I Was Being Followed Today
So I am on my scooter heading westbound on Market Street and as I cross Tucker in front of City Hall a black sedan with dark windows pulls onto the roadway behind me. All the way to past A.G. Edwards the car doesn’t pass me. Now before you scroll down to tell me I am paranoid let me explain.
I was heading to the ground breaking for the new Saint Louis University Arena and I presumed the car trailing me was none other than that of Mayor Francis Slay. After the ceremony I caught up with Slay’s bodyguard and driver who confirmed they were indeed the car behind me on Market St.
Nothing sinister or reason for paranoia, just a funny coincidence of timing. However, if I would have had a blue light and siren on the scooter I could have pretended I was Lou Hamilton (reference if you don’t get the joke).
A post on the SLU Arena to follow…

Steve, I’m curious to know what you think about Slay. You’ve done a lot of work related to Aldermen, but what about the Mayor?
REPLY Good question, read some of the archives and you’ll see I’m not a fan. Overall mixed — I see some really positive things and some really really really bad things from his administration. I’ve been critical enough that I don’t really care to have his large sedan right behind me! – SLP]
