I know I went through East St. Louis to get to St. Louis once when I was a kid, but have only very hazy memory of the occasion, and the main memory I have was I think actually in KC, MO, i.e. a full statewidth's drive later than the Crossing of the Mississippi. Vague memory of the backside of a kind of slummy brick building where a friend of my dad's lived.
But then in 2009 I went to the national Esperanto convention in St. Louis, and took the opportunity to walk across the bridge to Illinois and back. Think maybe I saw a casino or something on the eastern bank?
Again, welcome, Mike! I take it that Eden is UCC-related? At least historically it was Evangelical and Reformed, which was one of the denominations that joined to form the UCC some decades back.
