When I say I like STL, I mean I like Chesterfield mainly which is not actually STL, but a suburb-ish type thing; mostly b/c there are so many people I know there.

Inner city St. Louis IS horrible...I went there with a group in college. There are some nice parts of St. Louis too.

I can't believe no one mentioned East St. Louis, IL. From what I've heard that's worse than anything mentioned thus far.

Yeah that place is seriously awful, it's scary and it's heartbreaking at the same time when you realize that people actually do live there (you'd never know though b/c every building is burnt-out, run-down, and or/abandoned); I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy to get stuck living in East St. Louis. Or the South Bronx, that'd be bad too.

I also want to add Memphis to my list, a fun place to go visit once in a great while but I would never, EVER live there.

But San Antonio, Portland, and some parts of Washington would be ok with me.
