St. Louis

It's always nice to see another perspective of St Louis. I live east of the river and get over there from time to time. I've taken a few shots of my own but would like to someday spend some time loitering around the northside trying to capture some of the decay eating away at a more benevolent time. Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

Anybody looking for bad pictures of Saint Louis, good luck. Even the northside is being renovated. I am born and raised in Saint Louis. Not the best place to live, but it is home. Great pictures.

Jayson, you claim these pictures are taken in downtown, yet you have pics of the Delmar loop. Not only is that far from downtown, it is not even in the city limits (University City). Northside is closer to downtown than the loop. How bout some pics of Powell Square. In my opinion, one of Stl's biggest blights as it is right there in your face when you come across the bridge (poplar)

Thank you for the kind words, all of the photos were taken by me.

Jayson, I admire your work,have you gone to all of these different states?

The photos were taken in downtown St. Louis. Downtowns throughout America and the world are the representation of the entire city. If residents and politicians wants the image of their city to improve then they need to improve their downtown. I used to live in St. Louis so I have been to North City several times. It is a pretty bombed out neighborhood and the infill leaves a lot to be desired.

Guest is that your way of being subtle? LOL I don't live in St. Louis anymore, but if I am ever back in town I might take you up on that suggestion.

i love st. louis, you get arrested there, theyll have your trial hearing in three to four days. clayton jail is like a all male resort, sorta like vacation, im from the boonies, aka jefferson county, you go to jail out there, theyll make you sit and rot,waiting for a hearing for a month or more, you dont get to see sun light for months on end, and the judges are unforgiving, plus the jail is dirty as hell, staff infection, unsanatary, correctional officers treat you like rodney king. in st. louis county, jail is nice, no wonder why the crime rates so high.

Have to agree with Arnica, I live here now and while it is definitely getting better even in my meager 2 years here I am ready to get the heck out. That said the City is making a comeback and southcity is making a comeback too. There is a significant amount of construction and building rehabilitation in the area and its improving everything... RickInKC has a point, this isn't an urban area like many other cities its much more "underground". But there is definitely stuff for young folks like myself to do on a weekend its just not plainly advertised with all the flash of some other big cities. Some positives for St. Louis are a strong financial sector and a world class medical research industry. The new Busch stadium, continued revitalization of many neighborhoods, and ongoing efforts to fix the SERIOUSLY broken educational system. They tried to incorporate Clayton into the city but not surprisingly Clayton refused. Would have been a boon for both cities IMHO but its a race thing if you know what I mean. This is definitely an old school black vs. white kind of environment. Unlike some other cities I have lived in like San Antonio which seemed better integrated racially.

Great photos man, but St Louis kinda sucks. I mean, my cousin lives in the southside area and that whole place is like the boonies but in like a city, man. No offense man, but it's nothing like a DC or a Cincinnati. But great photos.

Ah, St. Louis, yet another victim of urban decay. Virtually the entire North Side of the city has been ravaged, a terrible loss considering the high quality and urban aspects of its vernacular, 19th century housing. Despite these problems, the Gateway To The West is still a great American city, albeit a handicapped one.

NormanfromPa. The pictures of the city are very good as well as the pictures of Clayton, Mo. Thank you for shedding a positive light on this beautiful city!

Beautiful nighttime shots of the Arch.

By far the best gallery for St. Louis I've ever seen. This may also be the only gallery that does the city justice. Great work!
