I have no idea how they do it. I suppose they misplace them. I remember when i was driving by there , There was this sign that said "To I-95 pointing west". The I-95 was east. I was laughing because when you head west on that particular street , You end up in a dead end in front of the winwood project building. The winwood project building is HELL Personified. Also , There are lots of street signs missing. I don't know how they pull it off. All that i know is that any non-florida tag roaming about in that neighborhood after 9.pm is toast. If you are white and lurk in the neighborhood, They think two things. You are a junkie looking for dope or You are a cop. God forbid they see an out of florida tag like i mentioned above. They will seriously raid your vehicle. Well, check out these links so you can see what i mean.

on the third link , read where it says .......Cabs don't drive through Overtown.I got only a block away, when an arm reached around from behind me and stuck a 9mm handgun into my left eye. Pushing my head back with his gun, he told me to let go of the camera
hey Chris,
wow..it looks like Overtown used to be a thriving place in the past.It seems as if the construction of those 2 interstate highways displaced the better portion of the 'middle-class' folk,hence why that area went downhill.Also,are the locals really that rude as all the reviews in the 2nd article say?
as far as the weather goes,St.Louis weather is kinda chaotic-one minute there might be sunshine,the next minute there may be a thunderstorm!!I think this is because we have cold air streams coming from Canada,as well as hot airstreams coming from the gulf of Mexico.Recently, (in the summer) there was a major tornado which destroyed several utility poles and put 500,000 residents in the dark for several days!!(including myself).Well,take care man!!
