Members of the sixth ward, a diverse area stretching from the Washington Avenue loft district to Tower Grove, were slated to meet Thursday evening at the Southside Wellness Center to hear briefings on efforts to revamp the city’s and state’s tax systems and to consider an endorsement of St. Louis county’s Prop A for transportation funding.  However, some ward stalwarts including its alderwoman Kacie Triplett, apparently had a hard time making the meeting.  Triplett had scheduled her own fundraiser across town at The U on the same night.

Not everybody is on the same page regarding the City of St. Louis’s new indoor smoking ban. An emailed newsletter this week from Ald. Kacie Triplett, a co-sponsor of the city’s bill, mistakenly uses language from St. Louis County’s different law to explain what will happen in the city. . .Europe, Jasmin Redzic‘s club tucked away into a nifty former transformer building on 14th Street, seems to be getting a small facelift: a sign and an awning. Without them, you probably have to know where this gem of a nighspot is to find it. . .Staind singer/rocker Aaron Lewis has a bit of news for the baseball hot stove league. Lewis told rock music website Newscreep this week that he will be one of four participants in a reality TV show about hunting on the Outdoor Channel. Among his fellow competitors will be “JC Whitely, the bull-riding Iron Man” and a St. Louis Cardinal baseball player.” The columnist bets the Cards skipper Tony LaRussa, an avid animal rights activist, will not be tuning in. . . Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder, is telling tech types that his newest venture, @Square, will have offices in NYC and San Francisco (where Jack has homes) – and in St. Louis, where Dorsey already has a key to the city. . . Myron Kopperman is back from Florida and is in residence at Kopperman’s on the CWE. . . Tommy and Cissey Bahn celebrated the good times at Truffles over another sucessful year at their Cousin Hugo’s. . . And, a nice person from the Missouri Auditor’s office notes that her office, not the Secretary of State’s office, writes the fiscal notes that will be attached to initiatives that the Secretary of State will put on ballots. Everybody’s got a job.
