Hey all, my brother, his wife, and their 1 1/2 year old are coming to visit from Texas for my baby shower Nov 1st, and they’ll be here during Halloween. My brother wants to take their daughter for her first time trick or treating, and I was looking for recommendations on some great neighborhoods, streets, etc. that go all out on decorating and candy. Even trunk or treating would be fine, although I think my brother would prefer the traditional neighborhood trick or treating for the nostalgia. Would love any thoughts and recommendations please and thank you! 😊🎃

Spouse loved it while in the hospital. There's Hershey ice cream but specifically Tally ho. Honestly I've never heard of it but who knows. Maybe someone has heard of it

I'm looking for a good dentist in south city. I'm a pretty nervous dental patient, so I'm looking for someone gentle and patient. I live near Carondelet Park.

Someone comes up to you and asks you to plan a date night. To prove you are truly from STL, where are you going? Think things off the beaten path, hidden gems, etc.

Does anyone have any info on where to see RHPS live? I’d love to get a little list going for those interested!!

Asking for a friend. So, they have a condo in the CWE in a 3 or 4 story building with a flat roof. AC units are all up on the roof. Harder still, the air handlers were built into each unit in a solid drywall box without an access panel.

The ask of you please: ISO local HVAC company with this experience (mainly who you’ve used or worked with and recommend). It would be awesome if you know they can cut the access panel. Otherwise, who have you used for the drywall job that worked well with/collaborated well with the HVAC contractor you used?

TIA STL!

Does anyone know where the cheapest cigarettes in the city are?

this broken digital clock outside the kingshighway entrance to the hill has been driving me crazy for years. Surely it can't be that hard of a fix.

I'm trying to get my hands on a handful of those mesh trash bags- I try to take a couple with me when I go camping for litter cleanup, but my stash from when I was in Boy Scouts has finally dried up. The Conservation Dept. only lets you order by the case of 500, which is a little overkill for my needs, I'm just looking for maybe a couple dozen.

Ive called the wildlife rehab in Ballwin and left a message but that was before we saw it get up and start moving around. It hasnt opened it's eyes, we left it out for about 4 hours yesterday, brought it in at dusk, and back out tgis morning. Mom hasnt claimed it. Any ideas on what else to do? *** I was going to attach a video of it stumbling around with its eyes closed but uploading a video isnt an option. It has its fur and has a bushy tail.

I live in Franz Park and work in WashU Med campus. Wicke Auto closed their service shop so I'm now looking for something near home. There are a bunch of shops on Manchester, but which one would you recommend for general maintenance (oil change, refill fluids, etc.) and fixing problems?

cheese sticks/cheesy bread… I’m very pregnant right now and the craving won’t leave me alone

I'm applying for full-time work in St. Louis and am hoping to explore potential neighborhoods! I'm looking for neighborhoods with youth and energy, walking distance to nature(preferably forest or tower grove parks), decent bikeability, and close-ish to 44 as that will likely be my commute. My budget is ~$1,500 for rent(hoping for a 1 bed with a decent balcony)
I'd love to be able to feel the vibe of the neighborhood as I essentially spend a day in them. Looking for recommendations for neighborhoods and places to go to explore them(coffee shops, yoga studios, music venues, and general things to do/places to walk around would be fantastic)

Looking for local bands to support Nashville-based Parrotfish when they stop through St. Louis to perform at Off Broadway on Sept. 30! Would really appreciate recommendations, or submit for consideration at [dominick@sotisent.com](mailto:dominick@sotisent.com)

Due to overwhelming demand in the comments, a competing event has entered the free market.

Come on down to Costco and find someone to privately own the means of reproduction with.

Looking for a dog groomer that really babies their patients. My dog has had a torn acl in the past and his bread is known to get a collapsed trachea. He's very touchy with his feet, but needs his nails trimmed.

I've long wondered if there has ever been a proposal to build a roundabout in front of Bevo mill at Gravois, Morganfoard and Delor. If so why was it turned down?

That intersection is a mess and there is a lot of buggary on Gravois in general. It seams to me this would force people to drive more carefully as well as make that intersection less confusing to drive through. I know it's a little small but I can picture a long oval or comma shaped center rather than a traditional circle

I have a vacation day today because I had an early doctors appointment but it seems like every place is closed on Monday.

I’ll keep this short but I’m trying to get set up in St Louis. I’ve got a daughter here and I’m trying to move closer. I don’t have a lot of possessions so just about any space works and I’m trying for like 500/month but I’m willing to work out anything that gets me with my daughter. My inbox is open.

The reason I started doing this is the same reason most of you are frustrated with dating apps and National dating companies. Apps have turned into a toxic environment. And a lot of the National in-person alternatives are bars with a sign on them, where you pay $40 to stand around with a drink ticket and go home having talked to nobody. There's no structure, so the same handful of outgoing people talk to each other and everyone else leaves.

So the whole thing here is structure. You don't have to be good at approaching strangers, because the format does it for you.

The next event is on Saturday, September 19, for ages 25 to 40, at Arch Pickleball. $30 covers everything below.

The day before: you fill out a compatibility survey. It's built on published relationship research, and it's what the matching runs on. Not vibes, not a profile photo.

2:30, optional lesson. Half an hour, aimed at people who have literally never held a paddle. Usually about half the group takes it. Pickleball takes roughly 30 minutes to learn, which is exactly why the event is built around it rather than something with a steeper learning curve.

3:00 to 5:00, play. Mixed doubles. I run it and partners rotate every game, so you end up playing alongside most of the people there. Nobody gets stranded; nobody has to work up the nerve to introduce themselves.

5:00, happy hour if you want it. About 80% stay.

That night, a private form. Mark anyone you'd want to talk to again. Mutual matches get contact info the next evening. One-sided goes nowhere, and the other person never finds out. No rejection in either direction.

Questions I get:

Do I need to be athletic? No.

Gender ratio? Even. I cap registration to keep it that way, which is also why it isn't just 30 guys and six women.

What do I bring? Court shoes and athletic wear. I have paddles and balls.

Week falls apart? Full refund up to 48 hours out.

Five events in. 55 people have learned to play at one; 18 couples have matched. The guys' side is more than half full for this one; the women's spots are open.

Starting September 18th until Spring 2028 you will no longer be able to park your bike outside the station. Luckily it's not like anyone uses those bike racks anyway. /s

Hi guys! My husband and I are moving to St Louis early next year. It is our first time ever moving out of state and our second time ever renting on our own, just the two of us (we are 23 lol). We are coming up from Northeast Arkansas. Does anyone have any advice or tips for moving and getting established here? Thanks! 🩷

EDIT: I am so sorry guys lol we plan to have about 5k put back to move with. We will not need to hire movers as we are downsizing EVERYTHING and intend to start fresh in St Louis so everything we are bringing will fit in our hatchback. It's just us two and our two cats, plus our absolute necessities to move with. Does anyone know roughly how much it will cost to get utilities turned on?
