East St. Louis in its heyday was an industrial powerhouse, just like Gary Indiana was, just like Detroit Michigan was; Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Erie Pennsylvania, Cleveland Ohio. Just like all of those places, East St. Louis became a rustbelt city. The city first saw economic decline in the 1950's, and ever since then it's been in a long, economic downward spiral. Despite popular belief, the facts show that crime has actually gone down quite a bit in this town. Hopefully that can be the momentum that East St. Louis needs to have a better future.
