In this episode of The Brighter Side of Blue, we kick off our Patrolling the Districts series with the one and only 5th District of St. Louis — the 90s and early 2000s hotspot for gangs, dope sets, and street violence.
Our guests — Billy Noonan, Tony Boone, and Joe Crews — were in the thick of it, patrolling some of the city’s toughest corners. From high-speed chases and rolling gun battles to dope houses that got hit so often they should’ve just given cops a key, the stories are raw, gritty, and unforgettable.
You’ll hear about:
🚔 The gangs and sets that ruled the streets (19th Street Crips, Beam Street, 270 Sullivan Mob & more)
🏚️ Dope houses like the Hackneys and Andersons that became revolving doors for search warrants
🎭 Characters both feared and comical — from “Stink” and “White Boy Rob” to crack addicts with plastic jaws and shotgun fingers sewn to their chest
🍕 The infamous businesses of the 5th — Sweet Pea’s Ice Cream Parlor, Beaver’s Pizza, and more
😂 Funny moments that prove even in chaos, cops and criminals could share a laugh
Recorded with Billy joining from his porch in Missouri (flag waving, cigarettes blazing), Tony calling from the cab of his 18-wheeler, and Joe holding it down in our bar basement studio — this episode is as real as it gets.
👉 Hit play and step inside the 5th District — where the line between danger and comedy was razor-thin.
