Alex I's Profile

Quick clarification: the crime ranking has nothing to do with East St. Louis (which is in Illinois). The City of St. Louis ranks high in crime because the boundary of the city hasn't changed since the 1870's. Crime stats for "St. Louis" look only at the inner city. In other metros such as Louisville, Indianapolis and others, the city has expanded its boundaries to incorporate more land and other municipalities. In St. Louis, this would be the equivalent of adding University City, Clayton, Webster Groves and many other suburbs into the crime stats. As a metro area, St. Louis ranked as the 103rd most dangerous in 2010.

Anyway, I was wondering if the author could add photo credits to the guide? I don't have a big problem with you taking the photo for Urban Chestnut's new bier garten from my site, but it would be nice if there were a link or indication of who took it. Thanks.
