Kyle Turley on Weed: “That Would be the One Bob.”

 Posted on February 1, 2011  |  The Editor

A recent Washington University School of Medicine study discussed the use, or rather misuse, of painkillers by current and former NFL players. The study, commissioned by ESPN’s Outside the Lines, found that 52 percent of former players used prescription pain meds during their active days, and 15 percent of that group admitted to misusing drugs in the last month. “That’s a very large number in a population that, at that age, we wouldn’t expect to see much use of these substances at all,” Compton said.

Mountain Lion Spotted in Chesterfield

 Posted on January 21, 2011  |  The Editor

Photos taken by a Chesterfield man have been confirmed by the Department of Conservation to be a mountain lion. A mountain lion that is in the Chesterfield area near the Missouri River. The Department of Conservation would like to remind everyone that mountain lions are nocturnal and tend to avoid humans. Not to be confused with cougars, who just pretend they are nocturnal, hitting up college bars and then trying to take home Johnny Frat at 10:45 because they have a big meeting tomorrow. [Read More]

Mayor Slay Declared Yesterday “Lewis Place Day”

 Posted on January 18, 2011  |  The Editor

Our honorable Mayor Slay spent part of his Monday at Lewis Place, an historic African-American neighborhood north of the Central West End that was hit hard by the infamous New Year’s Eve tornados. The neighborhood is an important one for the area because… The first black families to buy homes on Lewis Place ran into property-deed covenants that prohibited owners from selling to blacks. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned those covenants in a landmark 1948 case known as Shelley v. [Read More]

You know that important bill you not going to get? No? Oh, well…it’s on 270 by Dorsett Road. We’re sure it will be fine though, we hear mortgage companies are usually pretty chill on stuff like that.

The truck continued onto Interstate 55 to Ste. [Read More]

 Posted on January 14, 2011  |  The Editor

St. Louis premiere homeless person shanty town Hopeville, which we’ve covered before, is under city pressure again. The city thinks the current Hopeville installation is a fire hazard after three tents burned last week. In the fire last week, one tent caught fire, and witnesses said it spread to at least two others. A few propane tanks that were being stored in the first tent exploded. While a propane heater was being used in the tent, it was unclear how the fire started. [Read More]

Finding Things in the Weather Radar is Fun

 Posted on January 11, 2011  |  The Editor

It’s about the time of year when everyone in St. Louis pretends we are actually in New Mexico and begins to freak out about any nominal snow fall. “Oh no! Snow is coming! Who would have predicted 3 inches of snow in January?!” It’s even worse after the whole New Year’s Eve deal, which turned the St. Louis area population in to a bunch of cave people (ok, some of them were pretty close already) scared of anything with the word “storm” in it as though the weather gods are out to get us.

Possible MRI Explosion Threatens to Destroy Sunset Hills

 Posted on January 7, 2011  |  The Editor

Areas of Sunset Hills were evacuated last night based on the threat of a possible explosion of an MRI machine that was damaged in the Great Storm of New Years Eve (turn to KSDK, I think they are still airing “continuing coverage” of the storm) and found to be still on, thus posing a hazard to the area. Or it could have been damaged because this fat guy in the photo keeps posing for photos on MRI machines. [Read More]

 Posted on January 5, 2011  |  The Editor

So it’s come to this August Busch IV…now you’re waxing philosophical to STLToday’s Deb Peterson? Jesus dude, our number is pretty easy to remember: 314-266-TIPS We’re a great freaking shoulder to cry on! We’ll hit you with the highlights anyway. Regardless it appears that Busch isn’t dealing with the stress of losing his girlfriend, Adrienne Martin, well, especially after the takeover of his company.
