A story from the St. Charles Journal reports on the formation of the St. Charles Young Professional Alliance, aimed at getting the 25- to 40-year-old crowd interested in local issues and integrated into the business community. One of the organizers laments, among other things, the lack of county nightlife for this demographic.
Maybe that wave already crested in the city and is now pushing outward? In relatedish news, an email summary sent yesterday of the minutes of the February 1 Metropolis St. Louis steering committee meeting included the following bullet point:
"C. General Meetings. The general meetings were unanimously voted out and will no longer be held. Rhonda proposed, and it was unanimously agreed, that the Steering Committee meeting should be referred to as the Metropolis meeting from now on."

So Metropolis is going the way of the Gateway Greens... Either both organizations have been so successful that their activities are now simply part of the city social fabric, or this city needs some cultural leadership.
