Please get an energy audit, that’s wild.

I’ll contribute if it comes to that. It boggles my mind that she is so much younger than I am, yet has three children older than mine is and an ex who is way too old for me.

He also uses his law practice to pressure women into sleeping with him. Looking at this thread, there seems to be a lot of “he gets them off, then they get him off.”

I think it was an upper midwestern thing? I had it in Iowa years ago, and it’s sooo tasty.

Please don’t spread misinformation. There’s one rebate program that can take over your thermostat, but that’s not a requirement to take advantage of the other parts of the energy efficiency program.

There’s one rebate program that takes over you thermostat sometimes, but that’s not required or anything. Insulation and air sealing is the way to go, but there’s no harm in getting a professional opinion first with the efficiency audit. They’ll tell you what to prioritize, and you’ll get some free swag.

I’d say it is, for a few reasons. I’m not an expert, but I grew up in the area and no one has responded to you. I would say it’s because StL was at one of the biggest cities in the country 100 years ago, then shrank rapidly as demographic trends changed. That’s led to a certain degree of decay and abandonment that you don’t get in KC, which was never that big to start with.

Also, in a massive self-own, St. Louis became an independent city in the late 1800s, when it was most booming and the county was just farms and small towns. So in the 50s when white flight was happening everywhere, the city lost its tax base to the county.

St. Louis county is its own mess because instead of having a cohesive plan to improve, it’s made of almost 100 tiny, corrupt independent towns who fight with each other over the scraps.

I came here thinking it was going to be Francis Howell, but it’s another school in the StL area near nuclear waste 🙄

Don’t forget the Lutherans, too! My grandmother was from Ferguson, and her grandparents were cousins.
