For those of you who are considering moving to St. Louis, this story produced by KETC-Channel 9 and featured on its Living St. Louis segment gives some insight into the Lafayette Square. The neighborhood is located South of Downtown St. Louis and is noted for its Victorian-era homes and tree-lined streets, its strong neighborhood business district featuring some of the best St. Louis restaurants, and Lafayette Park.
However, the story is much more than a video of a neighborhood. It describes a neighborhood facing decline and how urban pioneers and residents took it upon themselves to restore the neighborhood. Due to the commitment of early pioneers such as Ruth and to developers like Gilded Age much later, the neighborhood was transformed from a picture of urban decay to a good example of urban revitalization. Each year, it simply get better. However, it isn't just about the Victorian homes - it is all about the residents and small business people who make this a great place to live and work.
