Don't fly here...

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

East St Louis is one of the scariest places on the planet.

Interesting. Mary and I stood under the Arch, well after hours, one summer
night not long ago. Everything was closed and deserted, and we were the
ONLY people there. It was lovely, with a moon rising over the city...
Very romantic.

Then, it started to get creepy, knowing how close East St Louis was to us,
and how totally vulnerable we were. There we were, two dumb white people
with big targets painted on our backs, and we high-tailed it out of there.

A bittersweet memory. I still remember when most cities were safe to walk
around in.
