Man on the Street: St. Louis Loop
We have already done 'Man on the Street' interviews in 5 cities: Springfield and St. Louis, MO as well as San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. We thought we would show some of what we got from our St. Louis interviews. I find some of the interviewees responses very thought provoking while others seem to be rather simple. 3 of the most probing responses for me were...
1. One woman said most people are posing when they say they care about Africa. That a lot of times they just like wearing the shirt. If they really cared, they would be out doing something. I wonder how many people just stop at wearing the shirt?
2. One woman towards the end says we need to be taking care of poverty here. That there are children here in the U.S. with no food, no water, living in card board boxes, and dying all the time. Is this true? Don't we have sanitary water everywhere in the United States? If they were in this bad of a situation, could they not walk into a Subway restaurant and stick their head under the fountain in the bathroom? I know that may sound cold, but really, to 1 billion people in the world, having that amount of access to clean water makes those people not in poverty. Poverty worldwide is characterized as living off $2 a day or less. Who, anywhere in the U.S., could not beg for more than 2 dollars in a day? Can extreme poverty in the third world even be compared like this to American poverty? What do you think?
3. The last guy actually shares a lot of my opinions. I think the Western world has some kind of responsibility because our ancestors colonization of Sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the third world had a huge impact on the poverty in those areas. Should this fact alone drive us to think it is somewhat our responsibility to people in third world poverty? What about the idea of neo-colonialism and the impact the products you may buy has on those in extreme poverty?
Just some food for thought,

Best Baseball Stadiums in the US
From the scenic views of PNC Park to the sluggers paradise at Coors Field, here are Best Baseball Stadiums in the US !

12. Miller Park
11. Citizen Bank Park
10. AT&T Park
Located literally on the edge of the San Francisco bay, spectators can soak up the stunning view if they end up with nosebleed seats. So really, anywhere you sit is going to be quite enjoyable. This stadium opened in 2011 to replace the decaying candlestick park. The stadium costed roughly 357 million dollars to construct and it seats about 41000 people. What’s crazy about this place, is that people actually wait around in canoes in the harbor, hoping to snag a home run ball! This is really the only place you can do that. Another iconic image in this place is the coca cola bottle and old fashioned glove, just over the left field wall. Due to its low elevation and often foggy conditions, it’s really been considered as a pitcher's ball parks, and pitchers from all over the league mark a game here on their calendar.
9. Coors Field
8. Kauffman Stadium
The Kansas City Royals won the world series in 2015 against the new york mets and since then, it’s been one heck of a ball park to visit. The Royal’s crown is placed on top of the big screen in center field next to color changing fountains. When the royals turned into a winning team, they noticed a huge spike upwards in attendance. This is actually the sixth oldest major league stadium but it underwent a 250 million dollar renovation making this place look just like new. And if you’re looking for mighty fine barbeque, this is certainly the place to go! Kansas City is renown for not only their barbecue sauce but their quality cooking at well. You believe you’ll be able to find some of the best barbecue in the entire country right here at Kauffman Stadium.
7. Target Field
6. Angels Stadium
Located right across the street from Disneyland, this is certainly a magical place to spend your time watching baseball. Being home to the young star Mike Trout, you certainly will get your money’s worth watching history being made. Home to the Anaheim Angels, you almost never have to worry about the game getting rained or there being a weather delay. The food and the ambience could use a little bit of a work but there certainly is that SoCal vibe. It’s famous for the Big A for this Giant sign displayed outside of the stadium. Entering the stadium you’ll also see these large caps in a well designed exterior. With Mike Trout pretty much untradable at this point, it may be his home stadium for quite a long period of time.
5. PNC Park
4. Busch Stadium
Located in the Metropolitan area of St. Louis Missouri, the new Busch Stadium ballpark has a maximum capacity of 46,000 people! You can also forget about those fancy IPA designer beers and grab some fresh beer brewed right in one of St. Louis’ famous breweries. This beautiful stadium sports a great view of an American monuments just past centerfield, with spectators being able to easily see the St. Louis Arch, while watching baseball.
3.Safeco Field
2. Wrigley Field
Wrigley Field is basically a museum where baseball games take place. It’s the 2nd oldest MLB ballpark which opened in 1914, over 100 years ago! This is located on the Northside of Chicago and is home to the Cubs. It’s unique, most obvious feature is its brick walls in the outfield, which are covered in Boston Ivy, which kind of spread out of control in 1937. It’s really the only thing that can cushion an outfielder’s collision with the walls. The scoreboard has also been around since 1937 and this is a park that’s known for it’s vintage style, so they may never change anything! The Chicago Cubs were believed to have had a curse placed on them for 71 years. A man with a billy goat was asked to leave a game because of the odor during a game of the world series against the tigers in 1945. Unhappy with being told to leave, the cubs lost the world series that year and wouldn’t make it back until 2016 when the finally broke the curse! And don’t forget to try their hot dogs!
1.Fenway Park
And the oldest, possibly the most unique baseball stadium out there is certainly Fenway Park, home to the Boston Red Sox! This stadium was built in 1912 and hasn’t changed a whole ot since! It’s most notable feature is the Green Monster out in left field. No one’s gonna be able to rob any homeruns over this fence because it rises 37 feet in the sky. This photo here was taken in 1996 of the green monster, before additional seats were added at the top in 2005. It used to be covered with advertisements like you can tell from this photo taken in 1914 with the crowd sitting below! Despite the stadium evolving a tad throughout the years, it still displays that vintage style unique here in the united States. Red Sox hadn’t won too many banners to hang up here but finally in 2004, they broke a drought lasting longer than 80 years against the St Louis Cardinals!
Chuck Berry - 2014 FINAL SHOW - MISSOURI St.Louis - Live at Blueberry - June 2014
This was his final show for an audience that came for -what later seemed to be his last- official performance here at the Duckroom, not just because it was Chuck´s 88th birthday, which he & friends celebrated that same year in october 2015.
Charles Edward Anderson Chuck Berry (born October 18, 1926) is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter, and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. With songs such as Maybellene (1955), Roll Over Beethoven (1956), Rock and Roll Music (1957) and Johnny B. Goode (1958), Berry refined and developed rhythm and blues into the major elements that made rock and roll distinctive, with lyrics focusing on teen life and consumerism and utilizing guitar solos and showmanship that would be a major influence on subsequent rock music.
Born into a middle-class family in St. Louis, Missouri, Berry had an interest in music from an early age and gave his first public performance at Sumner High School. While still a high school student he was arrested, and served a prison sentence for armed robbery from 1944 to 1947. After his release, Berry settled into married life and worked at an automobile assembly plant. By early 1953, influenced by the guitar riffs and showmanship techniques of blues player T-Bone Walker, Berry began performing with the Johnnie Johnson Trio.[2] His break came when he traveled to Chicago in May 1955, and met Muddy Waters, who suggested he contact Leonard Chess of Chess Records. With Chess he recorded Maybellene—Berry's adaptation of the country song Ida Red—which sold over a million copies, reaching number one on Billboard's Rhythm and Blues chart. By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star with several hit records and film appearances to his name as well as a lucrative touring career. He had also established his own St. Louis-based nightclub, called Berry's Club Bandstand. But in January 1962, Berry was sentenced to three years in prison for offenses under the Mann Act—he had transported a 14-year-old girl across state lines.
After his release in 1963, Berry had more hits in the mid 60's, including No Particular Place to Go, You Never Can Tell, and Nadine. By the mid-1970s, he was more in demand as a nostalgic live performer, playing his past hits with local backup bands of variable quality.[2] In 1979 he served 120 days in prison for tax evasion.
Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986, with the comment that he laid the groundwork for not only a rock and roll sound but a rock and roll stance.[5] Berry is included in several Rolling Stone Greatest of All Time lists, including being ranked fifth on their 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[6] The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll included three of Berry's songs: Johnny B. Goode, Maybellene, and Rock and Roll Music.

