If I lived in St. Louis, I’d gather my family and pets and take a long vacation in a red state, where we could hopefully find jobs and a nice new home.
Six years ago, driving alone from FL back to WA, I was rerouted by a detour through some very awful areas of St. Louis. The road signs petered out, and I found myself driving through Mogadishu. I wanted to stop and ask directions, but there was not a single person I’d have felt safe stopping. As it turns out, I was approaching, but did not get as far as Ferguson when I spotted my freeway, and off I went with a huge sigh of relief. .
I can only imagine what would happen to me in that area since the Brown thug died. I’m a big threat — a small blonde woman of a “certain age.” Easy pickings, I don’t even want to think about it.
“...and I found myself driving through Mogadishu”
Made me laugh. Pretty standard for any major US city though - can’t leave the highway.
Stay on the Highway!
