		<description><![CDATA[Well, at least it didn&#8217;t rain. Much. But it was still a pretty cold evening for Ferguson&#8217;s Northern Lights festival. Crowds grew steadily all afternoon, until the fairgrounds were finally buzzing with activity right before parade time.

Originally named &#8220;St. Ferdinand&#8221; in honor of Spain&#8217;s King Ferdinand III, the town was dubbed &#8220;Fleurissant&#8221; (or &#8220;blooming&#8221;) by its early French settlers and remained a largely French-speaking area throughout [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NOCO fans, you may recall that I wrote about the Better Block Project a few weeks ago. That&#8217;s the one-day event in which a handful of businesses will suddenly sprout up in downtown Ferguson, representing all kinds of fun possibilities for new economic activity.
