Drive down south Jefferson Avenue in St. Louis and you’ll notice the vacant St. Alexius Hospital, just south of Cherokee Street. Neighbors say the property has gone downhill quickly in the three years since it closed.
St. Louis Public Radio’s Sarah Fentem reports – people living in the Gravois Park neighborhood want someone to take action and clean up the former medical campus.
