From Jim Whyte of the CWE Neighborhood Security Initiative: The blue postal mailbox on the corner of Laclede and Euclid was opened and the contents taken by thieves on Monday morning, Dec. 18, just after 1 am.  There was a similar incident at Wilson and Sublette in south city. I strongly suggest not using any blue mailboxes.

Theresa Smith, WPLNA member and President of the Crown Lofts Condo Association, brought this matter to our attention: Two cars parked in the Crown Lofts Visitor Parking Lot were vandalized on Sunday afternoon (July 16, 2023). The damage was smashed windows on cars in the process of unloading groceries.

We are very sorry to report that there was a fatal shooting at Laclede and Taylor yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, May 3).  The shooting was the direct result of a domestic dispute where the victim ran from a building on Forest Park Boulevard before being gunned down at Laclede and Taylor.  Two suspects have been arrested and are in police custody.
