Taste of Soulard

It's that time of year when Soulard hosts it's annual celebration to kick off Mardi Gras!

Enjoy the opportunity to sample foods from Soulard's best restaurants while experiencing the Mardi Gras atmosphere!

The festivities are taking place Saturday and Sunday, February 14 and 15. The tickets are $25.00 and it lasts all day. They offer a heated trolley to travel to each location as well.

This is a great start to the Mardi Gras festivities and can be easily accessed through the MetroLink.

I have been to several of the restaurants that are participating in The Taste and can guarantee both great taste and variety.

Park Station Residents this is an amazing project. If you have the opportunity this weekend, go over and take a look at it. I think it was money well spent but don't take my word for it.

Our Mission

St. Louis Earth Day nurtures environmental responsibility by bringing people together for celebration, education, and stewardship through Earth Day.

Since 1989, St. Louis has held its own annual Earth Day festival. This widely celebrated community event has grown in leaps and bounds since its conception over 19 years ago. In addition to the Festival, now held on Muni Theater grounds in Forest Park, stewardship projects, and activities at cultural institutions have all become part of the annual Earth Day in Forest Park celebration. A yearly Earth Day Symposium, attended by government representatives, professionals, and interested citizens, brings fresh ideas to the area on the latest concepts in sustainable restoration and development. Earth Day K-12 Teachers’ Guides and Around Town events bring observance of the Earth Day holiday to communities and schools across the region.

How it all began….
In 1969, Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, proposed the first nationwide Earth Day to help put environmental issues onto the national agenda."It was a gamble," he recalls, "but it worked."

A year later, on April 22, 1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated both in Washington, D.C., and on college campuses throughout the country. An estimated 20 million Americans participated in events calling for a healthy, sustainable environment.

Earth Day 1970 achieved a rare political alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city dwellers and farmers, businesses and labor leaders. The first Earth Day helped the push nationally to create the United States Environmental Protection Agency and to pass the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. Senator Nelson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor given to civilians in the United States for his role as Earth Day founder.

SANTA

  Santa came to visit our office today and was nice enough to snap a couple of pictures with some of our team members and kids too. We had donughts and presents for the children to enjoy as they told Santa what they wanted this year for Christmas. It was a lot of fun. Stay tuned for our next event.

Breakfast with Santa

Santa is coming to town and he is making a very exciting stop here at Park Station on Friday, December 21, 2007 from 10 am till 12 pm. Make sure to bring all the little ones you can scrounge up to get pictures taken and leave with a little surprise from Santa himself. If you have any questions please call the office at 314.361.8300.

Park Station Team takes time to give back...

(l to r) Brandi, Porsche, Lissa and Tori take a little time to give back in the way of a song. During a recent lunch outing the quartette teamed up in two to compete against each other. The Play Station game was played on a giant plasma television built into the side of a medium sized moving truck and pitted the teams against each other in the way of quality and the ability to hit a note at just the right time.

Metropolis St. Louis

I came across this interesting site today and thought I would share;

"In 1997 scores of young people, reared or educated in St. Louis, flee to Seattle or Chicago or Boulder. They might come back…some day perhaps. After all, St. Louis is "a nice place to raise a family."

A group of these young people that knew St. Louis had more to offer than just a “nice place to raise a family”. These people decided to do something about it. They wanted to show their friends that they didn’t have to leave St. Louis to have a metropolitan lifestyle. And so Metropolis was born.

Between 1995 and 2000, the largest percentage decreases by age group in the St. Louis area are projected to be in those aged 25-34 (13.7% decline),a decline that exceeds the national average by nearly 60%. Source: Woods & Poole Economics, Washington D.C." Click here to learn more
