After 6pm, good luck eating anywhere.

I know Jacksonville and Buffalo have crap downtowns but this place is a ghost town. For a prof sports town it’s the worst.

I lived in STL for a stretch. It blows food wise. Except The Hill. The Italian is legit.

First time in St.Louis was 1990, it was a shithole then, so no shock that it is now.

Get out of downtown.

Go to the Hill for Italian. Kirkwood has a bunch of great places. Run away from downtown.

It’s my hometown. They had a political divorce at the turn of the 1900’s when the City instituted a 1% tax on all business and the productivity moved west, formed “St Louis County” with its own governance and left it to rot. Season that history with white flight, better public schools, maybe a little red-lining to boot. Throw it in the oven with shitty inner city governance and the breakdown of the black family structure of the 1960’s. And voila! Modern St Louis. The Zoo and City Museums are amazing. But the Cardinals are the only reason to go downtown anymore. And this year they aren’t that much of a draw either. Shame.

Been there a few times and it's super run down. Drove through there again about a month ago and it was crazy how much trash lined the interstate. Looked like a third world country.

Was there recently. Near the arch/river has all the charm of Tchoupitoulas.

Spent the weekend in a civilized place and it’s unreal how different it is from being in a crime infested shithole

St. Louis really has the Cardinals propping it up or it would just be another Memphis

Since all people do is biatch, what downtowns do y'all like? What is NOT a shithole? Where is there not traffic after a game or at 5 p.m.

I like Dallas. Denver. Tampa. Charlotte. And, of course, Vegas.
