That's not what I said at all. That is an example of twisting ones words.

Everyone elses responses were helpful, I gave everyone that gave a good response some rep.

The expensive car is a rental as I'll be in St. Louis on a trip through my job. If it wasn't that I probably wouldn't of mentioned expensive car because I would've known how it felt to drive one.

Are you going to make a video and put it on Youtube?
There are some on there and some of them are quite interesting, especially when put to music.

Years back I reunited with a boyhood friend from MN ( WE HAD NEIGHBORING FARMS )

He has been an on the road salesman selling tanker semi trailers in a 10 state area.
( retires next year after 35 years in business)

He asked me which city I thought was the most dangerous in his 10 state area. I guessed either Gary Indiana or Chicago.

East St Louis was the answer.
His boss told him if he ever is there and gets a flat tire to drive that tire on the rim until he can find a major service station.

The only city that his boss commented about, also.

Bad news .........the crime index for the entire US averages out to 301
East St Louis has a crime index of 1750

Good news.......it used to be worse

Best news......from 2000-2012 the population declined 15%. If that rate of decline can be maintained, in 80 years the crime ridden cesspool known as East St Lois will no longer exist.

i've driven through east st louis many times. it's on the way to places, so why not?

2 experiences - both were we were stopped at an intersection: one time i got offered a cheap blowjob, which was only mildly offensive since i am female and she was not. second time i was offered some crack to buy. i passed on both these occasions. i do know a guy who went to esl to buy some pot and was shot and is paralyzed. bad things do happen there.

stick to the light of day, don't look like you've got anything worth stealing.
