\u201cIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times.\u201d<\/p>\n

That opening line from Charles Dickens\u2019s \u201cTale of Two Cities\u201d could apply to the fortunes of downtown Ferguson since its early beginnings as a burgeoning suburb of shops and upscale homes after Charles Ferguson sold some of his farmland with the promise of locating a Wabash rail station in the early 1850s. The commercial and residential growth was steady until a fire in 1895 gutted the business district.<\/p>\n

The subsequent rebuilding went on until 1925.\u00a0 Another resurgence occurred in the 1950s as businesses began catering to the increasingly car-crazy populace.\u00a0 And after yet another slump, today the area is enjoying a vibrant renewal as restaurants and independent shops are sprouting all along the main corridor of S. Florissant Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some great entrepreneurs in our area.\u00a0 And new businesses are coming to\u00a0look at our downtown as the place to be,\u201d said City Manager John Shaw of Ferguson for over four years.\u00a0\u00a0 This started nearly ten years ago, \u201cbut we have had vision plans developed and working well before that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaw was quick to point out that even with the best of plans, it took the efforts of independent merchants and volunteers to bring about what can be seen as an-inner suburb renaissance.<\/p>\n

One such person is Joe Lonero who\u00a0 has long been a prime mover and shaker in the Ferguson area.\u00a0 His auto body shop has been in the area for over 35 years and he has had his hand in several restaurants, shops and residential enterprises which are going a long way towards changing the face and future of the downtown district.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can look up and down this street and see that Joe has had a piece of most of what\u2019s going on here,\u201d said Joe\u2019s son Mike Lonero, as we sat at the sidewalk seating outside Cork Wine Bar. The younger Lonero owns and operates Cork as well and the longer-established Vincenzo\u2019s Italian Ristorante nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can look up and down this street and see that Joe has had a piece of most of what\u2019s going on here,\u201d said Joe\u2019s son Mike Lonero, as we sat at the sidewalk seating outside Cork Wine Bar. The younger Lonero owns and operates Cork as well and the longer-established Vincenzo\u2019s Italian Ristorante nearby.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, he not only had the ideas, he did the actual build-outs for these and a lot of the places you see.\u00a0 Hammer to nail stuff, doing it himself.\u201d\u00a0 He told the story of Joe wandering over to check out a public auction of the old St. John\u2019s Liquor store and coming out owning the building.\u00a0 It now houses the Ferguson Brewing Company, the restaurant and micro-brewery that is selling it\u2019s draft beer around the city and will soon be set up to market a bottled brand of its many brews.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe bought the brewing equipment sight unseen, drove out to Colorado to get it, rented a truck and driver and brought it back.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t know a thing about it, but with help from some expert brewers, he put it together and it\u2019s working fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others willing to take the chance on Ferguson have seen similar success.\u00a0 Kelly and Martin Braun have located their remodeled and expanded Marley\u2019s Bar and Grill in the former Golden Greeks site.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all Joe Lonero\u2019s fault,\u201d said Kelly Braun with a laugh.\u00a0 \u201cWe were having dinner at Vincenzo\u2019s and Joe said \u2018Hey, you should buy that place.\u2019\u00a0 And so we did. \u00a0Things are going great.\u201d<\/p>\n

But private enterprise is only part of the story of the changing scene in Ferguson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been able to use some TIF approaches to get infrastructure improvements, with much spent on roads, decorative street lamp lighting and small business grants,\u201d noted city manager Shaw.\u00a0 \u201cA TIF can sometimes be seen as a bad word, but in this case, the businesses themselves help support the grants, and it only makes it that much better for them when a successful tenant comes in. The mayor, James Knowles, and the council members have also been very helpful in zoning and with other supports as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then there is the \u201cPlaza at 501\u201d, located at the south end of the district, a completely \u201cgreen\u201d development, with state-of-the-art paving surface and \u00a0self-sustainable landscaping, that has been a focal point for many music and community festival events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using \u201cCity Walk\u201d as a brand concept, the city has effectively established a pedestrian-friendly ten-block downtown area, with The Farmer\u2019s Market is in the Victoria Plaza at the North end of the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaren Noelker coordinates that huge job, with the many farmers and other venders,\u201d said Shaw.\u00a0 He also noted the coming new fire station complex next to the police department, to be ready for use in late 2012.<\/p>\n

Add the Savoy Banquet Center owned by the Faramarzi family, the annual Ferguson 5-K run, the Northern Lights Celebration in December, the recently-held \u201cBetter Block Project\u201d and the \u201cLive Well Ferguson Twilight Ramble\u201d set for\u00a0 Sunday, Nov. 6, to a wide variety of shops, bakeries, eateries and historical sights, and it\u2019s easy to see why the downtown Ferguson is becoming a destination for all ages.<\/p>\n

John Shaw sums it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur main focus is to continue to support our entrepreneurs and seek new ones, while still promoting the idea of people moving into our beautiful stock of homes, and also expanding the rental availability. We have some fine new lofts and apartments (which according to Mike Lonero, are at 100% occupancy), and would like to move in that direction as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another writer, Bob Dylan, may have said it best with respect to Ferguson\u2019s future. \u201cThe times, they are a\u2019changin\u2019.<\/p>\n

And, for Ferguson, it seems the best of these times are on the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
