A University City, Mo., Tow Truck Took 150+ Cars From Driveways and Backyards in 3 Years, No Warrants, a Lawsuit Says

In Missouri, renewing your plates means gathering paperwork first. The state wants a paid personal property tax receipt and, for many vehicles, a safety or emissions inspection certificate no more than 60 days old, according to its plate renewal requirements. St. Louis County cars also have to pass the Gateway emissions program. If any one of those steps fails, the tags lapse, and plenty of owners leave the car in the driveway while they save for the fix.

A bold idea for eyesore parking garage spiral downtown: The Louggenheim

The eight-level Famous Barr parking garage is—for better or worse—among the most recognizable structures in downtown St. Louis. A “fusilli-like spiral of concrete” was how one local writer once described it. It resembles an extremely low rent version of one half of Chicago’s Marina City. It juts out over the sidewalk and for the past decade has primarily been a canvas for graffiti artists (it also made a cameo in the Wall Street Journal’s infamous story about downtown St. Louis’ Doom Loop). No one building a parking garage these days would build one this way.
