GATEWAY TO AMERICA
AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF ST. LOUIS
By Kirsten N. Hammerstrom
A new history book, Gateway to America: An Illustrated History

New Orleans to its present day role as a center for businesses of
national and international significance. The book features many
of the photographs and illustrations from the extensive collections
of the St. Louis Mercantile Library and the St. Louis Public Library
as well as the work of contemporary St. Louis photographers.
Gateway to America also features “Partners in St. Louis,”
profiles of more than 80 historically significant companies and
organizations in the St. Louis Metropolitan area. Heritage Media
Corp. publishes Gateway to America for the St. Louis RCGA.
To obtain copies please contact Sarah Dashner at the St. Louis RCGA
Information Store in the lobby of the Metropolitan Square Building,

RCGA & ST. LOUIS COMMERCE MAGAZINE PARTNER WITH ULI ON
MARCH 13 “INVESTMENTS IN PROGRESS” SYMPOSIUM
The RCGA and St. Louis Commerce Magazine are partnering with
the Urban Land Institute (ULI) District Council of St. Louis to
present a half-day morning program entitled Investments in Progress—Make
a Deal, Make a Difference in the Urban Core, on Thursday, March
13, from 7:30 a.m. to noon at the Chase Park Plaza’s Khorassan Room.
This program, which is an outgrowth of a year-long research report
commissioned by Civic Progress, will focus on market-oriented investment
opportunities and development strategies for the urban core of the
St. Louis metro area.
Case studies of successful development, roundtables at which participants
can learn more about existing opportunities, and exhibit booths
will be featured at the symposium, which is patterned after a highly
successful similar event held by the ULI last year in Los Angeles.
Private developers, investors, lenders, brokers, planners, architects,
attorneys, accountants, community leaders, and local government
officials will be among those attending.
The March issue of St. Louis Commerce will feature a special
cover story on project-specific St. Louis area urban investment
and development opportunities.
For more information about the Investments in Progress program
on Thursday, March 13, contact RCGA Vice President for Economic
Development Linda Leonard at (314) 444-1138, or e-mail
