In Downtown St. Louis, author NiNi Harris follows the evolution of Downtown St. Louis from colonial days when French traders and craftsmen planted maize on the prairies that stretched from 4th Street west to Jefferson Avenue to millennials and empty nesters living in castle-like warehouses converted into 21st century lofts.
