    One down, several hundred to go. Imagine if all politicians were help to the same legal standard as everyone else.

    Ahh the "City of Champions"

    According to their mayor it's a great place to
    ...live
    ...work
    ...to do business
    ...to raise a family
    ...to visit

    Also from their website are some wonderful facts

    The City`s Riverfront is notable for its picturesque view of the downtown St. Louis skyline with its magnificent Gateway Arch. The Riverfront area also includes the world`s tallest man-made geyser, the largest grain operation in the entire Midwest, and the most successful casino in the St. Louis region. Our heritage of producing successful individuals is notable. Our history is rich with talent and tradition, which makes East St. Louis a desirable place to be a part of and to do business.


    And some history

    The City of East St. Louis, Illinois is located immediately east and across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis. In 1958, East St. Louis was named an “All American City” by the National Civic League, having developed an industrial core with railroad-related industries and warehouses, and achieving a population of over 82,000 residents.

    Established in 1865 along the banks of the mighty Mississippi, the area has served as one of the main transportation hubs in the Midwest and throughout the country. Its location in the St. Louis region is strategic with four major highways (I-70, I-64, I-55, and I-255), an extensive railroad network, direct access to the Mississippi River, and close proximity to several major airports. The City is also part of the Metro light rail system which connects the region and its citizens.
    But also some sad history.

    With over 14 square miles of area, the once heavily industrialized City has been a victim of an industrial decline and subsequent resident flight for many years.
    But wait, it's ok...

    However, the City is experiencing a renaissance of new development activity and stabilization of the community through increased housing and commercial activity. We invite you to become a part of this emerging rebirth!

    Housing prices are also very reasonable

    Wow, that tells you never to go to a cities website to actually learn about it.

    Oh right, BTW, here's to hoping Rod actually does some jail time!

    For SURE !!

    .....here's to hoping Rod actually does some jail time!
    Ya know I don't. Yes Rod is a dirt bag but I would far rather he spill his guts to the FBI and then made to move to East St Louis.* Barry is not 'getable' but plenty of others are getable and deserving.

    Maybe this will start a trend of sending politicians to jail, like anyone else, when they break the law.
