The weather forecast is cold, and there are additional emergency shelter beds available in the City of St. Louis tonight and tomorrow night.
If you or someone you know needs a warm bed tonight, call United Way at 2-1-1

Just for fun, here's what Cara Spencer said when FleishmanHillard left. I guess she hasn't "gotten serious" about investing downtown.

Best guess is that Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social will quietly sign this bill without much fanfare. Then there will inevitably be a lawsuit, and it will end up in the courts, which will cost taxpayers more money than the parking lot could ever be worth.

BREAKING: by a vote of 10-5, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen votes to ignore the city charter, circumvent the will of the voters, and sell a city park to some developers to turn it into a parking lot.
Mayor Spencer is expected to sign the bill, and a lawsuit is expected to swiftly follow.

A few people have asked how they can get involved in preventing the sale of Interco Plaza without it first going to a vote, so I created a sample email and put together a list of Alder emails. Find it in this google drive folder: bit.ly/3LfBH1t

It should be noted that the group that wants to buy this park gave Spencer's mayoral campaign/PAC at least $12,600 (that I can find)
