The area bordering some of the north part of St
Louis City County (City Districts 5 and 6) within the jurisdiction and geography of St
Louis County, Missouri. This includes Ferguson, Florissant, Bridgeton, Berkeley, Bellefontaine Neighbors, Riverview, Glasgow Village, Spanish Lake, Dellwood, Pine Lawn, Moline Acres, Castle Point, Normandy, etc. North St
Louis County has some interesting history from radioactive waste being dumped at multiple sites to the stories of long term local families. Most of the municipalities in North St.
louis county report crime rates both non violent and property that are higher than state averages for Missouri. This area is also heavily associated with
black populations within the Metro area; however some areas like Bridgeton have maintained solid levels of black and white
people for a decent amount of
time with Census data without sharp declines of white populations like those noted in Normandy, Riverview, Glasgow, etc. The quality of public education is varied. Many landlords from out of state and sometimes out of country also mass-purchase properties in these communities without giving a damn about being responsible, and the properties get overtaken with crackheads and others who
will become a neighborhood nuisance. There are many
people who just can’t afford to move somewhere else but they are good
people. Some parts of North County are also nice, and there are houses and neighborhoods that are safer within it.
Ex 1:
John: I honked at a Kia Optima that cut me off on Halls Ferry just to get flourished by a fourteen year old in a ski mask driving into work. He popped off a
shot during my
ride as I got onto 367 from Chambers.
Jermaine: John, you’re not in Chesterfield. This is North St
Louis County. I told you to get the company life insurance not use it your first real day.
Ex 2:
Martina: Did you know there’s actually a decent little farmer’s market in Spanish Lake that sells raw honey made on site?
Derrick: I didn’t know we had stuff like that in North St
Louis County!
Ex 3
Devin: I am a veteran who worked at Boeing in Berkeley for years until I developed a rare blood disorder that shortens my life expectancy to fifty from chemical exposure they did not disclose.
Ed: Leave it to a cooperation in North (St
Louis) County to treat
people like garbage and like your life doesn’t matter. Sorry, man.
