Belleville is the new East St. Louis

You freaking whining bigots are getting old. Go cry elsewhere and wash your stinky dirty white hoods while you are at it. Few of you are real prizes of humanity yourselves.

Just remember, for all you have said, it's better than being a decendant of you recent E. St. Louis refugees.

Nah, we're gonna stick around until concealed carry is legal in Illinois.

You are so right. That is why I am so afraid of Belleville.

Yes, Millstadt is a delightful town with a welcoming population. Good schools, low crime, close to a metro populations advantages, etc. Very caring, neighborly folks.

Millstadt---"good schools"? Maybe the young ones, but once you go to HS you are doomed. I would not buy a house in Millstadt if my life depended on it. It will be doomed due to assocation with Belleville West, the new ESTL high :(

You made a good point, something that ROTFLMAO JOKER didn't think of. Sure, the kids can go to grade school safely tucked away in Millstadt, but when it's time to go to public high school, they have to go to Belleville West anyway, just like the kids still living in Belleville.

So until Millstadt gets its own high school, it would probably be better to move from Belleville to Smithton or Freeburg.

I recently moved to Belleville from East St. Louis and after living there all of my life, I can honestly say I loved living in both places. I attended school at St. Henry's in Belleville from Kindergarden through 8th grade. I then went to Althoff for a few years before i graduated from ESTLSH. I had a lot of classmates(white) growing up that would allow me to spend nights at there houses in Beleville. We went to parties and did things as EQUALS when we were children. White flight is a problem for the St. Clair CO area but what we still haven't face in AMERICA is Racism. As blacks we have a different culture and view on home equity and neiborhood value. If you look in every ghetto you will notice that construction done is mainly controlled by white contractors. Politicians must comply with congressional wants before they do the ppl of the community. How can you expect Belleville to be the same WITH black ppl when we are not given equal opportunity. What happenes is White are running away from the results of YEARS of disinfranchisement. It only effects them when they see it on the surface. It has no effect on anyone as long as it goes unnoticed!

Bump this, WHERE IS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER"S 40 ACRES and A MULE. Somebody do owe us something and until we get it we will continue to infect good places with our "SYNDROME"

I see that the State will now chip in up to 10,000 for low income people that buy a house in Belleville. Years ago that happened in east St Louis through various LBJ instituted great society programs.
Here is is again...and Belleville is a targeted city
If I had a house in Belleville I would look at what Government housing did to East St Louis and sell my house as fast as possible. The first one on the block got a good price, the second not so well and the third got pennies on the dollar.
Draw your own conclusions

Wow, how did your parents afford tuition to those Catholic schools in Belleville? I heard it's pretty expensive.
