A former teen takeover happened yesterday in Lakeview and I’m not seeing it reported anywhere. The alderman needs to place a curfew on those 25 and up and ask CPD to do bag checks for running shoes at the LFT.
Some things I've learned about legislative advocacy, and I think my record speaks for itself. 1. Start by asking for everything you want. Stop preemptively negotiating against yourself. The process of passing the bill will whittle it down. Why started with a whittled down product?
I kinda feel like throwing a midweek pizza party, the 90s way with big 2L generic colas breadsticks and pizza. Toss in some disco… I might even make sherbet punch.
I want to make a Myers Briggs personality test for the 5 key carbs: BREAD CORN NOODLE POTATO RICE and a L/M/H ranking for CARB ENTHUSIASM intensity which indicates your overall desire for carbs. My personality is PBNRC-H

Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%

A random sampling of things that are better today than 40 years ago: 1. Records. I love records. And a lot that I buy used are thin, almost floppy, definitely cheaply made. (I love them! They sound great!) When I buy a new record, though, it's probably a 180-gram thing of perfectly-mastered beauty.

The old Ann Sather building in Lakeview (Broadway) should be redeveloped into a condo tower
Just spotted a CPD officer playing on phone, in his patrol car, and parked in a bus stop. We need a 1000 more of these, folks.
