At least there's SOME good news today

Some first looks at the 2020 #stl census data (won't get income, housing, etc. until next month tho). Looking forward to the rest of you making way better maps than these.
The main architect, Dave Menninger, isn't on the Twitter but he carries a ton of projects like this and STL is lucky to have him. Shout outs also needed to Walker Hamilton, @chrisprener, Branson Fox, and the STL #Regional DataAlliance 🙏🏼🙏🏼
No easy feat, but locked in a Shakespeare in the Park pod. #STLtip- You gotta be ready to pounce, smashing that refresh button, then chase digital seats around the screen as they disappear, right at noon on Mondays!
ALT Pamela Boyd, Alderwoman ward 28: I guess my frustration is and I'm saying what other other people have probably are frustrated too. We get calls to say send us people we need people. And I can give one case scenario.
I got calls. You know, we need people in forestry, we need people in parks and so I'm telling my constituents, they need staff. We do the applications, we take them down there and you lose them. You didn't lose on why she lost her three times.
After the third time, I told them, I'm too embarrassed to keep asking people to fill out applications. They were like, they can go online... Well, everybody can't go online. I'm sorry. Everybody hasn't gotten up to that point.
So I think what I keep hearing is the frustration from constituents are that you all have the jobs online, people that do apply online, they get a generated letter that says automatically, you're not qualified, or you are on the list, and they never hear.
Clay pipes, through and around which flows spring water, directly under #PageBlvd in #STL. They are vestiges of infrastructure past, unclaimed today by city and sewer alike.
