Stockley verdict protesters block Galleria traffic; Brentwood, Maplewood residents in the news

On Wednesday, several hundred protesters of the Jason Stockley  acquittal blocked traffic in front of the Galleria. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis Magazine, Fox 2 Now and the Riverfront Times covered the event.

Also in the news, the Post-Dispatch ran stories about a Brentwood man who flew bombers in WWII then built homes in St. Louis, and a Maplewood city councilman — a Vitrolite specialist — helping restore the Soldiers Memorial in downtown St. Louis
