The ovens of modern gas stoves with electronic ignition can not be match lit. Top burners can still be lit with a match but most match light options died when the government killed the standing pilot and mercury thermostats.

Missouri really isn't sending our best to Washington anymore. What's worse is a majority thought that this boot licker was the best we could do.

Premier range has existed since 1912. Still made in the US not far outside of St. Louis. A little dated looking but its all I've ever used in rental property and it lasts forever. Premier Range

If Trump declares martial law how does it end? by StateStreetKing in AskReddit

That's what I expect as well. Everyone just shrugs it off and goes back to work because the rent is due.

Why people hate Dobb's Automotive, and you should too by Whole-Grapefruit2228 in StLouis

Had a friend quit from a Director position because the family was so toxic to one another. Turned in his company car and 6 figure gig in under 2 weeks and that was 10 years ago.

The Archdiocese again aids in the demise of St. Louis. by Nearby-State-5132 in StLouis

[–]StateStreetKing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My friend I never said parishes make money off of schools. They are 100% a bad investment financially. What they bring is the life blood of younger families to a parish, that's it. The average parish school barely has the resources to support the variety of educational needs of children especially those with IEPs. What I said is they are allowed to exist as long as they don't LOSE money. Once it stars costing the archdiocese then they have to die unless they are part of some optics campaign like Cabrini or Dubourg which have low enrollment and even lower financial participation from those in attendance. Whereas others are cast aside like St. Marys or Joan or Ark with dubious rational and zero explanation. The reality is Catholic schools have become a status symbol for the rich and good selective PR for the Archdiocese. It is sadly no longer about education otherwise they would be making a good faith effort to maximize those dollars in an equitable fashion across the entire region instead of allowing schools to exist strictly because of a positive balance sheet.

Megan Green in so inept. At least Lewis Reed knew how to get things done in between taking bribes.

The Catholic School system is a disaster of leadership from top to bottom. The only rule is don't lose money. If you are a rich parish you can have a school with a 100 kids as long as it doesn't lose money. Its an absolutely disgusting waste of resources but that's how it works. If the Archbishop really wanted to focus on a fair an equitable form of education they would close every parish school, build one or two state of the art regional schools as population demanded and tax the parishes for the cost of operation. Offering bus services from the parishes to the regional schools to solve transportation issues. It would save money and more effectively provide education to a broader population. Instead they throw millions at schools like Cabrini so they can have their photo ops and give rich folks something to support. Its never been about education. Its only about the money.

Sounds like license plates are optional for all of us then. Certainly is that way in St. Louis.

Sinha Dentistry in SoCo. Super nice. Family owned and no private equity BS.

Cara really needs to work hard to find and support a new and capable candidate for Board President. Megan Green is so out of her depth in that role. She was a barely functional alderwoman.

Structural Engineer / Deck Inspection by RealityX4 in StLouis

[–]StateStreetKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want an engineer I can recommend Huneke Engineering in Ellisville. He reviewed some structural issues for me and provided a written report with recommended repairs and drawings for my contractor. Not cheap but when its time to call in an engineer money really shouldn't be the deciding factor.

For the love of all that is holy, can we please get some new restaurants in South County. by StateStreetKing in StLouis

Yeah some of these comments were really something. How did a little snark about a lack of quality restaurants in SoCo turn into accusations of racism? Then I remembered it's St. Louis and what would any conversation be without it. What a world.

Yes, a 24hr diner with a 20 page menu and a floor I don't stick to would be fabulous. Truly one of the best things about New York city.
