89 Blocks

This is the nickname for East St. Louis, IL. USA. It represents the number of blocks that the city contains. Quoting from a Fox News Story: “89 Blocks” is the title of a documentary that chronicles the East St. Louis Flyers undefeated championship season in 2016. It also tells the story how in one of America’s poorest and most dangerous cities, football is a reprieve for the players. When they step on the field, the challenges that face them and their community can be forgotten for a time.
