I said I would, so I'm talking about her before I lose my nerve. I don't have too many memories of Tasha other than her being the girl next door who played with us sometime. I remember everything about her disappearance & murder though. (1/3)

💔

Whether it's a cold snap or early spring preview, the weather's always perfect for Campfire Smores from Ices Plain & Fancy!! I swear I don't work for them. 😜

Probably building a fancy new house.

Today marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jeanne Calment, who holds the record for longest documented human lifespan(2/21/1875-8/4/1997). She almost made it, too!

Another newspapers.com find: I'm gonna talk about Tasha later when I get my emotions together to go down that rollercoaster of memories, but it's so eerie that two teenagers from the block I grew up on were found 💀 in abandoned buildings less than a month apart.

I recognize the address (a childhood friend's) but definitely not the house.

Sharing because I don't think I have on here before: This is a bill of sale from 1851, when my 5x great-grandfather (and namesake), Griffin Brander, a free man of color, followed his wife and daughters from Virginia to Missouri and bought them out of slavery. (He would free them in 1856).

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

I'm not ready for this day. My oldest niece is officially an adult now. But to me, she'll always be the same age as in the first pic. Love you & I'm very proud of you Qaliyah! #niece #18 #ifeelsuperoldnow

Continuing my newspapers.com free trial deep dive. The St. Louis Argus, November 18, 1960. There aren't enough words to speak on how amazing this woman was & how special of a find this is! #abuelita 🩷

Roofie-o.

What bothers me about the Spencer campaign is that Spencer is sending messages to her supporters that she is an outsider and only she can fix it. Girl you have been the city government for 10 years. You absolutely can legislate for better city services.

Dear Alfred, When we said that no one could be worse than Vernon, that wasn't supposed to be taken as a challenge. www.firstalert4.com/2025/02/19/s...

Nice!!! I wish they'd have broken up the superblock tho.

Came for the goofy photo of my dad, stunned into silence by the fact that Jimmie Matthews has been running unsuccessfully for office longer than I've been alive. 😯

In case anyone needs to be connected with some employment.

2116 E COLLEGE AV, ST LOUIS, MO, 63107

Did they just use the same view for every lot on MLK?

They got one right!

2600 would be in Old North. The bot ain't botting.

At least they got the street right. This is like 3800 tho.

The every lot bot has hit my block...and they're way off on the address. This is 3831-37 ish.

Holy crap the Novocain is wearing off. 😭😭😭

Riding the bus while looking like a stroke victim (dental work with pain meds to treat a deep cavity that numbed the side of my face) isn't the best look in the world. 😫

My dad sent us pics of my Aunt Carmen with all 3 of us siblings. She had so much love for all her nieces & nephews, and she was definitely everyone's favorite aunt. (My other aunts & uncles already know this & they're OK with it. She was their favorite too).

Realizing that the Black Jeopardy sketch included 15% of all the Black writers & cast that have EVER been on the show. #SNL50

It's strange how random things can bring up memories. My aunt Carmen would have been serving as director of Operation Safestreet in 1995. We got to judge some of the National Night Out blocks & award prizes thanks to her. She would have turned 69 today.

I really need to not go to this particular store anymore without adult supervision. 😜

I fixed it guys!

Grimes’s son just told Trump “I want you to shush your mouth” in the Oval Office Chileeeee…

Hate to break it to you, but your beloved Karen S. isn't gonna get the side streets plowed, either.

Wearing a baseball jersey to the Super Bowl party because I hope both teams lose, and also because Spring Training is less than a week away.

Ay, caramba!
