I never believed St. Louis was that bad and had never seen the rankings until today. I was robbed myself at what the robber said was gunpoint downtown St. Louis one night before going out a year ago. I am so used to going into the city regularly, cause when you live in an Illinois burb there is not much to do. I just think that you need to be careful no matter where you are. Crime related to drugs or personal vendettas is different that random crime.
Even though, Chicago or where I live now isn't rated, my suburb is full of Frank Lloyd Wright mansions and nice cars, but borders a rough part of Chicago. But Chicago, is like that - crime-ridden areas border multimillion dollar condos. Its pretty much block by block in some parts where its safe and then not safe.
