If they mention East St. Louis, then I would agree with that assesment
without a question. You DO NOT want to set your foot in this town. Keep this
in mind that East St.Louis IS NOT a part of St. Louis. East St. Louis belong
to Illinois, not Missouri. That is a separate city. Don't get confused with
that.

I spent most of my life in St. Louis. Personally, I don't understand why
St.Louis was selected as one of the most dangerous cities. I have seen
the
good side and the bad side of this town. I considered the Southside of
Chicago, and several towns near Pittsburgh are more dangerous than
St.Louis. So, I have to say that St. Louis is not as bad as reported by
CNN.
I support this statement based on what I personally have seen.

You'd think they were talking about East St. Louis instead.

I came across this interesting page about ESL:
