Thank you. This is great. Still feel amazed no one was hurt on Friday.

I have lived downtown for four years.

I love it. It's clean, quiet, and safe.

Does anyone remember the late

Myrna Hansen? She was my neighbor when we bought a home in Salem in1973

Her husband Elmond passed away within weeks of buying their home.

Myrna told me she was in a big tornado in St.Louis when she worked for Mercantile Bank. They came out of the rest room and all that was left was the bare floor.

Myrna may have been in the 1927 one since she was at retirement age in 1973.

I tend to think she was in the 1959 tornado. ???

St Louis has so much potential but some people here just do not want the city to move forward..The St Louis area needs new direction with a new way of thinking...

@stltrainlover I'm from Canada and lived in STL for 6 years. I think it is a good city. I think it could be a great city. Too many of its own citizens talk it down. Concentrate on the things that other cities don't have. Like the best blues music in the country. Get the word out. I have met people from other countries who stopped on the way to Memphis and watched the bands and were blown away. Support your local blues man, and get rid of the stupid ban on street musicians.

They should call it "Surviving St.Louis". A city with absolutely no vision whatsoever.
