Anyone know how to find construction permits in St Louis County? I'm rather curious to know who's putting a charger station in the Bridgeton Square shopping center (I boosted my Loops video about it yesterday).
They're really aggressively installing this one, I'm fairly certain they didn't even have a section of the parking lot fenced off when I drove by on 24 April, yesterday it was fenced off, feed had been run by digging out a channel in the parking lot (covered by a metal plate right now), and street lights removed in that area. Oh, and forms for the cabinet and/or transformer put in, but not filled yet. That's a lot of work in a week, but the way they handled the feed makes me think that that's a week's work if'n you don't care about pretty, just getting the job done.

Our house
Is a very very very fine house
With five cars in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause we've parts

Further to Five Junked Cars the Limit. Rural sensitivities in the news.

"The real story, to me, was the passion of the crowd. This was about much more than junk, or even the letter of the law. Grown men shed tears, telling stories of working on old cars with their fathers and sons. Another speaker referred to his field of junk cars as his “retirement.” He wasn’t talking about retirement savings; he meant projects to work on. This was clearly more important to him than money."
