    Forget the debate over statues. This is St. Louis right here in one tidy little metaphor.https://twitter.com/LaurieSkrivan/status/1277419900559142912 …

        If anyone was to ask me about #STL's race issues, this would definitely be one of the stories I'd show them. The location, the house, the people... just kinda sums it up.

        I know, right? Surprised they didn't send out their security guard.

        No money left for shoes after they spent it all on that house, I guess.

        I haven’t lived in STL since I graduated high school in 1990. This isn’t new. This isn’t even news. It’s one of the reasons I refuse to live there.
