136 murders in St. Louis to date for the year. We are off to another great attempt to maintain the most dangerous city in America!

Perhaps this is why I can't fill survey positions? And why I live in IL.

Rant off.

When I left it was running 1 a day. I couldn't raise my kids there.
In the 80s I used to live in Ferguson and nap outside my office some mornings. The office was off MLK in Wellston...

Good thing I was running over 70 mph the whole time as we zipped through St. Louis Tuesday afternoon. Moving targets are harder to hit. The faster the better.

Did the same thing Wednesday afternoon zipping through KC. No need to tempt fate.

That count is just for St. Louis City. That does not include the County, which includes Ferguson, Wellston, pagedale, etc.

Is that the metro area or the actual city limits?

St. Louis = 1 per 2341 people
Baltimore = 1 per 2854 people

St. Louis is ahead.
