to your point, I've always told my kids and will reiterate again-- go ahead and get your degree and study your passion, but likewise learn a trade/vocation. Be it plumbing, welding, auto repair, drywall, carpentry, HVAC, something. Learn to eat.
If you're at a dinner party, there's two people everyone always talk business with. A doctor you say "I've got this pain right here" and with a mechanic you're like "my cars been making this noise..."
never underestimate the trade school!

With the loss of Powell Square and now the Servco Warehouse, it seems something urgent needs to be done to protect what still remains. I wouldn't be surprised if we completely lose the Crunden Martin building as well. This part of town could be completely unrecognizable in the near future. This city is going to look pretty rough from the PSB (most populated bridge). Anyone know if this was squatters/firebugs?
I fogot the loss of the commercial storefronts as well....
There is so much potential in this area directly south of downtown, starting at the riverfront and going out west towards Tucker.
Whether it's doing more to protect, restore, and re-use the old buildings, or new developments where many others once stood, I would really love to see an effort to develop this area.
There's room for it all—industrial, commercial, residential. But at this point it's just abandoned buildings, ridiculous amounts of surface parking, and the occasional rehabbed building into offices.
This area should be an extension of downtown on a slightly smaller scale. The perfect transition from downtown to Soulard. But right now it's anything but.
