Wood River, IL (ghetto or ok?)

Post by horn12007 »

Will try to keep this short.

Been searching for an apartment near siue. I found a place in south roxana (not bad looking and cheap). My friend just found a place called lafayette square apartments in wood river il. They are very cheap.

Is wood river an ok place to live?
Also, I saw ratings for lafayette apts and they weren't good at all. Anyone live there and have some insight.

Thanks for the help.

Wood River is fine, don't be a pussy.

Granite City is just fine. There are hoosiers and white trash and hood rats no matter where you go. I work in Clayton/Ladue area and people can be just as trashy.

Correct. I should have worded my "Granite City is just fine" differently. Granite City and Wood River suck, but the original post makes it sound like he's afraid of getting robbed or car jacked or something.


I'd rather deal with the trashy people of the crappy STL/Metro areas than the uptight bitches I see everywhere in Clayton/Ladue. I swear EVERY bitch in every store is some middle aged lady with 3 bratty kids and they are always wearing "active wear" like Under Armor with Nikes but are clearly fat, doughey and out of shape. That's just as bad to me as Cletus down at Walmart with his sleeveless Dale Earnhardt shirt and acid washed jeans and mullet.

Basically what I'm saying is people are shitty everywhere, just depends on their numbers I guess.

/end rant.
