LETTER RIP: WHEN YOUR MUSICAL HEROES DIE

Dear Readers,

It’s three is a row for the new fangled St. Louis Public News. We’ve redone the website to include all the back issues in just one click. Check it out! Seeing that it’s soon to be Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be important to revisit some of those tried and true traditions updating them for the new era of (cough) feminist equality (cough). It’s not that I think there is a lack of equality between the sexes, but that it is over-hyped to the extreme in the mainstream media. You gotta wonder what their agenda really is since the mainstream media has been pushing this bullcrap on us for years. I’m sure you’re as sick of it as I am.

PHOTOGRAPHY,

Hi Ken/Public News, I used to follow you in Houston when you had the Public News there. Are there any plans to resurrect that paper?

Wow, tempting. I enjoyed my time in Houston and miss the people there. I still keep in touch with a handful of the advertisers and readers through Facebook. However, at this time there are no plans to resurrect the title in the foreseeable future. But... never say never.

Public News, Are you going to cover the Mardi Gras celebration in Soulard?

Yes, we will be there in some form or fashion.

Public News, Are you looking for writers? Are you looking for anything like that?

Sure, only if you’re good and can self-edit.

I have a gripe. A Webster Groves restaurant charged us a tipping fee for a takeout order. I think that it takes some brass balls for them to pull a stunt like that.

I’m sure that it was not intentional on the part of the business, but rather on the part of an unethical employee. I would give the restaurant a call and express your concern to the owner instead of sending a letter to the editor.

Do you or would you cover local bands?

Yes! That is what our Public Noise page is all about. Make sure you get us those press releases on time for publication. Photos are a plus!

Do you accept advertising for marijuana products or CBD gummies?

If it’s legal to do so, sure, why not?
