Hmm...how do I respond to this positively, (this regards St. Louis) I am from St. Louis I was born here and I've lived here for my entire life. First of all I understand that more than a few people have had their cars broken into during the weekend of world champs and this doesn't represent my city well, but this is a deeper issue, I may be taking this too far but it's an important issue to me. St. Louis city has a higher unemployment rate than Detroit, St. Louis city is slowly losing many of its large businesses and it's somewhat resulting in the downfall of it. St. Louis city is not as bad as it is made out to be (I live in the county area) I spend a lot of my time in the city. I've attended so many city events and there is so much potential in our city for success, I may sound immature, but I have a lot of pride in my city and I just don't appreciate when people throw jokes around about the safety our our city.
