2 years 5 months ago
A University City Mexican restaurant is making the best of a bad situation. In the early hours of Tuesday morning, two individuals in dark clothes smashed the front door of Diego's Cantina (630 North and South Road, University City) and stormed in to rob the place. They failed to get away with much cash, but Diego's took the unfortunate situation and turned it into a pretty fun video set to the music of Notorious B.I.G.

Wood River Voters Should Be Informed and Decide on Cannabis Dispensary

2 years 5 months ago

No. Did they survey business neighbors? No. Why did they rush this through? Our families and businesses deserve to have input. Wood River deserves better.
