Imagine St. Louis City trying to do this for Soulard Mardi Gras. smdh
City officials surprised vendors at Chicago’s most popular holiday market by imposing new crowd restrictions just hours before it opened last Friday.

St. Louis City Fail
My guess is that Gateway South ends up looking more like the $500M industrial park that replaced Chrysler in Fenton, but with 90% tax abatement 🤑

Gregg Bovino should be in jail or at least involuntarily committed as dangerous to others until he is mentally well enough to stand trial for his crimes. He is a menace to public safety.

#TransparencyFail No Way To Run A Govt #395680

$72,000 a year St. Louis City Alders rubberstamp corporate welfare-- refuse to adequately vet developer/investor boards or address absurd amounts of incentives- allow developers to pocket money that should be going to public schools and City services.
Catching up with the Nov. 21 meeting of the St. Louis Board of Aldermen.

The BOA voted to confirm the mayor’s appointments to the #4101LacledeCID board, without referral to committee.

The 4 new board members are condominium owners. Board Pres. Mark Breihan is an original investor in #4101Laclede

Good morning. Here's some colorful, cheery 🌱 pansies to brighten up our cold, wet weekend. These are at the end of cauliflower bed covered in plastic when it freezes and blankets during prolonged freeze. But yesterday they were enjoying low 40s and sun.

Good evening. My ornamental cabbage is not doing very well. Colorful but also sickly. May have been the big piles of wild rabbit poop that I cleaned out when we got back from Minnesota. Rabbit poop doesn't need curing but there was a lot in this bed, maybe too much manure goodness.
