The move comes nearly a year after Board of Aldermen President Megan Green sued over the state takeover of the police department.

Tornando damage on Brentwood Blvd. It was insane.

Was out at a vet appointment when the tornando came through clayton and st louis. Had to backtrack 4 or 5 times to find a street not blocked with downed trees. Started on Skinker and had to drive all the way to Brentwood blvd to get south of 64. Took us 2 hours to get from skinker & Lindell to tower grove

Any recommendations for mobile vets who operate in StL city?
3 points | 0 comments
I live in the Tower Grove area and need to find a mobile vet. My dog gets incredibly stressed every time we take him to our normal (but fantastic) vet so we want to try getting him checked at home.
Every place I’ve called tells me they only operate in st Charles or st Peter’s (despite saying all over their website that they serve st louis) or say they don’t have mobile vet services at all. Since I can’t trust these places’ own sites I’m kind of at a loss for where to look.
Are there any places you use/know of that you recommend?

It was a really good turn out, I was really encouraged. I was afraid I would be the only one there. I heard these usually happen around noon Saturday at any dealership, so make a sign and go to one! It hits Elon the only place he cares about, the wallet.

Target: St. Louis

Not sure if this has been posted but i finally saw it.
TARGET ST. LOUIS Vol. 1© tells the story of how the United State Military conducted secret chemical testing on citizens of St. Louis’s Northside. Told through the eyes of the survivors who bravely share their experiences of being unwitting test subjects. Long before the current scandal of lead poisoning of the water supply of Flint, Michigan, the United States Army conducted secret experiments on unknowing residents of northern St. Louis using toxic chemicals. The predominantly African American residents of northern St. Louis are the focus of this film. “Target: St Louis Vol. 1” shares their disturbing story of how these Cold War experiments occurred and the film examines the actions of the US Military that extended beyond the guarantees of public safety promised to US citizens by the Constitution.

Leave your car, grab your bike, and roll with us to the CITY SC game! 🚲⚽
6 points | 0 comments
The St. Louis Urbanists are starting a Bike Bus for home CITY games! It’s a fun, healthy, and eco-friendly way to get to CITYPARK.
We take off from Amsterdam Tavern 75 minutes before kickoff, picking up folks along the route, and returning along the same route after the final whistle. All bikes and skill levels are welcome – we try to maintain a 9-12 mph pace on low-traffic streets and we’ll use the bike trail from Scott Ave to CITYPARK, which just finished construction last month.
Meet new people, get some exercise, save money, and show your CITY pride!
Check our Meetup page for all the details: www.meetup.com/stlurbanists/events/301296475/
