In hockey it’s the players who get into brawls. In the NBA it’s the fans who batter, brawl, and burn. Still though, St. Louis is still St. Louis, especially with East St. Louis (Gary, IN on the Mississippi) just across the river.
I’ve lived in STL my entire life and seen lots of Cardinal championships and a Super Bowl winner (Stank Roenke can rot in hell for moving the Rams).
I can’t remember any felonious behavior at any of the celebrations.
STL gets a bad rap on crime. Stay away from about 5 square miles in north St. Louis and it is extremely safe and very friendly....a great place to raise a family.
There isn’t much left of East ST. Louis, lL. The really bad part is North ST. Louis.
