As stated earlier, East St. Louis is just on the other side of the Mississippi across from St. Louis. It's the area to go to when the bars close down at 1:30 a.m. because the bars in Illinois will stay open until 5:00 a.m. and most are strip clubs, casinos, and dingy taverns. Most people with money in St. Louis are like others in cities, they live in the outgoing suburbs and go downtown for things like sporting events, bar hopping or go East Side (East St. Louis) for casinos or late night partying. East St. Louis is like St. Louis and most cities. Enjoy the city during the day and get out by sundown! Except there not much to enjoy about East St. Louis even in the day!
Wife and I drove through Stl (on the Thruway) she See's a sign about casino's and says let's go gamble a little, I tell her you have no clue about Stl? HELLO?
So I get off the thruway just to make her happy. Two seconds later I godda piss, we pull into a KFC 2 seconds from the Arch. I walk in and there's a huge solid bullet proof wall separating the workers from the customers with just a tiny window at the bottom to hand food out and exchange money just like a bank.. Needless to say we didn't hit no casino's and I tied my dick in a knot and pissed at the exit several miles down the road.

Yes, but the other 99,936.6 are still ticking.

Well, DC is such a large city its crimes per citizen rate gets skewed downward. Same thing happens to places like LA, Chi, and NYC.
If a couple people get murdered in a city such as Youngstown, Ohio its weighed as if a few hundred were murdered in a place like NYC.
I dont know how New Orleans didnt make the list.
Agree with turfauthority about estl making the list if it included cities 75k and less.
Many smaller cities in deep south are also riddled with crime but dont make these lists for they are less than 100k people.
