Jennings, MO - Suburb of St. Louis |

All pictures contributed and taken by Crista H. The city of Jennings was incorporated in 1946 as a suburb of St. Louis and at the time was a rapidly growing city. The history of this city dates back to 1839, when a man by the name of James Jennings moved here from Virginia and acquired a vast amount of land. The city of Jennings was once an all-American White city that prospered and looked forward to a bright future, until Black violence and crime from nearby St. Louis started to infest the suburbs of Jennings, Dellwood, Ferguson, and Florissant in the mid-1980's. Ever since, the city of Jennings has not recovered and has been reduced to literally a pile of rubble & ruins that looks like something out of a 20th century urban warfare documentary. As in every case of a ruined U.S. city, the Americans of European ancestry create and maintain the city, and the "African-Americans" invade and proceed to destroy and reduce everything to ruins. Remember that it is always harder to build and maintain something as the European-Americans have done and much easier to lay something to ruins as done by the Blacks here. The hard work that was pumped into these neighborhoods by the White people that once settled here is now only a distant memory whispered by the wind that blows through the shattered windows and cracks of the ruined structures. |
