The price tag of the Mt. Pleasant Roller Hockey Rink

I have received a reply to my inquiry to the St. Louis Board of Public Service regarding the total cost to construct the Roller Hockey Rink in Mt. Pleasant Park:

$156,219.49

Included in the letter from BPS President Marjorie L. Melton, P.E. was the following statement:

The project number is 04725.01 and the contract number is E.A. 04-029. Further questions are directed to Project Engineer Anne Lamitola at 314-361-0243.

More on the shuttered Western Bowl

Last week I shared pictures of Western Bowl and how all the bowling-related equipment was being removed from the building. [click here to read previous post].

Today I drove by and spotted the last of the equipment in the parking lot – awaiting transportation elsewhere.

At this point I think it is safe to assume we will not see someone reopen this as a bowling alley. We do need to think, as a community, what we’d like to see occupy the space.

You are invited!

Public Meet & Greet Wednesday March 2; 5pm-8pm

Local Architect Frank Scherr is hosting a meet & greet at his office/home located at 3137 Meramec (across from St. Anthony of Padua). Refreshments will be served. Stop by, have a drink and chat with Steve Patterson. Talk with other volunteers and supporters. This is not a fundraiser so we won’t be asking for money – just good conversation!

I look forward to seeing everyone Wednesday evening.

– Steve

Reminder: Debate tonight!

Don’t forget the 25th Ward Aldermanic debate is tonight at the Gretchen Inn, 7pm. Meramec @ Grand. – Steve
