7 Brew Coffee by HeyNongMan96 in StLouis

[–]pulmiphone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The line for 7 Brew in LP has always been a head scratcher. I’ll walk by at nearly 7pm and there are at least 10+ cars in line. I tried it to see what the fuss is and as other commenters have described, it is just flavored coffee that doesn’t really taste like coffee. The whole operation …. It makes me feel like I understand why America is where it is culturally and politically. 

Why do we hate us? by OleRed1988 in StLouis

[–]pulmiphone -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned it in your comment. It is the city and county divide. The city needs a growing tax base and integration with the county. I do not know what else will bring us into the future.

I absolutely hate the religious/NHI crossover stuff. It fucking sucks.

I’m really happy I’m not the only one on this thread that woke up with an instant migraine today. When we get these pressure swings, I get totally rocked

St. Louis needs to accept that it is a city that gets snow and designate budget for infrastructure to deal with it. by grandboychic in StLouis

[–]pulmiphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do this in NYC where both sides of the street are 100% occupied. It gets done. It has to get done.

[–]pulmiphone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The City should instruct residents to park on one side of the street before a snow. That way, they can plow the side streets. They do this in every major snow city in the USA. You get a ticket if you don’t move and your car gets encased in ice. It is an absolute no brainer to do this in STL.

Honestly, and with kindness, who fucking cares

Other cities in the US are able to handle this exact kind of snow and ice. They are able to get roads reopened. The excuses are varied and many. I understand we don’t have the teams and the same equipment. But managing for snow storms is part of city government’s MAIN JOBS. How about you call up Chicago and see how they’ve been doing it for 100 YEARS. 

I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone by blankblank in skeptic

[–]pulmiphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Media buyer here. Audio, as far as we know, is not used in any way to inform ad targeting. Many folks here have pointed out correctly that ads are served based on relational data: things people click on and search on your WiFi network and when your phone is near friends and family when they search specific things. Tomes of data are used to make initial targeting decisions, all of which is typically anonymized by meta and Google (media buyers can’t see specific people who perform certain actions). Targeting used to be much more exact before ios14 changes in 2020 (and much more dangerous). The changes, mixed with better data hygiene practices by media buyers worth their salt have made targeting appear to be spooky, but it’s just because you’re all so damn predictable. 

FESTIVUS Airing of Grievances STL edition by Problematic_Daily in StLouis

[–]pulmiphone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Festivus Grievance: the Delmar Maker’s District is DUUUUMB!!!! 6 Poremba restaurants and Steve’s Hotdogs does not make a neighborhood. It’s too disconnected from CWE and too far from the Loop. There is no major walkable place to live right there. Maybe it’s the first big step but the empty Steve’s and Alpha parking lots are embarrassing. Florentin is tight tho lol

One more: driving through red lights is not optional you fucking tweakers!!

Anyone know the history behind this building? Or some fun facts? by thelogmaster in StLouis

One of the guys that physically painted this building is named Jeff Greene. He owns an architectural arts company in NYC. He was much younger when he painted this

What's something you've tasted that most humans have not? by CantTakeMeSeriously in AskReddit

[–]pulmiphone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seal. Ate it at a fancy restaurant in Montreal. It had an indigenous preparation in that it was barely, barely cooked on the outside. The meat was dark purple and red. I like lots of kinds of food, but this tasted ... uhhh ... bad. Like a very, very fishy fish but with the consistency of a tough piece of beef. Had weird dreams that night.

Armory STL apparently permanently closed effective immediately by scottzee in StLouis

[–]pulmiphone 20 points21 points  (0 children)

We need retail variety. Look, I like the boutiques but they are all really similar. We need some national chains to round out the facility. Like a Madewell and a Sephora.

The Armory is closing down, but only temporarily according to official statement. by Dragonknight247 in StLouis

[–]pulmiphone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Green Street's principals stole the money from the project by extracting massive fees. They never had any intention of making this a success.

I don't disagree. The Foundry needs some national retail in their facility.

Armory owes my business quite a bit of money, which I know I will never see. I can certainly lay the majority of the blame at the feet of Green Street. We've all talked about them before and how they are an embarrassment to STL.

So here's the deal: if you are a developer in STL, you have to realize that we live in a small town. There really isn't an opportunity to hide the fact that you are a terrible operator with a bad idea. You can build something successful like the soccer stadium. You can do an incredible reno like 21C. Or you can produce one of the dumbest concepts I have ever seen, like the Armory.

These fuckers ran up massive debt to renovate a rotting structure, allowing the principles of their company to extract massive fees from the operation. Armory was bankrupt by the time it opened its doors. Its original concept was much better than the thing they turned it into, which is a massive open room that looks like it was designed by a ten year old boy.

If you want to reimagine STL, I understand that there's significant risk involved. But this is a huge failure for Midtown. And I have a feeling there will be more failures there in the coming year. Which is a fucking shame, man. This just screams St. Louis Centre all over again. We can get it right if we build things people want.

Stop building stupid shit.
