i didn't walk down Geraldine st and a few ones like that
Until people give their hearts and lives to JESUS CHRIST this world will always be a Sinful and heartless nation. People need to REPENT from their evil and Sinful ways before JESUS CHRIST comes back or it will be too late to repent
The problem about this NOT being a danger zone is twofold a) you are not far enough north as this is the boundary of the regeneration zone between the economically depressed north city and booming tech zone to the south, so you have to admit, it's improving as the tech zone moves northward, b) it's daytime. Stop at those LONG lights at night time and see how things are different. The number of properties for sale is decreasing steadily as investors scarf up cheap places to rehab in this area. Truly, the area could use less stop lights!
I certainly wouldn't wanna be driving or walking around the MLK area. I wouldn't even wanna be crossing kingshighway going north delmar blvd. Because that's where the most dangerous areas really start.
It’s sad this used to be a beautiful community filled with successful black businesses and hard working black families. Not sure what happened to make it change but obviously it’s not a race thing or else it always would’ve been a bad area.
lived here all my live and i go and work in the worst good as long as keep to your self and there to help them you have no issues.. also if just driving you wont have no issues. just dont stop. and fallow traffic laws youl be ok lol.
That is probably a Tavern versus a bar. A tavern is usually located in the neighborhood . On each corner, like Archie Bunker days dating myself. You can walk and not have to catch a cab are a Uber...
Until people give their hearts and lives to the LORD JESUS CHRIST this world will always be a Sinful and heartless nation. We all need to repent from our wicked and sinful ways before JESUS CHRIST comes back on earth or it will be too late to repent. Repent means to turn away from. Read in you all HOLY BIBLE Galatians chapter 5 verses 16-24 and Leviticus chapter 19 verse 28 and 2 Timothy chapter 3 and Mark chapter 7 verses 15-23 and Romans chapter 1 verses 18-32. And if we reject GOD'S word we reject GOD HIMSELF
This person who recording this video have no clue this is not the worst part lmao, take your ass in walnut park with your video or camera i bet you will b doing 90 getting away from there, so what was the point of this video u is where hardly no trouble is, go on Riverview n thekla at night lol u wont make it
So What Is Your Point, Isn't This Stuff All getting demolished Anyway? & if you Came to Talk About The people, Like someOne Said, you Never even stepped Out your Car to say Hi ☺ So again I ask, what's your Point?
When was this filmed, in 1998? sorry to tell you, but MLK is no the baddest part of town. South side by Tower Grove park is worse, Blaine, Mcree, Shaw, Thurman...ect. Same for W. Florrisant, North Grand, Lee, Penrose, Redbud, Fair...ect imo. From your POV of the area it sounds as if your mocking the area or cruising for a date.
+Rusty Shackleford Unfortunately, when white people leave, they leave with the money, in most improvised areas! There are poor white areas; as well! There are plenty of Rich Black People; who live very well; with no white people in them! You do need an education! By the way you speak, it appears that both of your parents were brother and sister! Now check THAT!! 😒
MLK is rough but definitely not the WORST part of the city. Have u been down Natural Bridge? Lol, but I do remember one night doing doordash and ended up off MLK. I was at a stoplight and saw a man get knocked out at the bus stop, then the 3 guys around him proceeded to take his wallet outta his pocket and run off. Definitely need to keep your head on a swivel, but still not as bad as it gets there.
These places will be gentrified soon. I am from here and live in San Diego CA now. I hear people from this area is buying u a lot of these vacant building. I bet that this area will be gentrified in less than five years☑️
Damm I wonder what it would be like to grow up as a white kid in this neighborhood! I’d be a white gangsta wiga after I got jumped a couple times though. Then I would become gangsta. You know what. why the hell am I even writing this 😂
thug life is loved by many, so I say let's put the thugs in their own area and block it off, and see what happens. let them kill, beat Rob and mess with each other. maybe, just maybe, they will finally get it. but when everything is someone else's fault, I guess nothing will ever work. no pun intended.
Nah, you have to realize that the average IQ of the idiots that live in these areas is about 70 or so just about room temperature. The average US IQ is about 100 which is about 95 percent of all places like much better than these hellholes.
Ty, if the place is so lousy; why are you working over there? My city, is a beautiful city! As long as you have not abused another person or stolen, killed or raped a child; you WILL survive! This works in any city, in America! Deep Counties in Missouri hide their crimes! You are still doing in-breeding and car theft, out there! Not to mention the disposal of life by burning them up! We never find them! Take care of your own back yard! I wonder who you buried in it!! 👹👎👹
In any place In AMERICA! Each city, has the same problem when DRUGS, GANGS AND NEGLECT, COMES IN! OR REVENGE KILLINGS DUE TO SCREWING ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE!! 👎👹👎

