Report Neighborhood Issues on Patch's Map

Patch is using See Click Fix to give our users a place to report complaints like potholes, graffiti, noise pollution or other issues.

Lake Saint Louis Patch users are good neighbors, and being a good neighbor means keeping an eye out for the problems all neighborhoods face. That’s why we are bringing you a new tool to report (and hopefully find solutions for) common problems—such as potholes, abandoned vehicles, unsafe crosswalks or intersections, rodent problems and more—online. Our goal is to bring neighbors together, making them aware of local problems and giving them the tools and information they need to solve them. If there is a way Patch can help, like calling the mayor’s office or doing a story on the issue, we will. To report a problem, click the “Report” tab in the map above. It’s in the upper-left corner next to “Issues.” Drag the red marker to indicate the …

Apportionment Commission Begins Redistricting

State representatives, citizens tout and decry proposed map, ask commission to make districts competitive.

One speaker put it succinctly: Nothing is more political than redistricting, even though laws strive to keep the politics out of the process. The House Apportionment Commission, which is meeting to redraw boundaries for the Missouri House of Representatives districts, took public comments at the University of Missouri, St. Louis Wednesday. Chairman Joe Maxwell told the audience that two commission members--Trent Skaggs and Marlene Davis--submitted a proposed redistricting map, called Skaggs-Davis No. 1, during an April 28 meeting in Jefferson City. Several state representatives--especially from the city of St. Louis--praised the map as a good starting point for the commission, including Rep. Tishaura Jones, D-District 63 and Rep. Mike …

LSL from the Air

A great find on YouTube lets us see Lake Saint Louis from a new angle.

I had an interesting email conversation with the Patch Sports Editor Jeff Stahlhut this week. He had been reading through the site, and he commented on my spelling of Lake Sainte Louise. "Too many e's?" Jeff asked. I told him about Lake Saint Louis' two lakes with their slightly different spellings, and he was pleased to have learned something new about Lake Saint Louis. The exchange aroused my curiosity, and a brief search of YouTube uncovered this gem. If you have friends or relatives who don't understand Lake Saint Louis' dual-lake nature, or you'd like to point out your house or neighborhood, send them a link. It's a fun way to learn a little more about our town. (Video copyright 2009, TeleAtlas and Digital Globe. Image courtesy U.S. …
