but, realistically for anyone outside of the St. Louis area, the number of communities and overlapping government is bound to be a bit confusing. Expecting such from today's level of "journalism" is just asking to be disappointed.

I live here so it's pretty easy for me, but with the variety of uniforms and number of municipalities even I miss one of them in the mix. I don't know if Hanley Hills, Jennings, Velda Village or Calverton Park sent anyone.
