    I was in St. Louis two years ago and given a tour by friends who really knew the city. I was struck by the fact that lavish old money mansions were just a few blocks from grinding visible poverty and wondered how this was sustainable.https://twitter.com/xshularx/status/1277398234055483393 …

        Before 1950, St. Louis was one of the important American Cities. Like NYC, Chicago important. Post 1950s modren St. Louis pissed all of that away for and Edge City called Clayton.

        Do you feel like you live or have lived in a bubble most of your life? Pretty much every Rust Belt city from Baltimore to Detroit is like this. Especially in Baltimore which is literally street by street, while some other cities will be more neighborhood by neighborhood.
