Living in Dutchtown for 33 years on Meramec Street I never fully understood the home I renovated until watching this video. Well done all. I shared this with friends who still live in the city and have brick homes. Thank you.
I am 3 mins in and feel what she says so much. I do renovations and moved here for the old houses. The weathering is earned here and every house has a story
Amazing words by Sheila, I absolutely adored our city on my rides and walks, how the seasons showed me new details and color…. Even finding more interest in the graffiti on the neglected burned out brick beauties, shining a new light to someones past works that have seemingly been forgotten by the city and people.
So proud of your work on this. It’s a crime to let abandoned houses be set on fire by arsonists in order for demolition to be carried through and then bricks to be sold to other cities to build homes. How does this go unchecked for decades? Follow the money trail and how things are sold. Same with copper stripped and sold to scrap metal places. Same for architectural elements. How does this go unchecked? Is this the original documentary?
VERY AWESOME. Got home from the St Louis Zoo today and was looking for a historic St Louis documentary to watch as I was in the mood for some home town history. Very awesome find as I was not expecting a doc from a music page I subscribed to! Very awesome I love youre channels content!
Thanks! We produced this several years ago, and it's been on Amazon Prime for a long time. But we thought it would be nice to put it on here for a change and see what kind of audience it finds. We may be putting more documentary content here in the future.
I seen them in the 70 s stilling bricks in North St Louis when I was growing up, we lived on Tyler and 11th Street all of those buildings are gone now they would start fires first and then come back and take the bricks, and that's been happening all over North St Louis for a long time and now they are doing it in South St Louis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