I seriously think every MLK Blvd in every city is horrible ☠️☠️☠️
Correct.
They should rename them Robert E Lee Drive.
Mostly all streets named Martin Luther King are kind of rough around the edges. I have only seen one that was decent and that was in Tampa, Fl. All the rest were strictly ghetto.
The one in Boston is very nice looking.
Derwin yeah now
Derwin u kould still get killed rite dere doe
I live in STL, the REAL ghetto is Kinloch, Wabada, Houdamount tracks, Emily, Cote Brilliant, lol those are some the worst streets...theres plenty I'm leaving out

You're right, it's not safe there, especially at night, that's why I left there and moved across the river, to East St. Louis
East side isn't much better in all truth.

I grew up off Martin Luther King on Thomas Street. Across from the Blumeir Housing Projects.
U was way ahead of our time ill be taking that torch driving around the city showing everything next 🔥💯
That was a good trip, thanks from Australia
man this video brought bacc memories. MLK and Vandeventer all the way to fairground...
I think a lot of this was due 2 the riots
When I was 17 I worked at a family dollar on MLK very briefly.
Southern end of the 'Ville; my grandparents lived where there is a closed moving company on the right side. My uncle ran a bar that was in that condemned building back when that street was the center of the world of St. Louis jazz outside of Gaslight Square.
It was Easton Street back then.
We can thank President Lincoln
Delivered a lot of family dollars stores all n bad neighborhoods
Watching this video brought back a lot of old memories. Half of the bars you said you've been in I've been in. Most of the places that I've been too on MLK are gone. It's been a min since I've been back, but I'll guess things have changed a lot since then.
The damn north side is the worst!!
Get out the car and go say wassup 😂😂😂 interact wit the ppl instead pointing everything out thats wrong. Pretty condescending kind of sounds like you're an afraid bigot or a cop maybe both.
ExActly! He has issues & they began A Long Time Ago Lol
He's a white so they think we are dangerous
Walnut Park is such a wonderful place
Yea you got to turn in left or right to see the real neighborhoods. Love Arkansas Fried Chicken that's in my hood
Right, his punk ass drove on the main street LOL
I've been living in St Louis for 45 years I was born here there's not a place in St Louis that I will not go I don't give a flying f*** if it's a white neighborhood or black neighborhood I've been to California California don't look no different in St Louis for those there that's never been to California go down Beverly Hills 902 one Oaks it looks just like roasted in the daytime what you see on TV is the nice thing Kansas City looks just like Saint Louis 314 is always in my heart

You are either very lucky or very stupid. The spooks could have murdered you for the shoes on your feet or the change in your pocket.
Also MLK isnt the worst street but alot of the worst streets here are off MLK
Shellboi Jackson i stayed on penrose and red bud ave for a few months i never got messed with i even walked around the neighborhoods around there i didn't walk down Geraldine st and a few ones like that
I live off Hamilton and mlk that's the worse part of mlk

From Wellston back to Goodfellow is a VERY dangerous place to live.
WEST SIDE!

Erin its not about religion it’s about race
I knew you was in Missoura. ....when you said warshtub
Bad neighborhoods are anywhere decency and order don't prevail. Let there be a return to decency and order.
The problem about this NOT being a danger zone is twofold a) you are not far enough north as this is the boundary of the regeneration zone between the economically depressed north city and booming tech zone to the south, so you have to admit, it's improving as the tech zone moves northward, b) it's daytime.

