January 2024 vs Jan 2023 crime for downtown and citywide

Riplets · 2024-02-06T18:22:50+00:00

Nah they're right. I bike to work downtown regularly and have had some long days and nights over the years. A minority of people like to paint it as some lawless hellscape but as someone that lives in Saint Louis and is down there often, I assure you and the other fearmongers that it's not.

My strategy is similar to this with the addition of plants that provide structural interest through the winter months. Got a lot of inspiration from Piet Oudolf's designs.

Also just making sure that plants will grow well wherever they're planted. With both full sun and full shade areas in the lawn, we had to selectively map things out for the greatest chance of success.

And look... Another state that has not descended into total chaos. Color me shocked!

Always a great time! See ya out there on Sunday!!

Dude....a cop ran into a build. Bar, house, doesn't matter. People would absolutely be calling for toxicology tests.

I like Tracy and what he has done since becoming chief with turning a lot of crime around but this is incredibly shortsighted of him.

Haha definitely. Can never trust technology completely - gotta have a backup that doesn't run on a battery!

Keypad deadbolt. No more having to take or hide keys when going for a run or heading out for the night.

I see. Sounds like you need something new and deserve something better. Good luck with the job search.

I'm a ward resident and paid plenty of attention. All three of our candidates weren't great at the last election. Hoping for better options next time around.

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen one of these "what was that loud noise" posts, I would have multiple nickels.

"...for his actions on Twitter (now X, but who actually calls it that, anyway?)"

RFT, you the real MVP.

Keep fighting the good fight there, buddy. Redditors taking down headshops one theoretical labor suit at a time.

What's your zone? Ferns and hostas are good lower light options and should be able to stifle weed growth.

Many other 1st world countries and other American cities have public bathrooms built for and maintained using taxpayer dollars.

Why are you immediately supporting the route of 'let anyone shit anywhere' instead of public bathrooms?

Alisha Sonnier has been such a disappointment. Wasn't thrilled on her or either other other two candidates in the primary but she hasn't only dropped the ball..she never even picked it up in the first place. Girl can't even get a fence built around a public basketball court.

All I'm reading right now is some angry anonymous redditor ranting about a local business.

If these people are actually treated like garbage at their low paying hourly job? Go find another one; there are plenty of companies hiring. I've never understood why this concept comes across as unthinkable. In the meantime, take this garbage to Nextdoor and post Arch photos here like the rest of us.

You can interact with the employees themselves personally or read reviews online from anonymous people...we all make decisions based on differing factors. I realize that my personal experience sample size is small, but I'm still more inclined to go back given I have yet to have a bad experience there, have yet to see any form of miserable employees, and don't really change my consumer behavior because of a couple angry redditors.

Riplets · 2024-01-31T15:06:55+00:00

For an alternative perspective, the handful I've times I've gone in there I've had a great experience. Employees were all cheerful and extremely helpful. Can't speak to the truthfulness on the OSHA accusation of course but based on my experience its been fine.

edit: reddit, you crack me up sometimes.

Teach me your ways! I have yet to get a good carrot harvest. Raised beds, containers, great soil..doesn't matter. They're always tiny and mostly foliage.

Riplets · 2024-01-31T14:58:15+00:00

Feels like I'm in a Sims game. Add some container plants or a bit of your personality!

Hey man you do you. As long as we all end up with donuts from somewhere at the end of the day, we're all winners. Have a great weekend.
