St. Louis Missouri.... I've been driving a cross the country, out of all the 16 states I've been to I was SHOCKED by St. Louis Missouri. Why is it so run down? I've never seen anything like it except in bad parts of Mexico. Even New York was cleaner. It's SO weird, because there was all this nature, lots of trees and green grass and lakes, but SO many nasty houses and graffiti and burned out buildings, it truly looks like zombies took over the city and burned buildings, kicked in windows, threw lawn furniture and trash all over peoples lawns, graffitti'd the place up and made everything look dangerous and nasty and left. Why is Missouri's legislation allowing their city to be so run down??
