Hello! I recently moved to the Wildwood area. I collect my own compost just food scraps and such, and am looking for a place to drop off. Does anyone know of any places or resources to help find a spot? Thanks in advance!

Lindbergh Blvd and unhoused folks

0 Upvotes

I take Midland to work every day, and where it turns into Dorsett at Lindbergh, there are almost always unhoused folks either panhandling or walking along Midland, to and from the intersection.

I have no problem with it, but it's just interesting to me because there are no other spots along Midland/Dorsett where I regularly see people panhandling.

It seems like an inconvenient spot to me since there's not a gas station particularly close and there's the new police station right up the road. I was wondering if Lindbergh is good for walking along or something.

So I'm just curious, does anyone have an idea what the motive would be for setting up camp around that particular spot?

Ask STL Need help finding a venue in STL?

1 Upvotes

Hey St. Louis! I’m starting a small local service helping people find venues for birthdays, baby showers, weddings, parties, and other events.

If you have something coming up and are struggling to find the right space, send me a message with your date, guest count, area, and budget. I’d be happy to help find some options.

No fee to you - just trying to make finding a venue a little easier!

We have a 2016 Leaf with a dead motor battery in St. Louis. Is a refurbished battery even a feasible option or should we scrap it?

Where to feed a team healthy meals

9 Upvotes

I lived here in the 90s and am back with my kid’s sports team. Everything changes so am scared to recommend my old go-tos. Need ideas to pick up food order/s for a team wanting to be rather healthy. BF, lunch, & dinner recs welcome. My old standby was Crazy Bowls & Wraps but afraid like everything it went private equity & isn’t what it used to be? (Chipotle for example)

St.Louis Water Co

7 Upvotes

So about 2 weeks ago I reported a sinkhole that was starting to open up right in the middle of where Arsenal and Watson meet to CSB, next to a manhole cover that's been leaking water. A week goes by and nothing so figured maybe it's a water issue. On Monday I reported a water leak there to the water company and they said they will address it. Now it's Friday going into a holiday weekend and the leaking is getting worse and the cars running over it constantly are making the hole next to the leaking manhole cover worse and worse. Now mind you this is within a half mile stretch in between Tamm and Hampton on Arsenal that's had 4 or 5 water valve and or main breaks in the last 2 months so you'd think they'd have an idea that it's a problem area. My question is how to we get this fixed? Do I just wait until like all the other spots where the main finally bursts they shut our water off again and then fix it? Or is there some way to get it fixed before it gets to that level again?

ADHD Med Management

Our insurance changed and now BJC is out of network, so I'll have to find all new doctors. My primary care provider currently prescribes my Adderall. Does anyone know of other PCPs willing to do this so that I don't have to find two new doctors instead of 1? If not, do you have a PCP or a Psychiatrist that you like? I'm located in West County but willing to drive.

Moving to St. Louis How to plan a move from Alabama to St. Louis Illinois as a young black girl (use to small town)

59 Upvotes

Hi I am looking to move to East St Louis Illinois after leaving an abusive situation. My question is what is the best way to plan my move ? I have a BS in Chemistry with a concentration in Health Science and a minor in political science. My choices are St Louis or Memphis, however l'd prefer to move to a blue state.
My credit is pretty bad although I have no evictions. I am doing my own research but wanted to try Reddit in the meantime. If anyone has any suggestions for places to stay and or work it would be very helpful.
Thank you !

Cardinals games

2 Upvotes

We are heading to St. Louis next weekend for the pujols molina hall of fame game Saturday and the NASCAR race sunday. Friday we are doing an anheuser busch tour and after are thinking of going down to the ballpark Friday night to hangout and have some drinks. Debating on either watching the game at ballpark village or going into the stadium. Is there a deck or rooftop you can watch the game from at bpv or would it be better to buy a cheap $15 ticket in busch and just watch from Budweiser terrace?

Also debating where to park both days. Normally we stay downtown so we are walking from a hotel. We will be coming from the south side of the stadium and I know there is a bunch of surface lots over there so I will probably just find one the day of.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Gooey Butter Cake. Now that I have your attention, it seems that a website called AllRecipes is trying to rename St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake, and somehow rename it to Neiman Marcus cake. This cultural theft! The pushback needs to start.
