As the last golden hour ends for these storied properties on Kingshighway, let’s go down memory lane of Drury’s and Lux Living’s demolition by neglect. The buildings’ condition belied the massive investment in the neighborhood behind. Over $340M in building permits have been issued since 2007 when Drury started buying up properties. A proposal by NorthPoint to build an apartment building is being considered right now. There is a meeting tonight Tuesday, February 20, 6:45 pm at the Missouri Foundation for Health 4254 Vista Ave.
