Agree that I'm on wishfull ground for the old ATT One Center but truly think that it comes down to big corporation looking to gobble up some space away from the Coast and maybe that will be the surprise or say an opportunity to happen sooner rather later if debt holders can package a sale around social distancing .    

From a developer buying and piecemeal leasing arrangement perspective.   I have to admit as well that SC is right on.

Fortunately for downtown occupancy sake  the Met had a decent leasing run pre Covid.    Otherwise, numbers would probably look a lot uglier.

^How do we start a new news agency for our fair town to fill the void? Maybe some of that commercial vacancy.

St. Louis has a pretty impressive news agency in news.stlpublicradio.org.

I really haven't warmed to KWMU. Not sure why. Part of it, I suppose, is the simple fact that it's radio and I really don't care for listening to people talk at any length. But even reading their stuff on the internet they don't seem to have the quantity or quality of local news that the Post did back in its heyday. It's not bad, I suppose, but it's no replacement for a good daily paper. Do they even have editorial cartoons or funny pages? (To be fair, I have roughly the same feelings about channel 9. Though I have a sincere soft spot for all the Guggenheim documentaries.)

Could always restart one of the old German newspapers.

Merge NextSTL, CityScene, STL City Talk, Missouri Metro, Kirkwood Gadfly, and other small blogs and things and form one big group. I think in this case, it would be a formidable challenger to the Post and other standard publications in St. Louis.

We would have a good amount of content between us all too...

^That's not a bad idea.

Just asking: where did the VA move to?

Overland.

VA consolidating jobs - Downtown to lose 800 Jobs

Any idea who the ~76,000 square foot tenant at 500 N Broadway who renewed their lease is? Says "confidential" but thought I'd ask since some people on here are very knowledgeable.

Probably the federal reserve bank

It’s certainly possible
