On Tuesday night, the Board of Aldermen for the City of Frontenac approved a conditional use permit to allow the fledgling Al Manara Academy to be located at B’Nai El Jewish Congregation at 11411 North 40 Drive.

Restaurant at former Coco’s site hopes to open in two weeks.
The fromer Coco’s building at Old Frontenac Square, 731 S. Lindbergh Blvd., is hoping to find new life as the Frontenac Grill once a couple of problems are solved. Long time St. Louis restaurateur Mike Faille (aka Mike Talayna) has dreamed of having an upscale Italian restaurant at this site. Last year, he suffered a massive heart attack and the project languished while he recovered. During this time, the liquor license previously held at the location expired, and residents to the west signed a petition asking the city not to issue a new one. General Manager and Chef Andrew Laidlie, formerly of Annie Gunn’s, said, “The residents on Cable Avenue which backs up behind the restaurant are concerned about liquor being served around their …

Frontenac showcased its new $10.5 million city complex at the first of two open houses held Thursday afternoon.
From the classic arched windows in the front to the meeting room featuring a new acoustical sound system and high tech video board to the exercise room for the fire and police departments, the city made sure that they covered all the bases. The site formerly housed city hall, the fire department, and police departments in buildings over 50 years old. It was time for a change and to move into the 21st century. Construction on the 37,000 square foot facility began October 2009, and on February 15, 2011, the Board of Aldermen held its first meeting in their new complex. Mayor Keith Krieg said he thought many people were “skeptical of pulling the trigger to do it.” The plans were ready in the fall of 2008 when the economy began to tank. “We …
