This video is soooooo stupid, half of this isn't even E. St. louis, some are Brooklyn and other places. U r an ASS!!!

thanx for watching my vids. I love east saint for what it is. and actually the armour ruins are in national city--which was incorporated by the national stockyards--thus stealing property tax revenue from the city of east saint lous-- and is adjacent to ESL. and as far as insults go---calling me an ass is pretty juvenile, u cant think of anything more creative or original?

That was very interesting. Thank you for posting this. Looks 3rd world by today's standards. I grew up in Fairview Hts and the father of some of my boyhood friends was said to work at "the stockyards". I never knew what it looked like but imagined lots of cows and pigs beng processed. They would be ghosts in the background of this video along with the former employees.

cont. Hitting the fence.He yelled at the scab group "how can you take our jobs after we died for you in the war (Civil)?" Someone open fired from the company group,striking the boy in the head and killing him.3 days of violence erupted.The companies abandoned imported workers.When they ran out of bullets ,it was hand to hand.It ended in Belleville.Death toll varies by reports.12-38 died,mostly blacks.This info is from 7 newspapers in St.Clair Co and 2 witnesses.

Armour,Alcoa,American Steel and Cairo short line RR were responsible for the mislabled "race riots of ESL 1916-1918. It was actually a union fight.Employees of those companies walked out and picketed for better working conditions.The companies joined together and had the RR import homeless blacks from the south.The company buildings were behind a fence,the homeless were given tents,food and guns.After many days of tense picketing/verbal battles an 8 yr old white boy threw a rock .

Theres a junk yard right next to this place. Someones to lazy to toss a lot of this metal on a truck and take it three blocks down the street.

I love the noose hanging above the doorway @ 1:08

simple: blacks move into white neighborhoods, crime rates rise, whites leave. blacks are then left to their own devices, and usually destroy their own shit. White also take our businesses with us when we leave the cities, and the ones that are left; undereducated, undermotiviated blacks are not able/interested in taking remaining jobs...

my statements are NOT because I'm racist. (I'm NOT)

simple history teaches us these lessons.

there are no strip clubs allowed within the city limits per ordinance. the clubs that you maybe referring to are located just outside. wasington park, sauget, the old national city,etc.
