3. In the inner city portion of St. Louis City, especially Tower Grove, South City, etc.

Huge areas of the city lay abandoned and ignored. I brought my home then and am so glad I did. I hated the long commutes that so many undertook from the outlaying areas of West County, South and North Counties and Illinois. I never could understand why one would want to commute so many miles and spend so much time just to and from work. With me, it was 5 minutes, each way to downtown. I never regretted it, loved the neighborhoods, and loved the big old house which I got for a good price, and especially loved the people, all of them. This time is gone now, in Tower Grove Park (pricey now), but I think instead, it's moved on, to other lower priced neighborhoods.

People are still searching for that piece of affordable housing, they are searching for that city life that one gets when you live in a highly populated area, and you don't have to drive or drive very little to get to things.

Best of wishes to all of those in Meacham Park!!
