chesterfield missouri: Barat Academy announces move to Chesterfield, MO - 08/22/11 11:55 AM
                              
Barat Academy announces move to Chesterfield, MO   It is a new school year and Barat Academy, a private Catholic high school, has moved to a new location in Chesterfield from Dardenne Prairie, MO.  The move stems from financial difficulties that occurred when the school’s mortgage holder failed and the FDIC stepped in taking control of the lender’s assets.  Unsuccessful negotiations with the new lenders - the FDIC and Enterprise Bank, forced an eviction from the school building this summer.  Despite attempts to keep the school in St. Charles County, the newer school, only open since 2007, was unable to … (1 comments)

chesterfield missouri: We dodged a bullet but my toy was GREAT! - 02/04/11 08:14 AM
A few days ago, I wrote about our oncoming winter storm that was being called a possible blizzard.  It has been a while since Missouri had a blizzard.  Well, I wrote that I was excited about the upcoming storm because I had a new snow blower.  Jim was worried after we bought it that we wouldn’t get any more snow for the season and it would sit in our garage, shiny and new (and untouched.)
WELL, I am happy to report that while we did not get the monster snowfall that had been predicted, we did get enough sleet and snow … (0 comments)

chesterfield missouri: Chesterfield, Missouri dodged a weather bullet today! - 02/01/11 12:43 PM
We were promised a storm of historic proportions.  The storm delivered 3” of sleet.  Better than the snow that could have been!  I did get to use my new snow blower though!!  It worked on the piled up sleet.  It was awesome!                    
                                              
We love our weathercasters but I think this storm threw them for a loop.  We had the National Guard activated and they are being used to provide needed transportation and make sure no one is stranded on the road in snowy areas.  Shelters have been opened for areas that might lose their power tonight.
