Fun fact, St. Louis is one of the only cities in America that has the most buildings made out of red brick. Shoutout from MN ❄️ I got love for the Lou 🖤🫶🏿
@@CertifiedHuSTLer of course we know that, but check the stats; the majority of them go outside of St. Louis. With as many brick buildings as there were in St. Louis, if they were being localy recycled you would see them. You don't.
@@CertifiedHuSTLer Richard's Bricks on Union in St. Louis has been here for over 100 years. Call them and they will tell you what happens to the bricks from St. Louis. When I spoke with them, they verified what I posted. Don't believe me, call them for yourself.
Shout out to the Lou. Like my second home, Im from the East Coast. A lot of my roots are from the Lou. My Dad, my grandfather, Uncles and Aunt, is from here.
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.
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. 💯
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
@@CharlieBo313 1st Video: DETROIT'S UNIVERSITY DISTRICT - University District crime rates are 287% higher than the national average · Violent crimes in University District are 270% higher than the national average. 2nd Video: Detroit, MI - The violent crime rate of 2,057 per 100,000 was the second highest in the nation after St. Louis. No matter the year, Detroit ALWAYS ranks as one of the most dangerous areas in the U.S. because it is 78% bIack. 3rd Video: Sherwood Forest crime rates are 271% higher than the national average · Violent crimes in Sherwood Forest are 198% higher than the national average. 4th Video: Crime rates through the roof. Same thing repeated over and over on this list. AGAlN, trying to show areas of Detroit, MI as an example of predominately bIack areas being “safe” is a VERY foolish thing to do. Anyone with even haIf a brain knows this. You might consider knowing WTF you’re talking about/posting before openly making yourself Iook Iike a complete tooI next time...
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.
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
