Rode the Metrolink from Shrewsbury to Busch Stadium in July. The trains were packed after the game. A contingent of black males drinking Hennessey boarded the train and commenced to yell and curse. It was a stark contrast. Order and civility from the station at the stadium.
Disorder and animal behavior up to where the line splits off to the airport. Order and stability out to shrewsbury.
I will never ride again and neither will my parents nor the people they speak with.
Things have certainly changed since the last time I was there in the mid-80’s.
My advice: White people should not be on the the street after about 1 hour prior to sunset. (People that live there will tell you the same.)
I would strongly recommend that you consider concealed carry (legal or not).
It's a shame, it used to be a neat place.
