Julie in STL

I wish the local media would treat him as the washed up con man who relied on indentured servitude that he is

I still have a lotttttt of questions about Pulte’s activity In North St. Louis www.stltoday.com/news/local/m...

a man and a woman are standing next to each other and the woman is wearing a blue dress Alt: a man and a woman are standing next to each other and the woman is wearing a blue dress, a scene from the movie Chicago where Rosie is being used as a ventriloquist dummy

Today’s contracting strategy: creating definitions for undefined terms to distract from the fact that I’m making every term more favorable to us. It’s a classic technique for a reason and if you send me an agreement with fixed numbering instead of a listed numbering, I will assume you’ll fall for it

It is! These are from the rectory side from an open house in May.

Yes! Your accounts are the best and I learn so much from you. We might have our issues with the city but we also fiercely defend it when it’s unfairly maligned.

I’m usually a bit more normal here but I am indeed one and the same.

Already seeing lots of pivots in the food industry and that usually waits till the new year. It’s going to be brutal. Part of why I put in my apple fritter order for Donut Drive In yesterday, gotta support those I love.

A very old toilet that is taped shut with “do not use” written on the tape

Two toilets in a rectory with stalls. Both are old and taped shut

A toilet in the smallest bathroom in the world

Posting about the toilets the pope may have used over on IG lost me 1 follower but gained me 3 so my work here is done. I try to keep the speedhumpme account a mix of pedestrian advocacy, history, fun facts, curiosity, and (as the name suggests) the rough or crude parts of the city.

Democrat’s firing has big stakes for Missouri law—and her political career A court ruling issued last month is raising concerns about judicial independence in Missouri—even as it could cause trouble for a prominent Democrat running for the Missouri Senate.  The ruling was a ...

It should come as no surprise that Kelly Group/Show Me Victories is running anti-abortion, pro racist/misogynist police union Steve Butz's campaign for Mo Senate. It's important for Civic Progress (rebranded Greater St Louis) to get a pro-colonization, MAGA friendly state senator for St Louis City.

I’m surprised no one has spotted their other attempts to shed assets for their other various entities www.thegellmanteam.com/property-sea...

Vendors have been recovering their equipment from the former The Last Hotel all week. Does this portend a new plan for the historic building?

Centennial Church members say goodbye to tornado-stricken building, but keep ministries alive Centennial Christian Church in Fountain Park will be demolished in the next few weeks. It’s one of the worship centers in north St. Louis that was destroyed by the May tornado.

Centennial Christian Church is saying goodbye to its tornado-damaged building but not its mission.

Members and pastors gathered to honor 102 years of ministry and look ahead to rebuilding in Fountain Park.

I confess - Wabada Wednesday research has taken a wild turn. It went from cabinet and furniture makers to a high school elopement and dramatic divorce. This singular home may have given me the most interesting research since the female undertaker I found.

Nice segment on holiday help for SLPS Students in Transition.

Creve Coeur approves potential use of eminent domain for sidewalk project The Creve Coeur City Council has approved the potential use of eminent domain to build a sidewalk on a busy residential road.

Oh sure, choose a street I haven’t walked! 😉 I guess I need to break out Wabada Wednesday.

I was supposed to be reviewing corporate insurance policies this afternoon but now I need to carve out time for researching this. You can’t just drop a new tunnel on me and expect me to be normal.

That and the Chippewa ones are the best examples but then there’s the pedestrian viaduct walkways like at Gravois that used to be open, or the one near the Ivory triangle that remains open.

I’ve been gathering so much research on this and I feel like a simple IG post is never going to do it justice but I hate making videos but also the people do not know the viaduct lore and we can’t let our history be forgotten!

It’s even weirder to me the properties that still haven’t seen an increase, or some that don’t seem to know there’s a house on the property. The entire system just feels so haphazard.

Blue St. Lou?

Why have I never thought of using blackwork as a background? That's so lovely!

Based on what I've seen of the bridge on my walks, I'm pretty sure those "humps" are the only thing holding the bridge together. Why there isn't a news story on the BPS failure to get bridge construction started is wild to me.

Ended up getting Bud's today just because of this post. It had been a minute since I'd last had them.

It’s Compton Heights leaf cleanup day and you should just avoid the entire neighborhood. It’s the most chaotic day of the year every year and you’d think I’d just stay home but I never learn.

The new Olivette one! I had to be in the county and decided to treat myself to an ✨experience✨
