abandoned buildings -- The downtown area is filled with abandoned old buildings which really could have a lot of potential. As the "McMansions" of the suburbs eventual loose their attractiveness, and people begin to desire a more urban, convenient location, hopefully these buildings can be renovated.
decentralization -- In the "out-migration" that occurred with the addition of more counties, St. Louisans left behind a lot of city culture and connection to their city. There is now a divide between the counties and the city area which causes a lot of tension, especially because of the stereotypes projected on each one.
chains vs locally owned businesses -- Locally owned business tend to give back to the community. They can provide jobs and also directly affect the St. Louis economy and environment. Supporting more local businesses will help create a better atmosphere within St. Louis and also help boost the economy.
