Maplewood police using my driveway as a speed trap

Post image

I came home from work and there was a Maplewood police car sitting in my driveway clocking vehicles passing by, is this okay?

Edit/Update: Typically they a have patrol car parked in the adjacent lot underneath the tree. I don’t know what made them decide to use my driveway today.
I called the non emergency number and asked to speak to a Sargent. He asked me to send him the pictures and assured me that this wouldn’t happen again.
Wondering if I’ll get pulled over anytime soon 😭.

Politics Early Voting is Open NOW and you have to do it!

For the next two weeks you can vote in the August 4th Primary. This election is so much more than a partisan selection this year. In addition to my race for Congress in MO-2 you've got very important Constitutional Amendments and Initiative Petitions on this Primary ballot that you cannot miss. So, I would love you to vote for Fred Wellman in MO-2 on the Democratic ballot but you should also vote YES on Amendment 1 to keep our parks funded and free. Vote NO on Amendment 4 because it will destroy our ability to veto the terrible ideas of the legislature that has been the foundation of Missouri's unique government for over a century. Rich donors will only have to convince one tiny population of one single Congressional district to stop anything we want. The worst of them, in my opinion, is Amendment 5, which will ostensibly get rid of the income tax but give the legislature 5 years to tax absolutely ANYTHING they want to tax. It benefits the rich and screws working people. See this handy guide. I'd love your support because we can take back this state but it will take you!

Ask STL Looking for the best authentic Mexican food?

Weve tried “the Mexican” last night and while the food was decent it was incredibly Americanized. We really like La Oaxaqueña but are looking for similar places

Hello dog owners and thanks for taking the time to consider this idea!

I’m a local pet photographer (refraining from using my LLC name as to avoid this post being taken as an advertisement) and I have a special location that I will be granted access to for photos within coming weeks. These will be dark and moody, dramatic images of your dog… delivered to you digitally for free! The ideal dog would be a wolfdog, Husky, or Border Collie.

My primary use of these photos will be for portfolio, editing practice, potential competition use, and sharing on social media. For more information, please reach out via DM!

(Photos attached to this post are taken/edited by me, but do not feature the special location).

Where am I?

These cans are the Perennial by Lockwood lager: Sunday Mixtape Vol. 3. It's so southside it feels instantly recognizable but still took a little hunting to find the locale.

The two cans are turned to show both halves of the same picture.

Not really a spoiler but on the actual cans you can more easily read the address on the right foreground garage: 5700. Keeping it hidden in case anyone wants more of a challenge.

I thought maybe others would have fun looking. The locations is 5700 Lisette (backing Gresham) looking east.

Good morning everyone!
I'll be at Geek Craft Expo ( https://www.geekcraftexpo.com/ ) this weekend at Webster University in Grant Gym. There's like 30 artists, authors, and crafters of nerdy/fantasy/cute sort of things :) Family friendly.
Best part - it's INSIDE.

Sat: 10-5pm
Sun: 10-4pm

Parking is right next to the gym, and tickets online are $2. They're a smidge more on site, but not by a lot.

I'll be there with my fantasy watercolor artwork as well as my husband's books: The Dark Side of Super (super heroes with consequences) and The Backwards Knight (fantasy, world is falling apart)

I will also be at Gen Con next weekend - July 30th - Aug 2nd! Booth 1356 (fallenlights studio).

Can I report someone for stealing a package even if I don’t have a clear view of them? Like I have a video recording of them but it’s not clean like what do I even do when my package gets stolen. I’m pretty sure they always walk down my road too

There’s also routine police cars coming round
