A few years ago St. Louis experienced some high profile arson fires. In April 2006 a condo project under construction on South Grand was totally destroyed. Then in June 2006 two separate projects in Lafayette Square were torched. A year later, to the day, an arsonist destroyed an apartment complex under construction. All but one were rebuilt, finished and have been occupied for a while.

The other day I noticed the last of the damaged buildings going up on Mississippi Ave. . It is nice to see this hole facing Lafayette Park get filled in.
