However, no one else ever is. My freshman year of college, we went around the room and told our names and where we were from (a small college). I said _____ from Detroit, and someone asked if I had to carry a gun at home. That shocked me. I had never viewed the city from the eyes of an (kinda ignorant) outsider. Being from inner-city Detroit is rough because my parents aren't rich, but not rough because I lived in fear. Somehow now the stigma that others put on my city has started to affect me, and that pisses me off. So, go ahead whatever city, take our title. WE DON'T WANT IT, and DANG SURE no longer need it.Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746105867716850625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-90160221148280483372007-11-21T10:50:00.000-06:002007-11-21T10:50:00.000-06:00http://stlouis.missouri.org/government/budget07/A ...http://stlouis.missouri.org/government/budget07/<BR/><BR/>A link to download the 2007 Operating Plan (the budget) for the city of St. Louis for all those wondering where the money goes.<BR/><BR/>C-MoneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-86947100082771769632007-11-21T10:40:00.000-06:002007-11-21T10:40:00.000-06:00DUDE, poor people don't shop.

Do the math. The taxes they pay don't offset the services they get. I'm not against those services, I'm just pointing out an economic shortfall. If you have evidence that the city is taking in some huge tax surplus, call the Post and publish it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-66370603474330364132007-11-20T23:42:00.000-06:002007-11-20T23:42:00.000-06:00C-Money I beg to differ.

Plus even if they rent taxes are paid by landlords on the homes in the area. So where is the money going?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-74917616772076971662007-11-20T11:01:00.000-06:002007-11-20T11:01:00.000-06:00Whoo-hoo! We're #1!

Besides, how many other great American cities brag in their newspapers that this year's Devil's Night (the day before Halloween) had "less than 100" fires set? That's quite the progress - they keep that up St. Louis will catch them again.<BR/><BR/>OH, wait - somebody just blew up a house in Canton.
