~Do you have an interest in St. Louis City’s most unusual and interesting rehabs? ~Would you die for a behind-the-scenes look at what successful rehabbers have done to a building and how they did it? ~Are you a City living junkie that either owns or are looking to buy a City home or business, but you just don’t know where to start? ~Do you live in St. Charles, but you have a fascination with rehabbing or an interest in historic properties and would like to be a fly on the wall amongst the people who get down and dirty and make it happen? ReVitalize St. Louis is a group of Rehab and City living enthusiasts that promotes revitalization efforts in the City through education, idea exchanges, architectural tours, support of progressive civic projects, etc. They hold monthly meetings, e-forums, and mostly free classes, seminars, etc. for rehabbers to exchange ideas, and gain useful info. They conduct frequent behind-the-scenes architectural house and business tours of the most unique properties. I attend these periodically and I love them because the owners take you and a group of rehab junkies through their property and describe the entire undertaking of the project from start to finish. If you’ve never been, these are really interesting! They also sponsor a free Citywide house tour featuring for sale properties(The BIGBIG Tour). ReVitalize St. Louis began as a grassroots network of support for people interested in the revitalization of St. Louis’ neighborhoods through renovation and grew to be much more than that. As a nonprofit organization, they welcome anyone to join in. I believe membership is free. They’re also on Face-book.
