This year, there were several colleges and community organizations tabling; 3 presentations about scholarship searching and financial planning; plus a panel of last year's scholarship recipients. There was SO much good information, and 4 people won $500 scholarships! This event is every November. The building is a perfect space for it, with plenty of space in the hallways for the vendors who are tabling, and seating in the council chambers for the presentations. All of the offices are closed when I've been here, because the event is on a weekend , but there is information out about upcoming events and local offerings (see picture).

An underground station on the Blue Line of the Saint Louis Metrolink, Skinker is located at the…read morenorthwest corner of Forest Park. If you're coming from the Shrewsbury end of the Blue Line, this is a convenient stop for accessing Delmar Loop without going to Forest Park station and waiting for a Red Line train. It's just a few blocks. Skinker takes its name from Skinker Boulevard which in turn is named for Adam L. Skinker, a prominent early 20th-century Saint Louis civic figure and real‑estate developer. He was involved in subdivision development and land assembly on the western edge of the city at a time when Saint Louis was expanding toward Forest Park and the county line. The station is located between Forest Park-DeBaliviere (inbound) and University City-Big Bend (outbound). The trains run down the center of the station, which means the doors will open on the right side of the train. There is a mezzanine level with a bridge inside the station for transferring from one side to the other. The station is located in the Skinker Tunnel which itself is well below the ground with both stairs and elevator to reach the surface level. Beyond the station in both directions, the train returns to teh surface. The station seemed decently lit this afternoon. There are ticket vending kiosks and while no one was checking tickets today, I'm sure that they do that occasionally. Don't get caught! [Review 418 of 2026 - 502 in Missouri - 25601 overall]

The tunnel bridge over the tracks serves as a pedestrian underpass that connects the university to the other side of the road, which is Very convenient. It is not the most decrepit or dirtiest station in STL but I've seen mold on the wall, especially on rainy days. I often couldn't refrain from wondering how deep these inhaled spores can reach in our trachea and bronchial tubes before being trapped in mucus though.

Dear reader/ St. Lois Community: My name is Douglas and I decided to write a quick review here. I…read moredo not live in this area, however, I am somewhat appalled and concerned that yet gain, on both sides of the coin, a municipality has reacted to political correctness and had this cop been black or whatever else even a woman, likely, there would have nothing about it. Why do some feel false sense of guilt, indebtedness to some minorities??? Too, so much for these self righteous hypocrites. I am sure they have done a few awful things in their life too. People are dying everyday across the land from heart disease, diabetes, natural causes, police, accidents, hands of themselves and on and on! Why cant or wont these race hustlers and some of their sick white supporters too, act grateful and shut up for once. Their kicking others is a lucrative enterprise. Nevermind the loser, despotic, racist himself in all truth (appears so) getting free passes because he is Black, while the country is in tatters/near certain ruin!!!!! Douglas B.

Did you know our local fire department is dually trained as firefighters and EMT. It's amazing to see all of the compartments and equipment they contain to handle any situation. We enjoyed seeing several varieties of police vehicles and equipment. Cars, jeeps, a tanker and a robot. A K-9 officer was onsite as well. The inside of a crime lab van was interesting and full of various supplies used for investigations. We got to go inside and tour the dispatch center and the jail. Unfortunately we missed Safety Town. The day also included lunch and ice cream treats from 2 great food trucks. Popcorn, water and face painting were also available. It was hot but a great day learning about those who protect and serve our community. The mayor along with board members and council members were there mingling and answering questions.

This week I had two encounters with the City's Assessor's Office/Collector of Revenue downtown at City Hall. No matter what you have to do over there, it seems they always yell at you and refer you to "Room 115" which is where the 25 employees with piss poor customer service skills sit around doing nothing all day doing who knows what but sure do get bent out of shape when you come in and take a number. This office is where you get your "Tax Waiver" which states that despite the fact that you've been paying personal property taxes to the city for years, you had no tax liability last year so now you can get whatever you want done and pay more money. I swear these sour-pussed "helpers" are there as gatekeepers to test your resolve before you enter a lower circle of hell. If you can't deal with their ire, run away! Next, you either go to the office with a bunch of bank teller like windows where the people are smiling and nice until you get up to their window and they tell you what a jacktard you are and that you need to go to "Room 110" (I may have my room numbers mixed up, but if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about). So I finally get to the correct room and luckily, despite the crowd, my number is called in short order. The sour-puss at this window gives me the whole "whadda you want?" glare and I present my forms to transfer title. I have a huge tax check, my old registration, title, bill of sale, driver's license, proof of insurance, tax waiver, safety inspection and emissions test from last July. Surely, I'm good to go, right? Wrong! Where is your new emissions test? I didn't know...I just got a 2 year plate last year and my current test is not expired... WRONG! WHAT THE $%^&#$^%$% ARE YOU THINKING? GET OUT OF MY LINE!!! COME BACK WHEN YOU'VE PULLED YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR NETHER REGION!!! Holy crap! I've had my ass chewed a time or three in my life, but these brutes really know how to foul up a brother's day. So, shit, I fire back at this customer service specialist. Look Lady, I don't know who pissed in your Wheaties today (I like that one) but I am on a clock to get my sales tax paid to the state so I can get my new title to the bank (I purchased a lease) and at the very least let me pay my sales tax and get my title work started. "Well...I could do that, but if I do you will be driving on an bad registration because the title will not be in your name or the banks..." Yeah...well if I get pulled over between the time I get my emissions checked and get back here, I guess I'll deal with it. So, little miss can't be wrong takes my check, issues me a receipt and hands me back my paperwork...or at least most of it. I find out the next afternoon after I made it to Midas and got my emissions tested, that biatch had kept my "Tax Waiver" and that I would have to go back to "Room 115" and get a new one. Listen up!!!!! I will not go back to Room 115. You see that sour-pussed bitch sitting right over there in that cage? Yes, the one that looks like she just smelled a bowl of warm piss...yes, that one. She took my friggin' Tax Waiver yesterday and didn't give it back! While I glanced over my shoulder for security, she slurks off and has conversation with old sour. She comes back and mumbles something about how they would never hold onto the tax waiver, but in my case, since old sour recognized me from yesterday she vaguely remembers that I had the form then so it is okay to proceed. So I pay my new extortion to the city/state, get my third set of new plates in 15 months (yes...remember last year when they switched designs?) and get the fuck outta Dodge. Oh yeah...even year so I couldn't get a 2-year plate. See you fine folks next year...ugh! But wait...did I really get in and out of there in less than 46 minutes? I must have, because when I got outside my meter still had 3 minutes left on it. It only cost me 80 cents for that 46 minutes. A quarter at City Hall only gets you about 12 minutes. What a rip.
