Lost another light pole on Manchester in The Grove. Will the CID replace it? By my count we’re up to four light poles taken out by cars that have not been replaced: - Near Chico Bueno - Interectuon at Kentucky - Near Sauce on the Side - Near Dogwood

Do feel like Vandeventer got the short end of the Tower Grove Connector planning stick 🫠 Here we have an atrocious 35ft long curb cut, half for a business that already has access to Vandeventer via a side street (second photo).

Love the Tower Grove Connector. Disappointed that Vandeventer’s paths are concrete-covered while all Tower Grove Ave gets tree lawns and landscaping.

In case anyone ever wanted an example of why color temperature (Kelvins) and brightness (lumens) are important when it comes to street lighting. The left side has low Kelvin and low lumen. The right side has high Kelvin/high lumen.

Night time view of a street intersection. The street lamp in the left has a warm glow that reflects softly on the surrounding homes. The street lamp on the right is a glaring white, casting harsh shadows on the apartment next to it.

New TierPoint data center in Downtown West looks like hell w/ permanently boarded-up street level. Was praised by Mayor Jones & Greater STL in 2024. A prominent apartment developer made a competing offer to buy the bldg but data center's offer won since they could close the deal faster

56 FPSE neighborhood litter pick-up events. Over 7 years. Totaling 100+ hours. Resulting in 400+ bags of trash. Big impact starts local.

Ameren Missouri is courting AI data centers by building new power plants and offering them lower bulk electric rates, but their unprecedented energy demands could drive up everyone’s electricity bills...

My annual report- My bus still sucks with 1 hr frequency and the route still ruined. The Metrolink gates suck and are demeaning. This atrocious bus stop, among many, endures 7 years after the construction that moved it finished. Homicidal drivers still run rampant.

I wanted to see the progress myself around the NGA. Cass is being repaved just around the NGA for its ribbon cutting. The sidewalks across the street are missing at best. A public road is closed because it goes past McKee’s failed “hospital” and its 4 security vehicles, and nature has taken over.

All of this outrageous crap is orchestrated to keep the outrage up and make us crazy, divided and paralyzed, distracting from the issues and scandals. Offensive as it is, it only has power if we react to it, and we will fix it.

Sad day as a family-frequented neighborhood park in FPSE was disassembled for what may be a “better use” on paper. Emphasizes the need for Chouteau Park to pull more weight in drawing neighbors together. Those plans in the works, but currently seeking community donors to finalize conceptual plans.
