3600 S. Jefferson to be torn down by Concordia Publishing?
The recession of 2008 was certainly not kind to many areas of South St. Louis. Neighborhoods like Marine Villa and Gravois Park certainly have had their growing pains following the slide.

Mercantile Exchange about to help St. Louis Centre be reborn
Other than possibly St. Louis Marketplace, there is really no other development project in St. Louis that reeks of failure more than St. Louis Centre.
