Last Remaining Section of I-70 South Service Road Renamed to Honor Veterans

Ralph Barrale has worked since 1998 to see Veterans Memorial Parkway stretch across the entirety of St. Charles County.

The Wentzville Board of Aldermen, voted on Wednesday to change the name of the the last remaining piece of Interstate 70's South Service Road to Veterans Memorial Parkway. According to city staff, the process is also being undertaken for sections of South Service Road in unincorporated St. Charles County and the City of Foristell. The quest to rename the roadway was a project that World War II veteran Ralph Barrale had taken on in 1998. St. Peters was the first city to approve Ralph's request for the change to Veterans Memorial Parkway.

Friday Food Critic: Daddy Ray Burgers

Each week, we nominate a new restaurant for you to review. That's right, you're the local expert.

When it comes to restaurants, O'Fallon has plenty. O'Fallon has some local places that many would consider community gems, some restaurants that aren't exactly mom-and-pop but are unique to the area and O'Fallon certainly have plenty of chains lining our main streets. But what the city doesn't have have is a consistent food critic to tell us what's good and what's not.  That's where you come in. We could throw some money at a professional food critic, but that's not exactly what Patch is all about. We'd much rather know the opinion of the fine folks that eat there day-in and day-out. It's your community. You eat the food. You tell us if it passes the mark. That's why we have The Friday Food Critic column, where each week we will put a …

I used to be for the enforcements which are not a bad idea, sure better than red light cameras, however the most amount of accidents are not at Hwy K and N nor at VMP and Bryan Rd. They fail to enforce really high accident intersections of, O'Fallon Road and Hwy K, Fallon Parkway and Hwy K, Hutchinson Farms and Hwy K, Feisie and Hwy K, Waterbury Falls and Hwy K, where many …   more ›

Its either their not paying attention or their in a hurry and just don't want to stop. Don't be one of those people that says man I should have stopped, when its already too late.   more ›
