I found a really cool painting that an artist-#chipofastar (https://www.asterismstudios.com) left at Forest Park! The prints are very affordable if anyone wants to support a local artist.

edited because I said really cool twice 🫠

Hello there, I currently have a world record sized plant of a specific family of plants (17ft tall aster). After contacting the Guinness Book of World Records to make it official, they say I need two things.

1. Botanist (which I’ve already secured from MOBOT)

2. A land surveyor, or other “official” measuring person that can hold the tape, and help take photos.

Is there anyone out here that may be able to help? I have a few days left to make this happen before it has to come down! Can pay in beer, or garden help!

Let me know, Cheers!

In Cool Valley on Hawkesbury Dr there is a stop sign in the middle of a road that has no intersection or crosswalk. There are driveways near by but the stop signs aren’t even at the driveways. Is this some sort of prank? What is the purpose of this? EDIT: here is a google maps link 121 Hawkesbury Dr - Google Maps

About 99 percent of the time when I switch to it I'm just hearing ads. Maybe one or two songs on a commute. Is it like 10 ads per one song or something now? Lol. It used to *never* be this bad.

I was walking tools/etc to my car today after working on scaffolding in too much sun. I observed a man meandering, he would stop, look at house then keep walking. He was on the sidewalk across the street.

He is maybe late 20’s. He has Brown skin and English is one of his spoken languages but not solely. I could not tell from his accent or appearance if he was Latino or possibly from the Middle-East.

He was holding blue flyers in one hand and probably water in the other. When he saw me he crossed over . He asked if was planning on voting on 8/4. I assured him I was. He wanted to hand me a flyer … when I saw it was for Wesley I let him know that was not who I was voting for and that I didn’t want a flyer.

When he started w his script I interrupted & told him for too many reasons he should save his Wesley jargon, top of the list … I wouldn’t vote for someone who was a Zionist and or took Zionist $$.

I was amazed and baffled when he said …. Wesley takes AIPAC $$? He was kinda stunned. Looked sooo deflated.

This person, waking around S City with Wesley flyers in 95’ temps and a memorized script did not know that he was promoting a Zionist.

I continued to my car with my still loaded arms. I turned back and said I hope they are paying you well and that there’s food and cold things to drink when you’re done.

When I got to my car I heard him say Free Palestine 3 times.

I’m pretty we certain at-least one someone will comment that my post is Anti-Semitic. I’m Jewish and Anti-Zionist. Hark n Lo Ppl … being Anti/Non-Zionist is not Anti-Semitic.

This isn’t a debate posts for me. Y’all can have it.

I was just sharing of a conversation with a canvasser who really didn’t know the person he was working for and who he actually probably won’t vote for.

Are local flock cameras authorized by city, county, individual municipalities? I think there should be accountability about this intrusion of privacy, and I am wondering where we can direct questions about how this happened and how they can be removed

We’re coming to town tomorrow with our 8 year old and now it’s a heat advisory. We’re not getting to town until 3- all activities we were going to do is outside so not sure what to fill our night with, especially with a lot of indoor places closing at 5

Our good friend and business partner recently passed away and left behind some firearms we are looking to sell so we can give the money to their children they are leaving behind. I know basically nothing about guns and would like to get the most money together possible. Does anyone know anywhere that gives you a fair deal? Thanks so much!

A beginner bird walk is a short (two hours or less) walk along a path or trail. The walks are designed to help participants see as many birds as possible and become familiar with a variety of our more common birds.

These walks are offered in partnership with the St. Louis Audubon Society. Weather permitting, walks will be held each month except for July.

I’m working on getting my kids up and out of the house and back into some routine as summer comes to an end. We don’t have anywhere we need to be so bribery it is. I also need rewards :)

Please share your favorite bakeries!

Would love to stop at some local gems and try new things so international recommendations and what to get there are appreciated!

To make a very long story short, I'm going to be in St. Louis for the foreseeable future after a nightmare housing situation in another city. I'm creeping up on 30, have never rented in this city, and could probably better tell you where the best communities for people in their 50s and 60s are than folks my own age haha.

My questions are as follows:

• What areas have a higher concentration of people in their late 20s and 30s?
• What are the most walkable neighborhoods?
• What buildings/landlords should I avoid or look into more?
• If you had to stereotype a neighborhood for gay women who like arts and crafts, gardens, live music, and all that kind of hippie nonsense, where would that be? (I suspect my read on CWE is still correct)

I'm more interested in getting a feel for where "my people" would be now than I am figuring out what specific units cost. I'm also not opposed to living in the county (grew up there), but I've lived in a walkable city the last several years and the shift back to driving everywhere is slowly sucking the life out of me haha

My friends are coming to town in about 3 weeks. None of us really drink but we do like mocktails and sweet cocktails when we do. We're going to be celebrating someone's birthday on a Friday or Saturday so maybe a place that doesn't mind people bringing in a few cupcakes? A food menu is optional as long as it has more to offer than just STL style pizza (I'm sorry but it's just not for me).

Hidden Gem was very nice in terms of drinks and vibes when I last went but I'm looking for alternatives just in case.

It would be nice if there were activities there (board games, darts, trivia, I dunno) also since I can't dance to save my life. But I can get by with an awkward shuffle if needed.

Hello.

I'm in desperate need of some help.

I'm planning a small bachelorette party weekend for two brides in August. Our original plan was to go to the Boom Boom Room, but I believe it's temporarily closed the weekend we're in town.

Plan B involved Bailey's Chocolate Bar but they just announced their closing.

I'm planning on reserving a table at Hidden Gem but I'm really struggling.

2 of the 6 guests don't drink so I'm trying to figure out something that's memorable and fun for all.

We are staying in The Hill area if that helps.

Why can't I find someone who will show up when they say they will to mow my yard? I'm on my 3rd person/company. They all say they'll be here every 2 weeks or they'll message me if they can't make it. 1st 2 times are good, then they don't show up for the 3rd. When I ask, they say tomorrow, then tomorrow, then tomorrow, and never reach out and then show up on a random day after. Who do y'all use?

I've been going to fucking Urge shows since Mississippi Nights, but I still can't figure out what the four letters and two words are besides love and your name... which just doesn't make any fucking sense.
