PUNCHING KITTY: 2009 - 2013
Punching Kitty was a writing project for the city of St. Louis to have a little fun and try to get everyone to stop taking themselves so seriously…and hopefully highlight some critical issues along the way. Not everyone liked it (it turns out people don’t love being made fun of) but we converted a lot of people and I take pride that the site was truly well read. From the local media, to area police departments, Punching Kitty truly became a source for news and entertainment for St. Louis.
We had a lot of fun, but all good things need an ending and ours was on March 13th, 2013. When we closed up shop the news made local radio, TV, and even the front page of STLToday (The St. Louis Post Dispatch’s website) where we were the top story over a new pope being named. Wild stuff.
While we will no longer actively write, the site will stay up as an archive for St. Louis.

St. Louis City Prosecutor Loves the Spice Girls
The hard-nosed city prosecutor who usually uses Twitter to shine a light on the various crimes that pass through her office, but last night during the Olympics closing ceremonies she took to Twitter for a very different reason…don’t worry, she’s OK with us telling everyone.
Way to spice up your Twitter profile! We hope St. Louis’ criminal element is ready for Lawyer Spice!
