Forty years ago, a younger me took a solo cross-country round-trip by car. I used my AAA guidebooks to find places to stay. The car needed servicing in MO. Talking with the mechanic about where I might spend the night, I mentioned some good-priced places in E. St. Louis. His response was to make me PROMISE that I wouldn't stay in ESL, so I drove on through and camped that night in a trailer/mobile home park between there and Indianapolis. Reading about ESL in later years, I've been glad I had thst conversation.
