Dear List Members, I am visiting St. Louis for a few days in June and I hope to take as many pictures as I can of the houses my family lived in prior to 1960. I haven't been to some of these addresses since the 1950s and I don't know if the neighborhoods are considered safe. Is anyone familiar with these address to know whether it would be safe to take pictures during the day? 1723 North 13th Street 4281 Farlin Avenue 2038 East Gano Avenue 1315 Sullivan Avenue 4212 St. Louis Avenue 5532 Robin Avenue 8617 Mora Lane 4608 Pope Avenue 4137a West Kossuth Avenue Thank you, Jim in Florida __________________________________ Yahoo!

I have never actually been to St. Louis so I don't know if my advice would be the best but here it is anyways. I would go during the day because that is always safer than the night. I would also bring copies of any older pictures you have of the house. Then knock on the doors and let the people living there now know who you are and give them the copies for their own enjoyment and to show that you aren't a lunatic. Then ask them if they mind if you take a photo of their house. That is what I always do. I have had some even invite me inside to take photos of the rooms. I usually decline that though for safety reasons. Most people are always interested in seeing old pictures and hearing stories of their houses. In fact I am in contact with several people who live in houses my ancestors used to. ----- Original Message ----- From: James Weisheyer<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 07, 2005 11:03 PM Subject: [MO-STLOUIS-METRO] Housing in St. Louis Dear List Members, I am visiting St. Louis for a few days in June and I hope to take as many pictures as I can of the houses my family lived in prior to 1960.
