15 years ago, downtown St. Louis was largely vacant except for a few big name companies. Since then it's come back in a big way, with a solid loft district, new sports and entertainment facilities, and a steady progression of rehabbing and revitalization. But there's still a number of large buildings waiting to be rehabbed. The Railway Exchange is the biggest of these (but at least it's partially occupied!) One of the best (and first) success stories is the City Museum: http://www.citymuseum.org/ http://www.citymuseum.org/ It's a living example of the mantra: "New ideas need old buildings" :)
