Northside is home. Born and bred. So I know its nice looking houses and clean streets you coulda showed. Some parts in the video is West. City needs a makeover. Sad to see all the empty lots, derelict houses & buildings. Especially in the Colleges Hill - Fairground Neighborhood areas. Im close to 50 years old. Can remember the areas were thriving. So i onow people older than me are really disturbed by the way Ntirth STL looks. What happened to old North STL in the video? Salisbury, Hyde Park, Agnes, Malinkriot, 23rd, Angelica, Warren etc. I probably missed it. lol. Im all through yhe city. But love me some Northside. Pops from Old North towards downtown, and the Bird from the other aide of Grand. Between Fairground and Ofallon Parks. 💯
Overall, not as bad as some other places. St. Louis has gone from nearly 800,000 people to just under 300,000 now. Used to be a great city, but not any more.
I mean it is literally the third most dangerous city in the country so not really, it’s only “not as bad” as Detroit and Baltimore. Some studies even do show St Louis as the least safe city in the US
North St. Louis City, my stomping ground since a kid in the 90s. Its kinda hard to believe I have recently moved to the county in a single family house on a quiet street. At times, I kinda miss them noisy city streets.
The architecture reminds me of Chicago's Westside. St louis is my 2nd home. Kossuth & turner on the Northside down the street from fairground park and the famous Golden house chinese restaurant aka the chinamen
So depressing. My grandfather was born and raised there in the 1920s and 1930s. He and his seven younger siblings could run around there at all hours without a care in the world. Shame on the people who ruined this area.
Wasn't nowhere always so rough. It was a time when black ppl had prosperous communities with black owned everything like black wall street in tulsa but it was numerous black wall streets destroyed cus if hatred and jealousy then they came up with a system to hold us back which included redlining, welfare, shutting down good jobs and replacing the jobs with drugs. Look up the red summer of 1920 and u will see how well we were doing and how hatred and envy took it all away and they did everything in their power to keep us from getting it back
I was thinking the same thing. I think people from other countries like the UK or Europe might be surprised. They probably think neighborhoods like this would look more like Calcutta.
I’ve driven thru those neighborhoods and others nearby. You can tell at one time these were nice homes. It’s wild to me these places were more or less abandoned.
the jobs left and the poor and middle class black population got stuck there...st louis was like 900,000 people early 1900's mid 1900s , then starting early 60's the jobs started to leave town..and then the neighborhoods die
Still have relatives living in South Tower Grove area. I visited my cousin a few years ago and he took me around to see how things still are the same even after fifteen years since I moved to North Carolina. Nothing has change except there are more abandon building and houses in STL. I asked my cousin do the city have a plan to tear down these abandoned building? He said nope. The city think its too much money and a hassles to teardown each building for each block.
StL suburb resident. I wouldn't drive those streets in a tank. Just wondering... how many former great cities does this culture have to destroy before we recognize the problem? Kno'm'sayin..?
The leaves and greenery aren’t usually out this early in mid to later April in St Louis. Seeing it like this before May is wild Never been to the city, but seeing its downfall into this is heartbreaking. It’s likely too late for any revitalization, I think the damage has been done, at least in the North side. In terms of most violent cities, it’s usually here, Memphis, Baltimore, Detroit, Jackson, New Orleans, or Philadelphia that fight for the top 10 spots every year
Vc mostra lugares lindos e lugares horríveis, aqui no Brasil tbm tem esses lugares, mais é diferente sempre tem um mercado uma padaria uma farmácia uma loja de roupas, aí não tem nada me explica por favor
St Louis could never amount up to Chicago not in looks or anything else. 😅 Also I am really shocked that people think living in these type of neighborhood is appropriate.
I somewhat agree that there's some areas inappropriate to live but apparently you haven't witnessed the struggle? If your current financial situation positions you to afford a struggling brother or sister some aid assistance to experience what appropriate living conditions are!
It’s interesting to see how St. Louis looks just like the other Midwest cities like Chicago, even though it is actually closer to Memphis which looks much different
Somebody spoke on infrastructure.Errbody spoke definitely love the city, no doubt! That's why We need to put Our head's together and help build the city like it was!
As a teen we used to run around stl, can’t say I personally have had an issue other than some homeless begging for cash. However, as I’ve grown and have nicer vehicles, no shot I’d take them downtown stl. I like my windows
As an Italian who has never been to America, I ask, is everyone there black? I almost only see men or women of color for the most part...or am I wrong?
White 137,897 46.27% Black or African American 130,753 43.87% Two or more races 14,039 4.71% Asian 10,433 3.5% So it’s about a 50-50 divide between white and black race. But mostly on the north side it’s majority black.
A lot of tax money--including from North side--is invested elsewhere, allowing some neighborhoods to just intentionally decay. West Saint Louis County has so so much stuff that they're running out of room for newer things, while other areas, particularly North, have almost nothing. They love the money from the North, as long as the people stay there. Imagine if there was equal economic investment and opportunities across all of Saint Louis...
Who ever made this video could have at least talked about where they were at not all this area was the North Side he must be a tourist not from St Louis ppl really be clout chasing
I grew up on the 5100 block of Enright in the 70's and when I tell you those were some beautiful homes and a safe neighborhood. I really hate to see it like this. Elderly black people like my grandparents, work hard to have their dream homes. Now, look at this. When the drug epidemic started heavily in the 80's, the areas started going down along with big companies moving out the city.🥹🥹🥹❤️🙏🙏

That's the Westside of St. Louis and not the Northside. If you're going to give tours at least let the people know where the hell they are.
Does the area have a name
