Another Good Year
I have been watching the Page Ave. Extension very closely and can't wait until it's complete. Then they have the money to go from Mid Rivers on over to Highway 40. MoDOT is proceeding with the right-of-way acquisition and expect to select a Design-Build project team by early 2013 when the project will begin construction.
I guess everyone knows by now that we are getting two CVS pharmacies in St. Peters––one on Woodstone and one at the corner of Mexico and Mid Rivers Mall Drive. The one on Mid Rivers Mall Drive circles the Starbucks located on the corner. The other businesses will be moving to other parts of the City.
Our City has had another good year. We have a tight budget. The economy just doesn't want to turn around. My wife and I have agreed not to buy any more General Electric appliances as they have moved most of the production to China. Let the Chinese buy their appliances.
On another subject, my wife and I went to Owensville on Dec. 12 to put flowers on our parent’s graves. It was just a nice drive. I told my brother-in-law that I believed Owensville was improving, but our inspectors would have a field day with the way some property looks.
I hope the year 2012 is good to you and everyone’s health improves. The other day my wife asked me how I was feeling and I said lazy and she said that’s something no one can say, that you are lazy. Our son who worked for the Immigration Office and our granddaughter, a Captain in the army JAG Corps, helped to lay wreaths at Arlington. They had 16 tractor-trailer loads of wreaths to place. Our son and his wife live in northern Virginia and Kim is stationed in Maryland after a year stint in Afghanistan.
Let’s have another good year. You can e-mail, call or come by my home, just don't forget we are here for your problems.
