Sad News
The Pitted Olive was a great little spot on Hampton in Saint Louis Hills, and The Juniper Grill was in Soulard. Both were fantastic restaurants, and the state of the economy has apparently taken its toll on them.
I am going to miss the Pitted Olive's Reuben!

Naming the Trains?
With the opening of the new downtown transportation center here and some planned rail and signal improvements across the state, Amtrak and the Missouri Department of Transportation are looking for some new names for the trains that run a couple of times a day between St. Louis and Kansas City. The trains are currently called "The Ann Rutledge" and the "Missouri Mules." The new name for the passenger train service will be selected in a multi-part statewide contest.
Can you think of some apt names? If so, you can submit them here.

Who Wants to Convert A Firehouse?

Now is the Time!!!
Conventional, 30-year Fixed rate: 5.25%
FHA, 30-year fixed rate: 5.50%
All of the past FHA closings I have had in the past few months have been in the 6.75% to 7% range. 5.50% for FHA is absolutely unheard of!
Now is the time!
Drop me a line if you are ready to make the move!
Great New Listing in Florissant!
The huge kitchen located in the back of the home boasts sprakling new appliances and light fixtures.
I'm Back!
I am back and better than ever!

Absolutely Ridiculous
It's being torn down so that a parking lot can take its place.
Far too many buildings that possess charm and character are demolished in our city - and cities everywhere. Surely this building could have been been adapted for re-use.
The irony of it all: one of the reasons Shady Oak closed was because of lack of parking...
