About Me

Life in North St. Louis County is always interesting. Living near the airport, you get used to jet noise, rattling windows, and the occassional F-18 test flight. Living close to the city makes it an easy commute to ballgames, downtown attractions, and drive-by shootings. There are about 90 municipalities in St. Louis County, so it's possible to cruise through a dozen jurisdictions in an evening's run. What with the red-light cameras, fast-food joints, and past-their-prime neighborhoods elbow-to-elbow with new developments, who could ask for anything more? Just make sure you own a car at least as big as a '88 Lincoln Town Car and a handgun at least 9MM in caliber.
