    I noticed Sharon Tyus filed in the 1st ward. If Slay wins a third term, he might have hell to put up with ;)

    Listener, I am in complete agreement with you about the title of fashionista given to April. You’ve got to be kidding. I can name ten other women who surpass Ms. Griffin in St. Louis in the fasion world.

    Just clean up the trash, urine stained buildings and make an effort to work with the police to stop some of the petty crime in the Ward. (One of these days, I would like to park my car on Locust and imagine that it will NOT be broken into.) Surely, you can appreciate and recognize that point, Antonio.

    Recognize the woman for doing something productive, not how she dresses.

    Too bad Simpson backed out. I was looking forward to seeing the battle.

    I’m sorry that Isaiah Hair didn’t file this time. We could have used the entertainment.
