ST. LOUIS – It seems like it's back to square one for downtown's Railway Exchange Building, formerly Famous Barr. The historic building was condemned nine months ago after being ravaged by squatters and looters.They have returned, cutting their way through boarded-up windows and doors. There were open entry points on all four sides of the building as of Wednesday.“Every day I see them stealing wire, copper, every morning. I get my coffee, just looking over, it’s crazy,” said Jerome Young, who lives across the street.That craziness stopped for a few months, he said, when the building’s Florida owners hired on-site security. They stopped paying for it a couple of months ago and here we go again: A city crew was boarding up the same hole Wednesday that they boarded up nine months ago. Close Thanks for signing up!

ST. LOUIS – The current housing market is a mixed bag. From home prices to inventory, potential buyers and sellers are wondering where they stand.
