The November issue of Poverty magazine, featuring its annual 'Top American Cities' poll, hit newsstands Monday, and for the second year in a row, East St. Louis topped the list. 'East St. Louis dominated our poll yet again in 1999, topping such categories as unemployment, hubcap availability and liquor-stores-per-capita,' Poverty editor Felicia Banks said. 'The city's educational system also rated high, boasting a student-gun ratio of 1:1.' Rounding out the top five, in descending order, were Flint, MI; Newark, NJ; Compton, CA; and Gary, IN.
