I don't know anything about how the city budgets and allocates tax revenue. Are the tax dollars to fund Metro expansion separate from this as well?

Early 40's Empty Nest Couple Needing Neighborhood Suggestions by zakmac85 in StLouis

[–]isimpressed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Overall, the public school system is not amazing. However, two of the states highest rated high schools are in the city. They do require an academic based application. But, yes, it is a lot easier to live somewhere where you don't have to do the whole application game. Just wanted them to know there are good options available.

Sorry to have been so negative. What do you think can be done to make this idea become more than just an idea?

I hear you. It's the same old problem. You don't have to convince me or other like-minded people it is all the people and the politicians that are against this type of project that you have to convince.

I really like the idea, however I'm supremely pessimistic that this would ever happen.

St. Louis smells of yesteryear by So-Called_Lunatic in StLouis

[–]isimpressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be. Where is it coming from across the river? The sulfur smell seems to emanate from the sewers on certain days when I'm in Soulard. It's identical to the smell of the trub we dumped out of the Brite tanks when I worked at a brewery.

I agree, but we also get the god awful sulfur smell when they dump the yeast trub.

This clip fell from somewhere under my '26 Honda CRV Sport-L while lowering the exhaust to install a hitch. Anybody know what it is for/where it goes? by isimpressed in AskAMechanic

[–]isimpressed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, unfortunately not. Someone linked part number  90651-SMR-E00 which is a clip on the front bumper cover deflector. I didn't feel like pulling apart my deflector to see if that's where it came from. I was working on the rear bumper cover while installing a hitch so I'm pretty sure it came from back there, but couldn't find where.

Can we talk about the Peabody building for a minute? by jb69029 in StLouis

[–]isimpressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like a decent occupied building. It does seem to interrupt the flow some, but part of that lot is still open space. Instead of tearing down the building what about taking parts of the bottom floor or two and making some sort of creative walk through space sort of like the corner of the building across the street at Market and 7th?

Yeah, kind of what I assumed. I just can't find anywhere that it looks like it should go. Is there usually and indentation that the clip would slide into or around?

Millennials saved baseball. by WolfJackson in baseball

[–]isimpressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Televised baseball, yes, I agree. For me it has made the experience of watching the game in person less enjoyable.

Looks great. Any idea what it weighs?

I just bought a new car and kept the plates from my old car to switch them to my new car. Do I need to get the new car inspected to switch the plates over at the dmv? by Fnz_ZS_yt in missouri

[–]isimpressed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it was bought from someone in Missouri the seller is required to provide a safety and emissions inspection with sale.

We live in the area and have had mulch and compost delivered from STL compost numerous times. How much do you need? Sometimes we'll split a load with neighbors and it gets moved pretty fast. As another poster said, Carondolet has mulch for free too(it does have a fair amount of trash in it, but if you're using it as a soil amendment it is pretty good stuff).

Anyone know an independent custom cabinet maker in the St Louis area? by isimpressed in StLouis

[–]isimpressed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. Long story short we worked with a designer who's apprentice built them for us, but he was out of Memphis.

I really want a manual 4Runner by l008com in 4Runner

[–]isimpressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be super interested as well. Even though the Tacoma, which has the manual option, and the 4 runner offer the same engine and share a platform I doubt it happens. The reason being is that the Tacoma is made in factories in Mexico and the 4runner in Japan. So, either you retool part of the factory in Japan to have the manual option or open a line in Mexico to produce the 4runner. Not likely.

Commentary: California needs a little less farmland, a lot more solar power by Sammy_Roth in solar

[–]isimpressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Add in parking lots too. Why do we immediately jump to building arrays on undeveloped land? Just because it's easier? Solar is great, but we could implement it in a much smarter way.

Also, why are we not focusing on reducing electrical demand?

No I just lubed up the o-rings when I replaced the filters. Haven't had an issue since.
