The Railway Exchange building in Downtown St. Louis was once where teenagers went to shop, cause trouble and awkwardly stand around. It used to be Famous-Barr’s flagship store. But in 2013, Macy’s closed its doors; last year the city condemned the building. Today, it is a nuisance property where young county teenagers go to experience the blight and decay of the City of St. Louis. Last week, I joined some of them. The building and its surrounding blocks had been featured in a damning Wall Street Journal story on the “doom loop” of Downtown St. Louis. The article caught a lot of hostile feedback on X and other social media platforms. As I stood nearby, camera held up to my face, a man in his late teens or early twenties called out to me, “Hey, have you ever taken pictures in this building?” He meant the Railway Exchange. “Want to go with us? We are going to the roof for the sunset.”
