Richard,
...I've heard that phrase started years ago when races and social classes literally were seperated in towns by railroad tracks....in some places, things haven't changed much. You can literally be in a nice area, cross some tracks, and there's an immediate change. I used to live in a large southern city and the older folks would classify one another by which zip code they lived in.......and it could be an adjoining zip code! Craziness. Ron, regarding EastStl, like I said earlier, that wasn't even included in the survey of Stl. It was only Stl Proper.....EastStl is across the river, actually in Illinois. The area that brought STL down (northstl) is like Beverly Hills compared to Eaststl.
