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.

Then you know how Michiganders feel when people poke fun at Detroit.
