They said it was going to be fast. They didn’t say anything about it being cheap.

Did it get firebombed or did it just catch on fire by itself? You never know with a Cybertruck.

Carr Square Park is now Loretta Hall Park. The street numbers changed. Just shift that red square a little bit to the east.

Yeah, my observations are that people who speed and drive recklessly don't consider the wear and tear on their cars...

Credit is due to several dogged Tower Grove East residents who tirelessly went after the owners to get them to renovate the building instead of sitting on it, which is what they had been doing for a long time.

I am very familiar with the Chesterfield area due to family living out there. I don't see any reason why this development is not going to be hugely successful. Two of the wealthiest zip codes in the region wrap around the site. Chesterfield Mall failed for other more complex reasons.

The architecture of the house in the movie is totally wrong compared to the house in real life--which btw has been torn down.
