And now we can’t even move funding away from police, even if we wanted to 🙃

Ugh, my shiny one just had to be a dude so I can’t evolve him

St. Louis repaves stretch of Kingshighway for second time in five months St. Louis City is resurfacing Kingshighway Boulevard between Penrose Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, even though that stretch of the road was resurfaced last fall.

The streets department was doing the northern half but apparently it was so bad it had to be redone and they’ve outsourced it ever since. If only we invested in staffing and training instead of contractors. fox2now.com/news/fox-fil...

Weather is looking good for Sunday’s Gravois walk audit. We’ll be finished by noon and before the heat of the day. If you were debating going, now is the time to commit. bit.ly/GravoisWalkA...

If I were a US adversary right now, I would see the US rapidly disarming itself. One bad variant would devastate the US because we will soon have no infrastructure to respond. We can be sure this is an invitation to both state and non-state actors to exploit this.

Judge seems hesitant to issue sanctions but open to threatening them.

(Note: I didn't call this a good strategy)

Info requested includes officer reports, texts, and Blue Teams evaluations. Some of this was only confirmed to be in existence through depositions where officers said too much.
The city is going to have a hard time prosecuting when police won't cooperate and that's likely part of the legal strategy

New update on the Bar:PM case - the court has granted a motion to compel, giving the state 10 days from today to disclose information. Police still haven't turned over certain records to the prosecutors for discovery and prosecutors failed to disclose it even existed.

‘You two are coming with me’: Man accused of kidnapping women from Tower Grove Park A man is accused of kidnapping two women from Tower Grove Park.

But this one is terrifying. From reading the probable cause statements, this incident actually happened first but the incident the next day is where they were able to detain the man. www.firstalert4.com/2025/08/05/y...

61-year-old arrested for brass knuckles attack in Tower Grove Park A 61-year-old was arrested this weekend for attacking people with brass knuckles in Tower Grove Park.

I heard some rumors of incidents in Tower Grove Park in St. Louis this past weekend and imagine my horror when I found not one, but two stories, by the same perpetrator. The first one is alarming enough... fox2now.com/news/missour...

1. Ask City to install traffic light

2. Hear traffic engineer explain why it “isn’t warranted” (not enough people using it)

3. Someone (or someone ELSE) is killed there

4. Traffic light finally installed

What @dylanreid.bsky.social calls the “Pedestrian Blood Sacrifice” in @spacing.bsky.social.

I feel like some of you need pet pictures to get through the day and I’m here to deliver.

Would love for just one day to feel like those organizations I pay to stick up for my profession would ever actually stick up for my profession.

Word count is my nemesis

HOW!?!?! How do they have any money?

Wait, another update. My husband just reported that the Schoemehl pots on Ohio just north of Hickory are gone. I never thought I'd see the day (and I haven't yet, but I'll be by to confirm he didn't just get lost on his bike)

"Decision makers are obviously sinking a lot of public funds into this single segment of infrastructure. But are we investing in the people or the users?" Take a read through this @stlbworks.bsky.social thread, and spread the word! This is a truly modest proposal. #STL

Oh dang, I haven't been by since I picked up my paralegal certificate 15 years ago. I should really check it out and see if men's and women's restrooms are still on separate floors.

I'm just waiting for the "Do Not Enter (My Butt)" series, brought to us by SW Garden neighborhood.

I was not expecting these installs and so I was pleasantly surprised to see the work being done. I love love love the new curb ramps too as the old ones were rough. The only puzzle is why the cones are still there on Park at Compton, is it to remind people not to hit it or is work still being done?

Rival speed hump defacements in Tower Grove East. A sure sign that school is starting soon. 🥰

I was just admiring the forms yesterday. Glad to see this!

Same on both counts! Now that the back area is cleared of equipment I hope that means full beautification is in progress.

Finally Enright in the Academy neighborhood saw its curbs cleared 🙌🏻
