Do you ever drive around North St. Louis? There are blocks that could be farmed at this point.

Could!

This is such a weird thing to say. You mean that just because STL Public Radio carries NPR programming, their report is fake and the organization they mention (Home | Gateway Greening) doesn't actually exist? Why don't you just go by the address and find out?

With persuasive glad-handing like this, you can hardly fail!

We believe positive collaboration and addressing palpable, omnipresent issues such as the ones I mentioned are a step in the right direction.
Working together - and not snarky, weary ripostes - will be solution to end concert cancellations due to crime (U2, a very liberal band), people afraid to attend the free attractions at night, and pressure on the mayor and her underperforming staff are the way to go!
You sound like an STL progressive - are you with the cause?

Hi Armando! You sound like the exact kind of person this city needs and we certainly welcome you with open arms. Could you explain in more detail how you expect to help this fair city? Is being progressive a good thing or bad? Hard to tell from this post.

We personally know Cory Booker as we are from the Newark area. Cory is a very inspiring, active and successful politician who made our beloved Newark a better place to live. Booker is what a Democrat should be, not divisive (Obama) or clueless (Krewson).

We are going to get very involved with out alderman and mayor and get this kickstart for STL going. We are going to harp on them for better and tougher policing (and not making LEOs paranoid about doing their job), cleaning up the city, getting the homeless under control (like converting abandoned homes to viable shelters. We are going to channel our NE energy here and get people to get involved and make STL great again. If Newark, Pittsburgh and even Detroit can turn it around, why can’t STL? Our target audience will be the currently incompetent city governments, our armies will be the educated young people of the city who are tired of the lethargic, reactionary way of the blue-collar, Bud-and-a-smoke mentality.

Politically the concept of "tougher policing" is a non-starter for any democrat anywhere in the country, including St. Louis.

That's not responsive to what I posted.

Yes! You expressed your position.
