What are we even doing? I've lived in this neighborhood for 15 years and now we have a Domino's Pizza at an intersection with much more potential, the demo of 3224 S. Kingshighway for a drive through fast food joint (at least that's what I've heard) and now the demo of the Imo's on a site with potential for something more vertical only to get another car oriented development. Just ranting.
Yes 3224 S Kingshighway will be drive thru subs, or coffee most likely. Show up and testify at the Board of Adjustment meetings. They are approving most of these.

And our zoning and strategic land use plan aren't clear enough or outright permits car slop.

Domino's took over a small office building on Tucker in DT as well.  That parcel at Locust should be so much more.  With all the retail available pretty annoyed by that usage.  I get why they wanted it...but annoyed.

It's better, but could have been so much better.

Tower Grove CDC is redeveloping the vacant lot at 3506 Morgan Ford (at Oleatha) into four single-family affordable homes. The lot once housed a gas station. Tower Grove CDC is partnering with Rubicon Corporation.







Per a Tower Grove CDC Facebook post, ground has broken on the project as of today.

A four-family has been built at 4333 Connecticut (just west of Morgan Ford) in Tower Grove South in place of two single family homes. See below:

Agreed.  A 10 ft brick return with stucco or EIFS  would look significantly better.

This one fell through and now there's someone (really nice dude) doing a rehab on the historic building that was there instead - already moving along with demo too! 

Also there's a group doing a gut rehab of 4120 Connecticut St that seems close to being done as well. 

There seems to be 2-5 houses getting reno's on every other block in TGS these days.
