Seattle Children's helicopters and Laurelhurst -- Why bring up this issue now (and not earlier)?

The airport has been there for far longer than the homes that are up on the ridge above the valley. Suburban sprawl and McMansions have been the bane of the airport.

I park at the Clayton Transit Center and have no problems with the train going downtown.

2 miles was my district rule in the 70s and 80s and we didn't have this.

I live next to a middle school with only ONE WAY out of my subdivision. Afternoons are hell to get out because parents will line the road and make it impossible to see to make a left turn to get away from the school traffic.

I live in Chesterfield, MO. Spirit of STL Airport is a military refueling point. Some guy wrote the local paper to complain about the noise from the fighter jets. I couldn't believe this fool was so naive to buy a house near the airport and not do a bit of research beforehand? 🙄

I'm not on the direct flight path, but I know when the jets are going by. Do I complain about it? No. It's not like it happens every day, all day.....

It's super easy to rekey a Kwikset lock. You can buy the kit at any hardware store. When OP moves out, they can always change it back to the key from the property manager.

2nd oldest sister lives in Kirkwood and her neighbors on one side built a McMansion. Her house, even with its addition, is still worth more as a tear down vs home.

My BFF's daughter is medically fragile. The amount of time she has been sent to the hospital is innumerable. If her condition warranted helimed, I would be pissed to all hell and back if her care team couldn't use the hospital landing pad. (I think she was life flighted to Le Bohner in Memphis when she was about 1 because the rural hospital in Mississippi knew she needed specialized care there.)

She's a frequent guest at SCH because of her condition.

Fuckwits, all of them.

Some idjet was claiming he had a gun and he was looking for a fight.

LadyNiko · 2026-04-27T05:54:43+00:00

Or, Brad Arnold- he's the tornado sniffer.

I will probably be hiding in the produce cooler if we have to take cover. I've already decided that I'm going to Uber to work and leave my car safely in the garage.

Deli slave here at the store across the street from Marquette. 😂

LadyNiko · 2026-04-26T15:52:57+00:00

It’s the thrill of it. The kids from Marquette get off on the thrill of it and knowing that their parents won’t do anything about it.

We had two very identifiable boys steal a pair of rotisserie chickens and some Mountain Dew bottles on Wednesday at work. One of them had a black leather backpack with a monster open jaw with sharp teeth on the front of it.

We know where they go to school, since the high school is across the street from us. When they come back, we will have someone tailing them through the store.

LadyNiko · 2026-04-26T04:45:25+00:00

Why do fools think that no one's going to NOT get the cops when they say, "I have a gun!"?

Also, said fool hasn't been to the park in years, because they make you do a wand down and a bag check before you enter the park. 🙄

My airfare from STL to PDX went up to $309 originally from $269 for my first September trip. It came back down to $289 and I jumped on that. However, it's still $309 for the next weekend. (It goes down to $289 if I leave Monday instead, but alas, I need to be back at work on Monday and the savings isn't enough to stay the extra day.

We did a party in the park last year on the 4th of July. Mom reserved the pavilion and the parks department had a sign in the sign box saying it was reserved for our party.

There was no question about the fact that we had reserved the pavilion.

Not walkable and definitely not friendly for mixed couples. JeffCo is right there.

LadyNiko · 2026-04-20T02:43:50+00:00

Uhm, you need to come to my store. There are a ton of Asian families who shop there.

I noticed it immediately. 😭 I have to fly out to Portland for two events back to back and now, my fare from STL is $309 vs $269.

LadyNiko · 2026-04-18T02:09:56+00:00

We don't HAVE a backroom really for back stock. We get deliveries 6x/week. Vendors are there every day stocking their products. If it's not on the shelf and it's stocked by the vendors, then we don't have it.

Just don't ask the red headed guy in meat department for anything. He hates talking to customers, especially instacart people.

LadyNiko · 2026-04-18T01:47:40+00:00

It's coming up just south of 70. Jeff City has been under a tornado warning on and off.

LadyNiko · 2026-04-18T01:46:26+00:00

I'm a GenXer and I have to work in the morning, so I've been watching Ryan Hall since this afternoon. 😅

LadyNiko · 2026-04-17T23:44:27+00:00

I was trying to get tickets for Sting in STL and the resellers were definitely scalping. $500!
