Good memory Reggie. That was from well over a year ago I think.

the last time I really got a chance to drive around St. Louis was in November, and if you've been away for awhile, especially living in a place like Las Vegas, the architecture and the BRICK stuns you with its elegance and design beauty. It makes you think, wow, St. Louis is a GREAT unique city!

It would be horrendous, unforgivable if St. Louis trashes that.

Downtown Dallas makes me appreciate downtown St. Louis even more. This city has little history and few notable buildings over 50 years old. Some of the newer buildings are very nice, but it's a very different feel to the city.

SLU,

Urban Homesteading provided physically standing homes,that were no longer producing tax income,to qualified people.The cost was $1 but the person had to
pledge to restore the property in 3 years or loose it.There were some fine old
homes being offered.The homes would be assessed and become tax producing
properties.

involved in Hyde Park to bring derelict homes up to Tax producing status.I would
also check the HUD roles for foreclosures.It's a lot of work but if the neighborhood
becomes gentrified in 20 years you could end up with a house worth 100's of
thousands of dollars and your expense would have been sweat equity.
