We returned to St. Louis for the third time to visit friends before heading west.

Me and my old pal, Sooze.

We were back in her driveway for a few days.

The pets were happy to spend time in the yard again.

And in the house.

We let Sooze put us to work.

Gypsy made herself right at home.

She helped with the packing.

And watched us pack up Sooze's daughter's room.

Sooze took this photo the last time she saw Gypsy.

We had lunch with Werner, my mom's old friend.

Werner bought this house in the 70s for $4,000.

Back then, almost all the houses on the block were boarded up.

Wener demonstrates the storm doors.

So many neighborhoods in St. Louis have fallen into complete disrepair.

Some abandoned, some still lived in.

Werner took a chance back then and went to work.

His house was just off Lafayette Square, which had once been so stately.

At that time, these houses had also been neglected or abandoned.

It was considered a bad neighborhood.

And people who could afford it fled to the suburbs.
