NORTH SIDE GANG AREA / ST LOUIS MISSOURI

[@THETINYMALEK1]

Fun fact, St. Louis is one of the only cities in America that has the most buildings made out of red brick. Shoutout from MN ❄️ I got love for the Lou 🖤🫶🏿

[@firstof3cooks]

And as they demolish these buildings, they're saving the bricks and shipping them to other parts of the country. REAL TALK!!

[@firstof3cooks]

@CertifiedHuSTLer of course we know that, but check the stats; the majority of them go outside of St. Louis. With as many brick buildings as there were in St. Louis, if they were being localy recycled you would see them. You don't.

[@firstof3cooks]

@CertifiedHuSTLer Richard's Bricks on Union in St. Louis has been here for over 100 years. Call them and they will tell you what happens to the bricks from St. Louis. When I spoke with them, they verified what I posted. Don't believe me, call them for yourself.

[@bighomiemac3472]

There was an ordinance passed in the 1940's that all homes built in the city had to be brick.

[@timothykeith1367]

Smaller river cities have red brick homes too

Northside is home. Born and bred. So I know its nice looking houses and clean streets you coulda showed. Some parts in the video is West. City needs a makeover. Sad to see all the empty lots, derelict houses & buildings. Especially in the Colleges Hill - Fairground Neighborhood areas. Im close to 50 years old. Can remember the areas were thriving. So i onow people older than me are really disturbed by the way Ntirth STL looks. What happened to old North STL in the video? Salisbury, Hyde Park, Agnes, Malinkriot, 23rd, Angelica, Warren etc. I probably missed it. lol. Im all through yhe city. But love me some Northside. Pops from Old North towards downtown, and the Bird from the other aide of Grand. Between Fairground and Ofallon Parks. 💯

[@showmestatefinest5412]

Wasn't nowhere always so rough. It was a time when black ppl had prosperous communities with black owned everything like black wall street in tulsa but it was numerous black wall streets destroyed cus if hatred and jealousy then they came up with a system to hold us back which included redlining, welfare, shutting down good jobs and replacing the jobs with drugs. Look up the red summer of 1920 and u will see how well we were doing and how hatred and envy took it all away and they did everything in their power to keep us from getting it back

[@Bogo1313]

Some of the houses shown were mansions of the well to do circa 1890-1930.

[@joeblow2069]

I was thinking the same thing. I think people from other countries like the UK or Europe might be surprised. They probably think neighborhoods like this would look more like Calcutta.

It's because Whites used to live there. Not any more.

Overall, not as bad as some other places. St. Louis has gone from nearly 800,000 people to just under 300,000 now. Used to be a great city, but not any more.

[@mmrw]

I mean it is literally the third most dangerous city in the country so not really, it’s only “not as bad” as Detroit and Baltimore. Some studies even do show St Louis as the least safe city in the US

the jobs left and the poor and middle class black population got stuck there...st louis was like 900,000 people early 1900's mid 1900s , then starting early 60's the jobs started to leave town..and then the neighborhoods die

Still have relatives living in South Tower Grove area. I visited my cousin a few years ago and he took me around to see how things still are the same even after fifteen years since I moved to North Carolina. Nothing has change except there are more abandon building and houses in STL. I asked my cousin do the city have a plan to tear down these abandoned building? He said nope. The city think its too much money and a hassles to teardown each building for each block.

The leaves and greenery aren’t usually out this early in mid to later April in St Louis. Seeing it like this before May is wild Never been to the city, but seeing its downfall into this is heartbreaking. It’s likely too late for any revitalization, I think the damage has been done, at least in the North side. In terms of most violent cities, it’s usually here, Memphis, Baltimore, Detroit, Jackson, New Orleans, or Philadelphia that fight for the top 10 spots every year

[@LordEradicus]

A lot of tax money--including from North side--is invested elsewhere, allowing some neighborhoods to just intentionally decay. West Saint Louis County has so so much stuff that they're running out of room for newer things, while other areas, particularly North, have almost nothing. They love the money from the North, as long as the people stay there. Imagine if there was equal economic investment and opportunities across all of Saint Louis...
