MO has one of the best collages in the mid west and that is Washington University in St Louis. St Louis I hate to say is little Detroit. I dont want to say that because MO is the state I was born in outside the city of St Louis in Overland co.

I lived in St. Louis for 20 years. #1 in the nation for crime,l and drugs at the time. Not once did anything of mine ever get stolen, I was never a target of any criminal activity, I never feared for anything. Why- Because no one had a reason to bother me. I wasn't into drugs with them, I didn't punch my family members, and I wasn't out p*****g people off.
Statistics are real, but you have to take into account that most of these numbers aren't random acts of violence against normal people.

St Louis has the highest murder rate I think in the whole country! Even worse than Detroit..... I guess though in all honesty that besides all the crime in East STL it isn't that bad, I live in Western St Louis county in a million dollar house where house in my area range from $400,000 to in the millions.......

Okay I live in St. Louis and deadass the only times I hear bad things, is if you're from Downtown St. Louis. My dad used to work around there, but eventually left to get a higher paying job. The worst thing he encountered is a murder right outside of his store. A gunman shot a young girl, about 4/5, right there. That's all I know. And tbh I think some places in St. Louis aren't even that bad. Like where I live has a pretty good education and jobs, the crime rate isn't that high as well. Either way St. Louis has some con and pros, good and bad places.

The city area has a higher crime rate than the suburbs, but St. Louis is one of those cities that seems to exist mostly in the suburbs. Except for a renovated waterfront area and the ballpark, most of the attractions in St. Louis are in the outskirts of the city.
The Waterfront area is very pretty and has a neat amount of shops and the train station is very wonderful. St. Louis also has a great zoo. Navigating around the city is difficult, as the traffic and highway system is confusing.

Being in a new place is so different,everything is different but the people are great. I got tot meet some really good people along the way.
Of course the Arch stands out more than anything else in St. Louis. There is no bad side to it at all
