KMOV’s Brian Feldman, digging deep:

The current ordinance says on lots less than two acres, grass cannot exceed eight inches.  But on some commercial lots, it may be getting longer than that.

The city council of O’Fallon is going to take a look at making the restrictions much tighter.

In our mind’s eye, Feldman did this interview while wearing one of those little brown fedoras with a press pass tucked in to the band while scribbling away on a little note pad. There weren’t any photos with the story, and we’d like to think that’s only because he forgot all his flash powder or that the his interviewee didn’t have 15 minutes to stand still for the photo to correctly develop.

Six people were shocked while swimming in a Granite City swimming pool over the weekend, and while everyone is fine, the question remains: Why were they shocked?

Was there a loose wire in some part of the pool? Was there some foul play afoot? …or was it something more obvious? Maybe they were shocked when uncle Jerry belly flopped his suit right off…or maybe they were shocked only after finding out that Granite City is actually in Illinois and finally realized why their house was so cheap. It could have also been the total shock of Amy Winehouse dying, because weren’t we all surprised to see the reports of the “Rehab” singer being found on the floor of her flat? It may have been drugs, it could have been a body giving up after being so ugly for so long, or maybe there was a giant tumor under than beehive, who knows*!
