The Real Streets Of St Louis, Missouri

I would not spit on this city if it were set ablaze. I have lived here my whole life, and every day I feel as if I am an outsider. I owe this city nothing. I harbor no affection for it. I do not intend to die here.

I moved down to St Lou about 3 years ago from Iowa and I absolutely adore the city! I live in Dutchtown and you actually came within about 4 blocks of my house! I live just off Grand Ave Grand Ave is super cool by the way Sone really great restaurants and small shops if it was warmer You’d see the so called “hipsters” LoL! You turned too soon you should’ve kept going down Grand It would take you to Tower Grove! And you are spot on about the drivers in the Lou! They suck! In fact I’ve come to believe that the bungie cord is a standard repair item for all the damaged cars driving through the city! If you’re into Mexican restaurants you should see them on your drive down Cherokee! ✌️👽

For such a windy day, the trees sure do seem to be at a stand-still.

I live less tgab 70 miles south of St. Louis, Mo. Been here all my life. Visiting is one thing. I WOULD NOT LIVE IN ST. LOUIS FOR A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!
IT'S NO BETTER THAN NEW YORK CITY TYESE DAYS!!!!!

I Grew up in St. Louis. Moved away in 1996. But I love the city and county. So much awesome history and good food.

Stl is NOT “southern life, I live in southern ga now. Stl is a midwest shithole

STLOUIS IS A SHIT HOLE, I use to work at ritz Carlton. Stl is HIGH MURDER RATE, high property crime, loosing jobs, manufactures do not want to move to Stl. It’s a democrat black hell hole. Half of Stl. Looks like the Gaza Strip. If anyone thinks stl is a good city obviously they have NEVER lived anywhere else

Drive through the North side of St.Louis and tell us about the "wonderful architecture:". it looks like Hiroshima on a bad day. If you are going to show a city, don't cherry pick only its better parts because that is misleading, especially in regard to St. Louis. St. Louis is basically a Southern city (i.e segregated) until the 60's. When the interstate highway systenmd came in, Hwy 40 cut right through the center of the city destroying neighborhoods that were black, isolating neighborhoods like "The Hill" and sending black families into slum like projects like Pruitt-igoe that failed. Whites left St. Louis for the county, leaving the brownstone neighborhoods for houses and yards, The brownstone became rentals owned by absetee landlords and the North side of St. Louis deteriorated to one big slum. That was in the 60's when St. Louis had 900,000 people living there and was the 10th largest city in the US population wise. Now it is just over 300,000 and is the murder capital of the US. If you think I am biaed, you are right, I spent most of my life living an hour away from St. Louis in the 50's when going to St. Louis was a treat. We usually went four times a year. Before Easter for new clothes for church, in the summer for a day at the Zoo and a ball game. in the fall for a football game when the Cardinals were here, and before Christmas to shop at Stix and Famous Barr. I spent 8 years in college and law school there and I was married in the Old Catherdral, But now I only go to St. Louis to see my doctors at Barnes. That's it. St. Louis is there only in the memories of what it could have been if the whites had not given up on it and the pariahs came in to rent out real estate to poor blacks and letting it go to Hell in a handbasket. Drugs entered in the 60's and 70's destroying a lot of the progress St. Louis had made and the city has been sinking ever since.

ST.LOUIS MO. Cheap living, but comes with a price.😮

Thank you for appreciating the beauty and architecture - StL gets such a bad rap lately, only from people who've never lived here. Best restaurants in the US.

22,000 empty beds. In st. Louis. What to do with them, what to do .

Yes, I like, love dt. Louis,! These drives etc. Show the real st. Louis, etc. Not the gloosy in a visitor guide, though they they come in handy. Keep care.

Love taking the metro buses & trains around the city

You're suppose to drive in the right lane and pass in the left lane. Your driving is the problem.

Cherokee St. sure isnt a Spanish hood, it is just the southside hood.. Really no Latino area in STL at all.

No mention right in the beginning about the historic River Des Peres?

I think they say Gringo.

Used to live in southeastern St. Louis county for my first three years of life. Quite possibly my favorite area I've ever lived in; very close to my relatives (however my dad's siblings and his crooked parents were the core cause of us leaving Missouri along with other factors. I still remember him coming home complaining about his siblings.)

The south side is very safe. Majority of crime happens North of Delmar.

Going from STL to Orlando, I disagree with the bad drivers comment. I was shocked by the drivers in Florida. There are some bad drivers in the STL, but they are the rule in the entire state of Florida. I'd be doing 85 and people are still on my ass, no blinkers (I see you Southern), terrible!

This is the only place where I've seen homeless people run into traffic

What bringith you there

I grew up on Blow Street. I live there, it's why I was 18 , I just watched you pass my street , I still call it my street cause I'm there all the time my mom still lives there my sisters ❤️

BBQ and EBT 🤔

St. Louis is an under the radar city. If the hipsters find out about it, most of the locals would not be able to afford it at all.

No people? 😇

That’s not all the hoods in St. Louis 😂😂

Nah in stl you’d be considered trash at driving you drive hella slow 😂😂😂

in st louis we drive defensively aggressive

Bud! You talked about the beautiful architecture but you didn't drive by any if it! Drive down market street or Lindell avenue and downtown streets and see many historical gems. Come back again man.

I'm glad you liked St. Louis. I have lived there since the 1980s. It is a largely "overlooked" city, possibly due to all the negative publicity it gets. The bad parts are confined to the section north of the central district. I live in a somewhat upscale suburb but even though I am a retired teacher, I can afford to live there. The whole place looks a lot nicer when trees are leafed-out.

South city born and raised. Cherokee St. and Soulard are my favs! Thanks for this! 🥰👏

I wanted to go to St Louis MO

Our cars be put up in the winter

the hippies and zoomers are in the delmar loop and the grove. Those places are way north of the windmill and the early parts of the vid.

I’ve lived here all my life and I’m 64 right now. Yes St. Louis have some of the worst drivers in the world! 😄

They look more like Northern France like nord pas de calais Or belguim

looks like a shithole

Yu not in the hood in this vid dude. yu gotta go up into college hill or up in jennings, baden, the ville, castlepoint, and jeff vander lou. hoods not fr on the south side make another vid but yu gotta go into the northside thats the murder cap of this city

I’m loving this you need to make some more video about other part of Missouri I like seeing the different stores and restaurants ,the neighborhood house’s 😄🥰🥰🤩🤩

It is one of the most beautiful call and the city and state to work on the crime there,I love St.Louis ,it’s one of the only places I know that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy your family and go for entertainment .if they can work on the stray dogs running around and the crime.this will out do Atlanta anytime.👮🏽‍♂️🦮

Glad i left in 98 and moved to phx az

I hated st.Louis misery …. I’m sorry but it’s the truth very miserable city lol … wish I could see what you see in that town

Grew up in STL south county.......
It was a nice drive through some of the old neighborhoods of my grandparents, aunts and uncles!
A lot of it still looks pretty much the same ........ thanks for the memories!😉😉

Cherokee gang??

First off you can’t drive 😭🤣 but your nowhere close to the “hood” everytime i hear your say it i crack up cuz i be like that neighborhood is nice 😭 but i do agree the St Louis style homes are incredible especially in the different neighborhoods. But you did go pass the Peabody projects lol not as bad now . Lol but nice drive
