This is such a great read. For those who don't know (I didn't) East St Louis is in Illinois, across the bridge (Eads?) is St Louis. Never been to Illinois. Most I know about it is it's not actually windy and Chicagos there.

I spent a lot of time in the projects in Virginia (Hampton/Norfolk), places like Lincoln Park. My friends were living it rough, I got to see it from the outside when I'd bike over to play Gameboy. They had to come to my house to play Sega, they didn't have tvs or if they did no games. I can't imagine Darius' life.
