St. Louis Children's Heads West With Wentzville Parkway Super Clinic
Families along Highway 61 are in for a shorter drive to specialty pediatric care. Wentzville officials quietly dropped a big hint on Thursday, revealing that the northwest corner of Highway 61 and Wentzville Parkway is slated to become home to a new St. Louis Children's specialty care center. The city said there is no firm opening date yet and promised more details in a follow-up post. The tease comes after months of planning and municipal review for the site, and for parents who routinely trek into St. Louis for pediatric subspecialty visits, the new project could cut down on road time and speed access to imaging and same-day services.

With two young and extremely rambunctious little boys, my brain calculates injury probabilities with enough computational power to melt an Armory-sized data center. But even though I employ over-the-top preventative measures to keep them injury free, like cutting their oatmeal into smaller pieces, or making them wear a helmet to play with play-doh, they still find new and innovative ways to maim themselves.
