Either that’s the wrong link in the story or there’s something wrong with the form. It’s asking for a login.

Loading lithographic (commercial printing) film into either the developer - which was done outside the darkroom. Or into the canister - done in complete darkness. We were high-tech, though. That film was being run through a Linotype postscript Imagesetter.

Pssst. Your historic is showing.

We did a taste test once and landed on the Dierberg’s version as second best. Second only to the homemade version.

My vision globes have been malfunctioning since childhood. So every year I drop more $$$ there than at my cardiologist.

A medical office where your insurance covers 100% of the procedures and all prescribed interventions.

What? You said wrong answers only. 😆

Gravois. Specifically Gravois at Sidney and S Jefferson.

Yeah, we have (commercial) frontage for two lots and one is on a corner. So it’s a lot and it refroze overnight. I’m going to try to get out there this afternoon.

Oh my. Incredible!

I already have all her gifts, but I should get this for my daughter.

She’s 27.

I moved from a relatively wealthy neighborhood to a more middle/lower middle neighborhood. (Just…smaller houses.) The biggest difference hands-down was the lack of lawn crews and leaf blowers. Every once in a while, a crew comes through. But not every. Damn. Day.

Haha! I follow you with both my personal and business accounts. As well as your hyperhouse account. I kinda knew you were one in the same. I also think there’s a collective of us who love this city, preserve it, and tell the haters to step off.

It is at once frustrating and glorious. I love it and hate it. I miss going there but I’m glad I don’t.

Richmond Heights? That used to be our usual store because it was on our way home from work. Switching was definitely culture shock.

I live in flyover country and you wouldn’t think I’d care much. But this is absolutely delicious.

Go out to your car and check the little stamp in the corner of one of the windows. If it says Saint-Gobain, that glass was made by a now-multinational company that was founded 360 years ago as a mirror-maker to French royalty. (Encouraging for current business owners facing tough times.)

I’m a knitter and this makes total sense to me. I’ve tried, but I’m not intelligent enough to crochet. 😆

Why should he change? He’s the one who sucks.
November 20, 2025 at 6:05 PM
Yeah, you know, things happen. Like sometimes people step too close to someone that has a weapon and who might have misinterpreted a so-called “order” to carry out…something. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What. A bunch. Of middle schoolers. And that’s insulting to a lot of middle schoolers I know.

I mean, I like Phantom of the Opera in a weird way. But do some math on the relationship between the Phantom and Christine and the creepy factor is off the charts. Perfect for Trump, I guess.

Okay, so it was a hand saw that he picked up and twirled and it was a visual trick he learned in marching band to look as though he “twirled” his trumpet, but still. Some of the kids are all right.
