The ban would be similar to the those passed by other St. Louis area cities.

(Read Previous Story: Appeals Court Rules Manchester Can Restrict Funeral Protests) Stenger wants legislation that would mirror Creve Coeur's city ordinance which was passed this week by the city council, the Post reports. Creve Coeur and Clayton have both recently passed ordinances similar to Manchester's city ordinance which prohibits protests within 300 feet of a funeral one hour before and one hour after services.

This one is easy. Should your grade school kids wear St. Louis Cardinals gear to school each day?
This one is fairly easy, but lets give it a try. Your kid's school, obviously is promoting Cardinals success this week.

Zeke Elliott notches 3 more TDs; Peter Schnuck catches 2 TDs and adds an interception.
If they were to pass around game balls following the John Burroughs 56-0 demolition of Clayton Saturday, they’d have to have a lot of them.
