Some of the more interesting goings-on in the SW neighborhoods
some of the more interesting goings-on in the sw neighborhoods:
this is from the police beat for february 20 (today).
a 77-year-old man was robbed [u][i]by a woman,[/i][/u] about 35 years old, at 2:35 p.m. feb. 13 in the 4200 block of neosho street. [color=green][is robbery actually preferrable to hooking now?? shucks, she probably could have gotten twice as much cash from the 77-year-old if she just offered her services {grin} google maps shows that 4200 neosho is at the intersection of [i]gravois[/i] and neosho, just 2 blocks north of the bevo mill on [i]gravois,[/i] so be careful if you're looking for the supposed hooker bar near the bevo mill.[/color]
the lee's chicken at 2629 s. jefferson ave. was robbed at gunpoint at 3 p.m. feb. 12. [color=green]this is by the intersection of jefferson and gravois, close to that 7-eleven where i spoke to the streetwalker tanya. it's only a block north of where i picked up elizabeth.[/color]
[color=green]this is especially disturbing:[/color] a 37-year-old woman was robbed at gunpoint and kidnapped between 4 p.m. feb. 8 and 3 a.m. feb. 10 in the 4200 block of [u][i]south broadway[/i][/u] by a man, about 30. [color=green][i guess they still haven't found the lady since they don't know the exact time of the kidnapping, only that it happened sometime within a 35-hour period. but then how can they know the age of the kidnapper (about 30 years old) if there wasn't a witness who saw what happened and was able to give the age? maybe folks are assuming the kidnapper was somebody she knew?? odd.]
[4200 south broadway is at the intersection of broadway and meramec, where we've all been. there's a hardee's burgers restaurant there.][/color]
a 16-year-old female was the victim of statutory rape at 2 a.m. dec. 27 in the 600 block of west courtois street. a 23-year-old man is suspected. [color=green]now this is striking because this is the police beat article for february 20 (today), and the statutory rape occurred almost 2 months ago on december 27. police beat articles usually cover only the previous one week's reports, and sometimes two weeks. i guess it means the police didn't learn about the statutory rape for almost 2 months? so i guess the guy thought he was getting off scott-free after 2 long months had passed, but apparently he didn't get off scott-free [chuckle]. keep that in mind fellas, if you see any ****-looking sws. better to pass on them than risk arrest and being placed on the life-long sex offender registry. and do you really want to harm a child?[/color]
a 44-year-old man was robbed at knifepoint at 7:45 p.m. feb. 12 by a man, about 20, in the 2900 block of south kingshighway boulevard. [color=green]this is next to tower grove park.[/color]
two men, one 23 and the other age unknown, were robbed at gunpoint and a car was stolen at 11 p.m. feb. 12 by a man, about 19, in the 3500 block of hartford street. [color=green]this is very close to tower grove park, one block south of arsenal. even 2 men together aren't safe.[/color]
a 69-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint and assaulted and a 17-year-old woman was assaulted at 11:25 feb. 9 in the 3600 block of morganford road. a 47-year-old man is suspected. [color=green]this is 2 blocks north of chippewa.[/color]
a 21-year-old woman was robbed by a 21-year-old man at 9 p.m. feb. 11 in the 3800 block of south kingshighway boulevard. [color=green][where famous barr used to be][/color]
[color=green] the police beat articles are kinda hard to find. visit [url]www.stltoday.com[/url] , and click the "suburban journals" button near the top of the page. then on the next page, click in the drop-down box and choose "south side journal." then, on the next page, click the "crime" link near the top, and look for the "police beat" articles on the following page. the post-dispatch really should make it a little easier to find police beat. - rosco[/color]
S Broadway near Shell/CFM Tonight
Decided to see what was winning tonight-making money or the cold. Saw one SW on S. Broadway that turned and followed my car (going opposite direction) after I made it obvious I was looking. At shell, two Po Po cars and looked like someone was going in to pay for (gas? ), but was prevented from going inside?
