Don't forget that besides the Internet sensation this ad has stirred up St. Joseph is also famous for the dealth of Jesse James and the guy peeing in the his co workers' coffee...oh, and the Gore Museum.

OMG YES!!! I forgot all about the turtle or was there more than one? I remember like two turtles! Yes, before the late 80s remodel East Hills was beyond cool - I think it was because it had so many local stores. After the remodel it was like every other mall with every boring chain. If malls want to revamp…

My Dad calls them "The Shoppies" and yes he is adorable. I know St. Joe isn't the greatest place in the world for everyone but it does have its charms. For instance I find New York for all the bluster that city receives in the media, being a media capital and all, just isn't all that. Things I adore about St. Smoe…

I am so thrilled that East Hills Mall (the mall of my formative years) is having a moment!

It doesn't look that appetizing. More like a mass produced and only a tad fancier than the average grocery store bought cupcake.

I totally HEART this!!!!

I don't remember Tippon's at East Hills but I remember other locations - the pies are sold still at Kansas City Price Choppers. Back in my day there weren't a lot of places to eat in the mall. My gang may have walked elsewhere for our nourishment. There was some sort of for dog/hamburger joint...I think. I…

East Hills Mall is where I cut my teen shopping teeth. It is the place where I discovered Elvis had died - Mom and I were in the record store the name of which is lost in time. It is where a bunch of friends and I followed a security guard around for an hour to make sure he didn't shoplift - he had accused one of my…

Dear Gawker, STOP MESSING WITH MY MIND!!!! East Hills Mall is where I cut my teen shopping teeth.

As a Missourian, he would have scored a lot of points with me if he had done that instead of seemingly going to bat for him.

THIS and much more!

The community meeting was a shit show to be sure and it was made all the worse by Gov Nixon ignoring most of the concerns of the community. They want justice and part of that justice entails taking the investigation out of the hands of the obviously incompetent Ferguson police department. Why hasn't a report been…

Models yes!

I've been wanting to do something like this forever! Good for Julia. For me it would be all about the cake and dress. I have always wanted to have a wedding, complete with signing up for gifts and honeymoon, but I have never been overly invested in the idea of a husband. Could I rent a groom just to make the whole…

She may have done this, we don't know. With situations like this there is no perfect solution as there is no perfect parenting. As I mentioned, she didn't call him names or imply she was washing her hands of him due to shame. I agree, things like this can become muddled quickly so it all depends on the spirit in…

One of the major issues with the Internet is that we can't gage what people are really thinking because we cannot see their body language, facial expressions, tone of voice nor obviously what truly is in their hearts. Sometimes it is based on taking people at their word until other facts present themselves. However…

I may receive violent threats and web banishment for these sentiments, but I'm posting them anyhow; I don't think this trend of public shaming is all that bad. This woman has been humiliated by her son and as such she has utilized resources at her disposal. I would feel different if she called him names and wrote…

I agree, I just find it interesting that when it comes to Fox News reporters the women look like Barbies and most of the men look like end tables.

In regards to a conservative viewpoint, I think it boils down to HOW one defines conservativism. For instance, I have a liberal life philosophy, but live more conservatively than the conservatives I know. No woman who mindlessly repeats Fox talking points is going to appeal to the base of viewers to The View. For…
