> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > East St. Louis, Ill., USA > > Considered by many to be one of the worst places in the country. And where tennis great Jimmy Connors hails from. I’ve heard that East St. Louis is a bad place. On one of my frequent business trips to STL I drove across the bridge to there, to check it out. I chose a bright, sunny day to do it. It is certainly a depressed place, a struggling place. But it didn’t look to be all that bad. Two 'but’s, though: - but I wasn’t there late at night on a payday; it was a bright sunny Sunday morning, and - but I may not have gone to the worst areas of East St. Louis. I didn’t know where the bad parts of town were, I just followed my nose. In play: Evanston IL USA, where my brother was born. ---
