A signal is a sign to drivers behind you "Hey, there's a space here. Close it up. Fast." That's why people don't use signals.   more ›

What Makes a True St. Louisan

St. Louis Magazine released its list of “101 Things Every St. Louisan Must Do,” which includes a handful of South County experiences. What’s on your personal list?

St. Louis Magazine’s “101 Things Every St. Louisan Must Do” isn’t for tourists. The magazine attempts to distinguish the difference between a St. Louis resident and a true St. Louisan… and provides a handy checklist of quintessential experiences should you feel you haven’t been living life in the Lou to the fullest. Some items are more obvious than others—like skipping work to attend Opening Day at Busch Stadium, or taking a brewery tour. The list includes several experiences that are unique to South County and its surrounding areas: Download their checklist in PDF form! Patch wants to know what experiences you consider 'required' as a St. Louisan! Tell us in the comments.

I am currently going through mediation for visitation rights for the father of my daughter. He currently lives across country and would like to keep her for a whole month. I do not feel comfortable with this since she is only 3 years old and feel that it may not be good for her mentally. What do you think about this situation?   more ›

Schnuck says approximately 2.4 million credit and debit cards used at 79 stores may have been compromised. Check out the list of stores and the latest on the security breach investigation.

Monday morning, Schnucks released its list of St. Louis area stores that were impacted by the recent security breach.

Tornado Updates

Hazelwood Editor Survives Tornado: 'I Never Got a Chance to Pray'

Hazelwood Patch Editor Candace Jarrett reflects on experiencing the EF2 tornado that ripped through Hazelwood Wednesday. Where were you when the sudden storm hit?

As I wrap up my almost 24-hour work day, I'm finally able to sit back and think about the fact I survived a tornado on Wednesday. You always look at media coverage and movies where natural disasters happen, and I don't know about you, but I've asked myself time after time: "What would I do if I were in that situation?" First, I would pray to the good Lord above. Second, I would whip out my camera and go into journalist mode. Third, when all the chaos was over, I would ensure my family was OK. When it happens, plans go out the window, kind of like when you deliver a baby. As I drove down Howdershell Road Wednesday night, slowing to a halt near Lynn Haven Lane because of heavy rains, I can't tell you much about what happened because I was in…

You are so welcome, Laura. I think we could do more than you think without spending anything. I know of some resources, such as where to get free mulch, compost, etc., which, with a few nice plants, could probably get your soil in good condition and look good too. Sometimes less is more. A west facing home is something I would love, as I tend to love things that bloom. Most plants bloom better …   more ›
