Violation

Huzzah! You can now pay city parking tickets online. (Not that anyone associated with The Commonspace has ever had a parking ticket ...)

Other cities using the same payment system include Cambridge, DC, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Raleigh and LA. We're in the big leagues now, baby!

UPDATE, 4/5: Okay, Amanda is reporting in here to say that, based on her most recent parking ticket (uh, again, not that there's ever been more than one, heh heh...), the online payment system doesn't work. She entered her ticket number and is repeatedly told that it does not exist in the system. Sigh.

FUNDRACE 2004

What do you get when you graphically represent the relationship between presidential campaign contributions and geography? FUNDRACE 2004. According to the map for St. Louis, the top Democratic buildings are 1 N Brentwood Blvd ($14,000), 1441 Hampton Ave ($12,000), 1010 Market St ($12,000), 1 Metropolitan Sq ($10,750) and 500 S Warson Rd ($8,000), while the top Republican buildings are 999 Executive Parkway ($22,000), 611 Olive St ($9,950), 7701 Forsyth Blvd ($6,500), 816 S Hanley Rd ($6,450) and 2730 S Lindbergh Blvd ($6,000). All calculations for FUNDRACE 2004 are based on records filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Folks in the 63116 zip code (South City) favored Dick Gephardt, while people in the 63017 zip code (Chesterfield) gave a lot of money to George W. Bush. (No surprises there.)

Meanwhile, over on GOOGLERACE 2004, Dennis Kucinich wins the St. Louis award.

Breakdancing Gorloks

There's an article in The Webster Journal about the university's breakdancing club. It gives a nod to the monthly breaking session at The Commonspace and features photos of Commonspace regulars John Bolduan and Ben Pierce (AKA the most photographed b-boy in the Lou). Come see them in action at The Commonspace this Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m.
