Arch City Deli Coming to City Hall


View of the Arch City Deli restaurant at the Gateway Transportation Center. City employees get a 10 percent discount on food purchases at this location. The City Hall deli is expected to open in March.

A city selection committee recently tapped a new company to take over operations at the City Hall cafeteria. The company hopes to transfer its restaurant success at Lambert Airport, the Gateway Transportation Center and other locations throughout St. Louis to its newest City Hall location.

Arch City Deli, a branch of OHM Group, currently provides food service at the Gateway Transportation Center. Beginning in March, owner Milan Patel and his brother-in-law Keith Patel, will begin offering much of the same breakfast and lunch menu at City Hall, along with some fresh twists. complete story >>

This system will only be used in case of emergency and will allow the Department of Public Safety to provide citizens with vital information and instructions on how to remain safe in emergency situations. complete story >>

Drug Court Honored at State Capitol

Two of Circuit Court’s drug court graduates recently had the honor of speaking on the House floor at the State Capitol. Speaker of the House Ron Richard, who attended a drug court graduation ceremony last year, was so impressed with the program’s success that he asked two graduates, Andrea Berean and Robert Rainey, to travel to Jefferson City and tell their stories in front of the Legislature.

Across the United States drug courts have been praised for their ability to get non-violent addicts into treatment and off drugs. complete story >>
