The big talk out in western St. Charles County for the last few months has been the goings on of this really big ass house that was constructed in Lake St. Louis. Not exactly a lot going on out there apparently. Created by the owner of the now defunct US Fidelis, who made craploads of money by selling extended auto-service contracts before getting panned for shoddy service and are now bankrupt, the 20,752-square-foot mansion was described on the listing thusly… [Read More]

In yet another “me too” political action, another St. Louis area is moving to ban smoking. City leaders could ban smoking in Lake St. Louis. The aldermen could vote on a proposed ban this evening. If a ban passes, Lake St. Louis would be the first city in St. Charles County to be smoke free. Well there’s something to hang your hat on. No more smoking in all the fine Lake St. [Read More]

Members of the Wentville Firefighters Community Outreach will host a 7k run, a 1-mile walk and 1:30 p. [Read More]

We are of a city-loving sort here at Punching Kitty, but we didn’t spend our formative years in the city, and our mother never lets us forget it. It gets a little harder to brush off your mom’s pro-county arguments when her very own town and the place you grew up grabs the number 9 spot on CNN’s list of the top places to live in America. Sigh. Created 40 years ago as a resort community, this friendly town outside St. [Read More]

We had the opportunity to head out across the bridge and to Lake St. Louis to this year’s Polar Bear Plunge. It was far more packed with people than we thought, so we just had to snap off a few pictures: <p> Way to be everything people on the coasts thing Middle America is! </p> <p> Were you there? Do you have any photos that either support or (hopefully) refute my conclusion? [Read More]
