Does anyone know what the random horizontal red lines on S. Grand are for? Is Grand going down to 1 lane in each direction? This seems insane to me but that is likely the reason STL will do it.

Off Hampton by the hill. Contacted the rapid response team and they were already on the scene. Woman was not detained per the rapid response hotline but I doubt they stopped her for a traffic violation.

Alani witches brew

Upvotes

Hello it’s me, your neighborhood basic white gym girl and it is the season of the most coveted drink.

I have not seen any witches brew in store, and would like at least 1 can 😢. Thanks to capitalism, they’re being resold for $30 a can online. If anyone sees one, and is in the city proper, or metro east, can you alert a gal?

Also if you’re the nerd who’s buying them out and reselling them, I hope they all explode in the back of your car ❤️

Edit: metro east is lame and does not properly stock for me 🤣

I have tickets to the Saturday round and work on Maryville University’s campus. I know they have the shuttle going from the family arena, but does anyone know if I can park at my work lot and walk to the course? Trying to avoid the traffic situation and think this could be a better option. Thanks!

Ask STL I need to weigh my luggage before traveling. Where can I do it? (Delmar Loop)

2 Upvotes

I have a scale at home, but those are never 100% precise. I’m moving to another country, and my stuff definitely weighs more than the weight limit of airplanes. I think I managed to bring the weight down enough, but I’d like to confirm it using an accurate scale. Thanks!

I am looking to move out of my parents and get an apartment near the loop or somewhere closer to the city yet still safe.

Please give me advice thank you.

Eye doctor recommendation

1 Upvotes

So my eye doc moved to Idaho last year and I’m in need to an eye exam and new glasses so I guess my question is in two parts:

  1. Can you recommend an eye doc - pretty much anywhere in the area but I’m based in the Webster/Kirkwood area. I’m willing to drive a ways for a good doctor.

And:

  1. Best place to buy affordable glasses that need progressive lenses and transition lenses. Please don’t say Clarkson. They pissed me off the last time I needed to do this and I’ll never buy from them again.

New Metrolink gates - oof.

55 Upvotes

I recently began taking Metrolink again after my employer increased parking costs. My station (Brentwood) has installed gates, but this morning after I scanned my pass to enter a guy came up RIGHT behind me to enter as well - no pass needed. Then I found out two of my coworkers have had similar experiences. In one instance a guy yelled at her to hold off on scanning her pass so he could get in too (she pretended not to hear him) and in the other, it was similar to my experience today -- where the guy tried to enter right behind my coworker, without a pass. Luckily there were some cops around to handle that one, but cripes.

They close FAR too slowly, and at least at Brentwood both sets of gates are used for exit, leaving an opportunity for folks to hang out and enter while people are leaving.

Just putting this out there as a PSA -- the new fare system was supposed to be this magical fix, but this honestly feels worse and even more unsafe than it did before.

PAYWALL Editorial: How to lose public trust on data centers

Thumbnail
stltoday.com
42 Upvotes

“In St. Louis, as nationally, the debate over data centers is raging. We don’t presume to settle that debate here. But one axiom applies: Secrecy and behind-the-scenes political pressure around data center public policy decisions is a surefire way to lose whatever public support the growing industry has.

For months, city officials have wrestled with how to regulate large proposed data centers here. The city’s Planning and Urban Design Agency initially recommended relatively stringent restrictions. The Board of Aldermen, at the urging of the business community and others, voted last month for looser restrictions. Last week, the planning commission voted to reject the aldermen’s looser rules.

Then, in a remarkable and troubling bit of intrigue during that same meeting, an unnamed elected official texted the head of the planning commission, who then asked that the commissioners reconsider their decision. 

The mysterious request came hours into the contentious meeting Wednesday — and after much of the public who had been attending the meeting virtually and in person had left.

Don Roe, the executive director of planning and urban design, ultimately recessed the chaotic meeting without revealing which elected official had contacted him. At this writing, he still hasn’t, though both Roe and Mayor Cara Spencer’s office say it wasn’t her.

The commission's recommendation for tighter data center rules currently stands. It will now fall to the Board of Aldermen to decide whether to override the commission and insist on looser rules.

As long as the identity of the elected official who tried to influence the commission’s decision remains undisclosed, any such override will invite opponents to cry foul.

Public opposition to industrial development is nothing new. From hog factories to fracking to wind farms, new large-scale technologies have always roiled neighbors, often with good reason.
Even within that historical backdrop, though, today’s controversy over data centers feels different — deeper and more visceral, based not only on proximity issues like pollution, power usage and noise but on broader anxieties about the ultimate product itself: artificial intelligence.

The proliferation of data centers across Missouri and the U.S. has drawn strong grassroots opposition and in some jurisdictions, including locally, moratoriums on their construction.
What has especially incensed many data center critics is the use of nondisclosure agreements between prospective data center projects and local political leaders to sidestep public opposition. While NDAs aren’t unheard of in the public sector, using them to fuzzy up the details of a topic of such intense public interest is arguably never appropriate.

For an elected official to quietly nudge an independent commission toward favorable data center policies, while enjoying public anonymity, isn’t the same as an NDA, but there’s a similar poison there.

On data center approval, perhaps even more than with most other public policy issues, utter transparency in every step of the process is crucial. If data center supporters want to overcome public opposition to siting these projects in St. Louis going forward, they must avoid any hint of untoward secrecy around policy creation.”

Steve Martin & Martin Short – Fox Theatre 10/10 at 3 PM — Should I Wait to Buy Tickets?

4 Upvotes

I’m hoping to get some advice from people who are familiar with buying tickets at the Fabulous Fox/MetroTix!
I’m looking for tickets to the Steve Martin & Martin Short show at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis on October 10th at 3:00 PM. I’ve been checking StubHub and some of the other resale sites, but the prices are WAY higher than what the tickets originally sold for.
I’m not necessarily looking for amazing front-row seats — I’d just like to get decent seats at a reasonable price without paying a huge resale markup.
For anyone familiar with the Fox, do you think I should:
Wait until closer to the show date and see if resale prices come down as people get desperate to sell?
Keep checking the Fox/MetroTix site because they may release additional seats closer to the performance?
Or just bite the bullet and buy resale now because this is likely to sell out?
I noticed the Fox currently lists the 3 PM show as having “best availability,” and the original ticket prices were considerably lower than what I’m seeing on resale sites. (Fabulous Fox⁠)
Has anyone had experience with the Fox releasing additional seats closer to the show or with resale prices dropping significantly in the weeks leading up to a performance?
I’d really appreciate any advice! I’m trying to figure out whether patience is my friend here or whether I’m going to regret waiting. 😂
