  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yea for the most part Oakville is Telegraph road from about the bridge going over 255 all the way down to Arnold. Lemay Ferry goes thru Oakville too on the other side. I have lived in Oakville my whole life well except 1 year I lived in Fenton LOL I think my hubby and I liked Fenton better then Oakville...He has lived here since he was 10 yrs old and hes now 37 so most of his life!!!

What parts of South County do your family live in???

It wasn't really south county but south St. Louis City around Grand and gravoes for the first 25 years of my life. Than I move the st. Charles. Most of my aunts and uncles live in the Arnold area now. My dad had 8 brothers and sisters and at last count I had over 50 cousins with most of them living in south county know. I know the area preaty well even though I don't get down that way much.

From what I can remeber as a kid, my first tripe to that part of the county highway 55 ended at Buttler hill rd, and we had to get off there to go to my aunts house in Aronld.

Yes we did. We were there last year before Christmas and we were at the Fox highschool craft show but they were not as good as Sparing Middle school. But they did not have one last year because of construction.

I had no idea that area was Oakville. My uncle worked at Dave Sinclar Ford in that area for many years. I have anuts and uncles that live all over south county.

The zip code is Oakville, but it is usually considered Mehlville - it's all in the same school district at least.

Sparing is a great craft fair - I've been to a few there.

I personally think Fox's craft shows have gone downhill. Kind of sad, since that's where I went to high school.

We've lived by Andre's Banquet Hall, for the last 6-7 years. I grew up in Arnold. One day, probably in the next decade, we hope to build on property in Franklin County off of Highway 50 between Union and Gerald. That's where my husband is from. It's beautiful out there, but I work downtown. Not sure how that will work.

Yes the Fox show is not what it use to be, and Sparing is a great show. I am hoping that they will continue the show after the construction is over.

Some of my cousins and my exwife attended Fox High School sometime during the mid to late 1970's. One of my cousins was the Prom Qween. Sometime around 1974 to 76 I think.

Behind Dairy Queen would be off Pottle, right? My subdivision is still on Telegraph before you get to Pottle.

Technically, it's close to Dairy Queen, but behind Andre's. I'm in Birchwood Estates - and still there.

Hope there aren't any axe murderers taking note. :sorry:

Any one else getting wacky weather this spring???? I know that sometimes weather can be weird but seems like it is "wackier" than usual! <Joplin>

Yep. I'm near Springfield. Hot one week, cold the next. I am attending MSSU in Joplin, BTW. We have figured out what the crappie are doing on Stockton Lake despite the weird weather though....
