It’s amazing to me that a large city in this country has come to this.

Not just the bankruptcy...but (from what I have read) the utter devastation.

Of course there were towns in the past that became “ghost towns”...but this has to be one of the most exaggerated cases in our history.

It has happened over and over for centuries.

The best example of that is just east across the river from St Louis ,Cahokia, a thousand or so years ago. A great city, larger than many European cities at the time (including London)
