Belleville has its pros and cons. I love the local business here from Balance Coffee and Tea (our coffee shop) to Cosmic Comics, these business oozes with charm. But it is no secret that many small mom and pop shops are struggling to survive through the COVID 19 pandemic, this makes me very anxious about the future of my town. We also have a ton of annual festivals like Art on the Square, The Chilli Cook-Off, and The Puppy Parade. In addition to these pros, Belleville is also extremely culturally, racially, economically, and religiously diverse. And as a biracial black man with a stepfather who is a Muslim, we have experienced a lot less racial and religious discrimination than we would have in many southern Illinois towns even a few miles away. However the town feels empty, besides the local buissnesses there isn't much for to do on regular baizes without driving to other towns in the surrounding area.
We took a huge loss on our house just to get out of our neighborhood and community. Several police officers lived in it yet we where harassed constantly. We reported the incidents with evidence. Unfortunately, nothing was done to deal with the bad neighbors. Everyone said we lived in the best neighborhood in Belleville! just like the other negative reviews we found it to be cliquy, prejudice, ignorant and a “ good old boys” network.
Belleville, IL is a pretty quiet town where not much happens, but the sunsets here are beautiful. I've lived here for 17 years and this town has virtually stayed the same minus a few minor changes here and there. Also with Belleville being within a 30-minute drive of St. Louis one could never be bored!
