Will City Council President Bob Kneemiller’s reign be one of
secrecy?
A work session of the St. Charles City Council meeting was held Tuesday evening. The meeting was held to discuss proposed changes to the City Charter that the voters will be asked to vote on in November. This is one of the most important documents in this City. It dictates the government that our residents must live under. But it was not televised on the City cable channel. The discussions were held at City Hall but the residents at home were deprived of the opportunity to listen to the debate. I am disappointed Council President Bob Kneemiller did not have this meeting televised. I hope that this is not an indication of things to come. All meetings of the City Council are important to the residents of St. Charles and they should all be televised.
Papa Lugi’s Pasta
Papa Lugi’s Pasta on Main Street has opened in the old waterworks building, formerly home to Maryland Yards. If you have not yet had the opportunity to stop in and partake of their offerings please do so. Everyone I spoke with who have eaten there raves about the food. Don and Mary Hart and their staff will be happy to welcome you into their restaurant. They are open from 4 pm to 10 pm Tuesday through Friday and from 11 am to 10 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Plans are in the making to enlarge their deck, which they say, is already the largest deck at a restaurant in St. Charles.
Free Flicks
Historic Frenchtown is in their second year of providing free outdoor movies. They are presenting them on the fourth Friday of each month at the park on North Second Street.
