Rock On! Treasures of the Earth returns to Bridgeton
This may surprise some of you who know me, but I am a total rock hound. Though my creative brain tends to repel anything dealing with science, I’ve always loved collecting unusual stones. And when I attended my first gem and mineral show several years ago, I was hooked! The Machinists Hall in Bridgeton hosts [...]

A Tale of Two Parades: July 4th in North County
If there’s one sure-fire way to boost community spirit, it’s a parade. Bright colors, creative floats, smiles all around… And this weekend in NoCo, we actually had double the fun!

I fell short of several goals this year (no surprise), but as usual, the fact that I didn’t get rich or skinny was easily overshadowed by an abundance of other blessings. Good friends, a healthy and happy family, a loving [...]

Bocce Ball (and more) in Bridgeton
To say that the city of Bridgeton has been “impacted” by Lambert Airport is a vast understatement. For the past 25 years, airport expansion has chipped away at the community, gutting entire neighborhoods and causing many St. Louisans to forget that Bridgeton actually has a rich history dating to the 1700s. In 2006, the U.S. [...]
