East St. Louis
Central Neighborhoods: West
Outside of downtown, East St. Louis is largely a collection of scattered and fractured neighborhoods. Unlike some run-down parts of St. Louis, these areas are typified not by abandoned buildings, but by vacant lots where buildings presumably once stood. It is not uncommon to see entire blocks with only one or two houses remaining.
These views on and around 8th Street, southwest of downtown, are among the worst, though not unique or atypical. They are cut off on the east and north by highway bridges and exit ramps.
