What A Difference A Year Makes
A year ago today people gathered at Washington Ave at 7th Street to witness the demolition of the massive pedestrian bridge betweem the shuttered St. Louis Centre mall and the former Dillard’s store. Here is my video from the event, the first 8:45 are various speakers:

Here was the bridge before the demo crews began:
The sidewalks on both sides of Washington Ave were dark and depressing.
For a year now pedestrians and motorists have enjoyed the openness.
The former Dillard’s Store will soon open as the Laurel Apartments. Â The increase in foot traffic I’ve observed in the last year has been remarkable.
