The First And Only Thread on O'Fallon IL - My Other Home

I have never done a thread on my "other home," where my parents chose to live, because I think it's really ugly. I lived there since 7th grade, but I never associated with anyone there, because they were "really strange." Seriously.

Anyway, I'll put you in the mood with this video, shot at the opening of a new business opening in O'Fallon.

What a great grand opening extravaganza. I especially liked where the dude dropped his bike.

btw, I didn't realize what a down & dirty hood O"Fallon is until your pics, thanks.

Maybe it was they who were normal, and you who were really strange.

All Minorities- Black, Latino, Asian- make more money than whites in O'Fallon, although the city has about an 85% White Population. So, I guess it's kind of like the Atlanta of the Metro East. It's growing fast too, but in an ugly way. You should come by and take a look. Even downtown, which was built urban, has all of its pretty buildings covered up with ugly things that... well, let's just say it makes my head spin, and I think of many dirty words... to say, but ... anyway, WWJD... WWJD... I think he would make wine. get drunk, and ignore his attempt to make a mass of people intelligent.


Montecarlos, (Now a Cinci-forumer), use to live there too.