Anyway… back to the cities…
Reno, Nevada
Often referred to as Las Vegas’ poorer cousin, the “biggest little city in the world” suffers some significant issues when it comes to violent crime and unemployment. With a populous of 227,509, despite the luck, lights, and glamour promised to gambling tourists, Reno residents have suffered drops in housing prices, drastic cuts in public services, and layoffs. However, despite the setbacks, Reno is attempting to reinvent itself with revitalization projects like The River Walk, a water and sculpture path built in the middle of this once, seedy run-down city center.
St Louis, Missouri
This Midwestern city has one of the highest homicide rates of American cities, with the risk of becoming a victim of a violent crime at approximately 1 in 53 and a property crime 1 in 10. The high crime rate is most blamed on the shrinking economy with many of the 318,069 long-time residents leaving the city for greener pastures. This obviously impacted economically on the city too. However, what’s often overlooked is the revitalization that’s occurring over the past decade in efforts to revitalize historic neighborhoods throughout St. Louis which is attracting new investment.
Cleveland, Ohio
It’s true that Cleveland is plagued by high crime, brutally frigid and unpredictable winters, and a mass exodus of residents that has equaled 71,000 migrating out of the city over the past 5 years. However, one can’t overlook that despite being one of the poorest cities in the U.S. as it shifts from a rust belt city, Cleveland is culturally diverse as a rap/hip hop Mecca. It also boasts some stellar cultural attractions—including the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Orchestra, Progressive Field and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
New Haven, Connecticut
New Haven is best known for being home to Yale University. However, the surrounding area suffers from a dark reality, and one of the highest crime rates on the East Coast. Crime rates are staggering making it the most dangerous city in America. And constantly growing unemployment rates only exacerbate the problem. Crime is so bad that The New Haven Police Department is considering adding cameras at every intersection in one particular neighborhood where shootings are the most common.
Detroit, Michigan
Detroit probably has the worst reputation of any American city, and many tourists steer clear from the once formidable “Motor City” due to rumor of high crime rates and abandoned downtown buildings. Once celebrated around the world as the center of the American automobile industry, Detroit experienced an influx of poverty, crime, and exodus of city residents from 2008 to 2010. However, the Detroit of today is experiencing a million dollar revitalization, with abandoned buildings undergoing commercial real estate developments breathing new life into the area.
