Yes, he acknowledged, business is down significantly. But Staley has a leathery determination: scuffed by hard times, but durable.

“I love the Downtown area,” he said. “I love my customers, and I really would hate to leave, because at 47 years old, it would be like starting over.”

It's cleared all the way along Rich to Third Street now, and the pit looks quite deep when you see all four floors of the mall exposed like this.

Rich Street.  It would be a lot more inviting to open it to the main artery of the city.  It would also be great if they did something along the lines of <a href="http://www.citygardenstl.org/">Citygarden</a> in St. Louis and turned the space into an outdoor sculpture park.
