r/StLouis

The Hill is thinking about a historic district but unlike many historic neighborhoods, the architecture may actually be one of its drawbacks (outside of St Ambrose). The hill is a successful story because it is centered on a church/school and has a thriving mix use community of bakeries, housing, bars, and restaurants. It’s completely walkable and bikeable but preserving shotgun houses does nothing to bolster it.

I made a post yesterday asking where I can buy a car. A redditor messaged me a few hours later because they were selling a car, it’s reliable and it was at a price point I could afford. I use Reddit often but never thought it would benefit me as much as it did today. Thank god for this subreddit. I was worried I would have a more lengthy time looking for a car since moving back. Thank you SO MUCH to the seller :) I will treat her nicely.

Broadway and Convention:

Person with a stick of sorts swinging it

Police tried to get him to talk to them

he wouldn’t, kept swinging it.

Wouldn’t drop it after multiple commands, got tased

that didn’t stop him

charged an officer, with a large butchers knife he pulled out, officer fired a shot or 2 maybe

Suspect died at the hospital

Scene cleared, roads reopened

Sad situation

So ever since Mama Toscano’s at The Hill closed a few years ago, I’ve been struggling to find a new place with good ravioli. Any recommendations?

Public Historian Amanda Clark will look at the powerful 1811–1812 New Madrid earthquakes and the unexpected ways in which well-meaning disaster relief efforts reshaped St. Louis.

UPDATE: Car recovered. They did not get caught. Instead, they were riding in The Hill following a different car when they got spotted by the cops (?) and sped off. They took a corner way too fast and hit a curb, breaking the wheel and front axle. They abandoned the car in the middle of the street, ran to the other car and fled. The cops collected a bunch of evidence. They left a ton of shit in the car. The back door is broken and doesn't close. The keys no longer work. Calling around now to try to get it towed away. This is just the beginning of a long ordeal. I think the car is totalled. We'll see.

ORIGINAL POST: South city. I woke up this morning to find my car gone from in front of my house. No broken glass. I'm certain it was locked. Anyway, I called the cops, insurance, all that. It has a tracker buried in it. So now I'm watching them drive around North County. I know what addresses they stopped at. What gas station they went to several times. The county cops know. Dark Gray 2023 Honda CR-V hybrid. Had a full tank of gas, so this could go on for a long time. We'll see.
