Oh, ok. Thanks. Now I know where you heard it (for I didn't).
Sorry to give you a hard time about it...but it was frustrating trying to find the intersection.
From what I heard of on Fox earlier, they get a lot of locations wrong.
I eventually found Sydney as a cross street of Jefferson, which yielded up a BofA, after doing a search for BofA for St. Louis, but only after using Google maps (twice) to try and find Jefferson or Shaw...
Just browsing around (on the map, using satellite imaging) South of the Bank location, it looks like it could be rough neighborhood.
Like--- tenement buildings going back to the turn of the previous century...
I have been on Jefferson close to the city. I am not familiar with Shaw or Sidney at all. But it probably isn’t a very good area.
I worked in Downtown St. Louis and Clayton for about 20 years. Been retired for quite a while, and I know that parts of downtown have gone down hill since then.
Downtown was ok in the daytime, but even back then no one wanted to be out and about in most areas after dark. Sometimes, I had to work late, and I would ask the Security Guard to escort me to my car- that was a company policy to provide the option.
