From the deepest part of my heart I beg that we preserve as much as we can of Old St. Louis. Too quickly do we raze buildings that are a part of our history. Too quickly we forget the importance of ...from whence we came. Memories die with people ...Buildings can live on to tell the story. Please save the stories! Carolyn K. Bounds - St. Louis MO ST.
