Just finished reading a book on Josh Gibson's life. At the end of the book, the author discusses some of the other negro league greats. He wrote about his visit to Cool Papa Bell's home in St. Louis back in the 1970s and how dangerous the neighborhood was (Cool Papa Bell had to walk the author back to his car while holding a gun in his hand!) Anyways, Bell died in 91' and they renamed the street he lived on to "James Cool Papa Bell Avenue." I thought that was pretty cool and decided to check it out using Google Maps, and what I saw next just horrified me! Here are some shots below:


Looks like somebody dropped a bomb here!


The market's closed, dude!


Michael Myers would be too scared to come here!




Do people really live here ?
