St. Louis does seem very segregated to me. We are white, as in our realtor. I noticed when driving around U City that we would most likely be the only white people on the block if we moved there, but the parts we looked at seemed decent. There were also other parts that looked not-so-decent, which is code for bashed in cars, junky yards, boarded windows, and downed power lines in the street.
And we are definitely not playing the prestige game. I would lose first hand every game, sometimes on purpose, lol.
Thanks for the thoughts.
