Always carry a gun in St. Louis....because of East St. Louis.
I flew into STL last month, rented a car and headed for Alton, IL. My TomTom messed me up and I ended up taking I-270E in E. St. Louis. I got on my cell and called my son. I told him where I was and he advised that I get out of there immediately! I just thought I was back in Detroit.
