Abandoned city garage -- once Bi-State Garage -- on Eighth Street, contains old city equipment from fire trucks to automobiles.  It's for sale.  East St. Louis abounds with abandoned buildings that would make decent business or industry sites.

 

15th and Broadway once was the nerve center of the black community.  This building is where Will McGaughy established the health services program, was booted out, and saw his successor charged with theft and the center closed.  It has never opened again.  Once it was a liquor store.