The baddest part of town? I don’t think so. Been down through here plenty of times and no problems.
Can’t say nothing unless you actually live there
Cant say nothing unless your grams lives there
lived here all my live and i go and work in the worst good as long as keep to your self and there to help them you have no issues.. also if just driving you wont have no issues. just dont stop. and fallow traffic laws youl be ok lol.
Just rolled through there at like 4 am two days ago
Euclid is the cross
street
Was called Easton Ave.
Uh, you can have problems on MLK 24/7.
You're not safe driving there during the day.
Need to take yourself back to Wentzville.
Good video 👍🙂‼️
I love St. Louis lucus and hunt
Professional Lifestyle........love st.louis
Blue Elephant car wash & Jack in the Box
My grandmother lived on Harper St. Off of Garrison and Natural Bridge.
That is probably a Tavern versus a bar. A tavern is usually located in the neighborhood . On each corner, like Archie Bunker days dating myself. You can walk and not have to catch a cab are a Uber...
Why the F does that stop light stay red when there is no traffic?

Where are you from?

NATURAL BRIDGE
Bad no they got a good background.
There's another 3869 MLK Dr. that's a few miles to the east. It's way -way WAY worse.

I was born at 20th and Cass 80 years ago. Was a good city for a kid, lots of parks and free activities.
From a white person's point of view
Bombed no fire
This is what diversity looks like
Rusty, you Dumb Azz METH HEAD!! 👹👎👹

What’s a nice city run by black???
MLK is rough but definitely not the WORST part of the city. Have u been down Natural Bridge? Lol, but I do remember one night doing doordash and ended up off MLK. I was at a stoplight and saw a man get knocked out at the bus stop, then the 3 guys around him proceeded to take his wallet outta his pocket and run off. Definitely need to keep your head on a swivel, but still not as bad as it gets there.
You miss the famous cops bar,the N.B.C.
Sorry
I guess that light is extra long so you have plenty of time to get shot or robbed
These places will be gentrified soon. I am from here and live in San Diego CA now. I hear people from this area is buying u a lot of these vacant building. I bet that this area will be gentrified in less than five years☑️
Tubeusmyname been watching too much exaggerated news haven't u😜.
Your not from here are you
I grew up in glasgowvillage and I bet this dude won’t walk down spring garden at night or drive down mlk dr pass 10:00.
Trump should build a wall around N. St Louis.
😂😂😂
Damm I wonder what it would be like to grow up as a white kid in this neighborhood! I’d be a white gangsta wiga after I got jumped a couple times though. Then I would become gangsta. You know what. why the hell am I even writing this 😂
Because you were nervous?
know what's funny, a Q mile up the road is the D meet and your scared just to film. I walk that shit... Thanks for a ' tutorial ' tho lol
What's the point of this video?
Oh please. 🙄
thug life is loved by many, so I say let's put the thugs in their own area and block it off, and see what happens. let them kill, beat Rob and mess with each other. maybe, just maybe, they will finally get it. but when everything is someone else's fault, I guess nothing will ever work. no pun intended.
Drake Hilligoss it's catching the youth so they don't get involved in the lousy street gangs. only way change for us can happen.
Nah, you have to realize that the average IQ of the idiots that live in these areas is about 70 or so just about room temperature. The average US IQ is about 100 which is about 95 percent of all places like much better than these hellholes.
Damn u guys really never witnessed what it’s like in the Lou it’s different than u think don’t go making assumptions when u ain’t livin it
Lousy place. I work in that area everyday. Glad Im never there after dark.
Ty Garrett pussy
Try being a brother in a white neighborhood after dark, THEN come back and talk about MLK Drive after dark. Seriously. :(
Ty, if the place is so lousy; why are you working over there? My city, is a beautiful city! As long as you have not abused another person or stolen, killed or raped a child; you WILL survive! This works in any city, in America! Deep Counties in Missouri hide their crimes! You are still doing in-breeding and car theft, out there! Not to mention the disposal of life by burning them up! We never find them! Take care of your own back yard! I wonder who you buried in it!! 👹👎👹
Film it at night when all the "Cockroaches" are out.
Dave Matthews ..right...drive thru there at night
He sound white
He sounds White
May look the baddest, but its really not
south dallas martin luther king dr way worst
Chicago is worse, or almost similar.
In any place In AMERICA! Each city, has the same problem when DRUGS, GANGS AND NEGLECT, COMES IN! OR REVENGE KILLINGS DUE TO SCREWING ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE!! 👎👹👎
