This blames "remote work", but is there an employer in St Louis that would fill this building with workers as in its heyday?

- appplication 3y agoIt’s poor reporting. The sole tenant, AT&T, vacated in 2013/2014 and declined to renew their lease in 2017. Well before the recent remote work trend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/909_Chestnut_Street https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/909_Chestnut_Street
- kelipso 3y agoI get the sense the city is losing workers, I had an interest in working there once and all I heard from friends were stories of car break-in and general lack of safety.
- appplication 3y agoThis has been a St Louis trend for decades. I recall hearing in the mid 2000s how the population was 1/3 that of its its peak in the 1970s. That said, it is a nice city, and cost of living is (was?) low compared to most other metro centers. I really enjoyed my time in St Louis.
- CrimsonCape 3y agoWhat motivated you to work there? After visiting there for a school trip years ago it seemed like a remnant of industrial revolution time. The criminal aspect was doubly disconcerting. There seem to be a lot of middle-America places that are falling by the wayside because of the functional-person drain. It's not even a brain-drain of white collar people, it's pretty much everyone who wants to live a non-"watch out for your life" lifestyle, which is, everyone?
