      Say, Puneet Brar, where in Canada are you from? I love taking online trips to urban neighborhoods in the provinces. I am especially drawn to Vancouver, BC, where the problems with poverty, homelessness, drugs and dereliction mirror what's happening in so many American cities. I've also researched the perils and frustrations of living in high-rise, low-income housing in your cities which also mirrors our situation. I hope to visit Canada one day! Several years ago, I had a chance to move to Halifax where friends of mine live, but I wound up getting a new job here in St Paul, so I stayed.

    It's like night and day when you cross the bridge into Illinois you can see the difference almost immediately. No sidewalks no street lights no parks but vacant lots with tress are everywhere, no Quick Trips, your phone will stop working because I'm sure there's no signal pins out in some of those areas but don't worry because there's no 911 in east st Louis everybody knows you don't call them not when their the Mafia. No police stations and you will never see a library ever. If there is a sidewalk it looks like it had an earthquake. If there's a train you have to wait for it

I don’t doubt it came from them, you can’t just throw your trash in the street because you’ve always lived in the slums and think the place isn’t worth the effort. It shows laziness. I know that hood is full of kids and young men. Young men that can move. Start a neighborhood clean up program. The city isn’t going to help you.

      East of the river was always the place to find all the vices openly practiced that St Louis didn't want, like gambling and brothels and 24-hour taverns and what-not.

    Lived there as kid. 1960s. One night Dad put us in a truck we drove out of there with nothing. They said was going kill pops. Fled in 1 night. Left behind a whole furnished little house , toys included. 62nd street. Grandpa waggoner stayed there all his life till late 1980s. Visited back there in 1980, i still remember all the green open spaces. 2nd time visited my aunt 10 yrs later she said no way can we even drive through there.
