So, right now St. Louis is the setting for the final four. What does that mean for residents? Gas prices are up, but that may be unrelated. I was walking back to my car from a job interview in downtown Clayton and I was walking past a hotel and I heard a scalper make a family of four tourists an offer on their seats. “If your seats are on the floor I can give you six thousand in cash right now.” A conversation ensued and I kept walking. Every once in a while we are all privy to things we are better off not knowing.
