Just found your channel! Subscribed. You have a very unique style and is something that is needed more in the dead and dying retail genre. I also like to have a few hidden jokes in my videos on my channel while visiting the places that many others would never pay attention to… I enjoy seeing and filming some of the real old school places similar to what you’re filming. I dig that courtesy diner and the old tv repair place you posted. Going to watch more of your stuff! 🎉🎉🎉
This kind of stuff seems to be happening more and more. Not everywhere just yet, but certainly more common. It's like developers are finally realizing that, maybe just maybe, everybody driving cars isn't necessarily the way of the future like everyone hoped.
@@StLouis-yu9iz I second that, and this goes for sooo many American cities. On that note, I saw that Omaha has kinda been making some strides towards improving their streets and trolleys.
Perhaps it was inaccurate to use the term "mixed-use" - I don't think anyone will be living here, at least not in any of the existing structure. People will still be essentially driving their cars to this destination venue from their subdivisions up the hill, but at least that is a much shorter drive and they don't have to go into the scary city! 🤪 The other Staenberg development at Chesterfield Mall proper will be interesting to see. Thanks for watching 🙂
It's not even about paying to maintain a car either though... I could easily afford to but have decided to live car-free in StL city for a decade now and don't plan on ever owning one again. Climate change is a big factor (even electric vehicles are terrible for the environment) but so is economic sustainability. We simply cannot afford to continue sprawling out with low-tax return land uses. We must invest in rail transit again and develop more dense and connected urban fabric again. This will also improve quality of life dramatically. :]

Thank you for one of the nicest and most meaningful comments I've received to date. 😎
It’s getting to the point where I’m visiting these places once, time flies by without me visiting again, and then they are closed.
Thanks for sharing. 🙂

We need to rebuild our stolen trolley networks and revitalize StL proper with dense development again!

What happens when you put a 3rd mall in just a few miles from 2 2 other malls

Across the highway is the longest strip mall in the world
Ha ha! Is it really? I can believe it, it's a 1.5 mile long monster! Thanks for watching
