To the Editor: Frank “Steve” McClendon Responds

December 1984

Historical December 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Dear Editor: I would like to respond to Mr. Delkeskamp’s letter in your November issue.

City Equity has asked me for an apology.

This is unfair.

The statements I made to Don Fitz were true at the time of the interview; City Equity hadn’t given me any money whatsoever.

By the time your paper was published, I had been reimbursed.

City Equity has been a thorn in my family’s side since they took over management at 321 Belt. First they raised our rent, then they sent notice that we had to move but they would relocate us. Relocate us they did, and also raised our rent again. Then just three months after we had moved, City Equity sent another notice saying we would have to move again. Still, we had not received relocation money from the first move.

The $620.00 I received could never compensate for the time we missed from our jobs, the gas we used, and the pressure of two moves in four months.

City Equity has pushed me from the neighborhood where I lived for 17 years— all the way to Maplewood, in St. Louis county.

Now who owes whom an apology, Mr. Delkeskamp? Frank “Steve” McClendon Former resident of Skinker-DeBaliviere
