My cousin recently moved to Arnold from St. Louis and when getting settled in she called City Hall to see if they had any sort of welcoming packet or anything that came with coupons from local businesses. I was surprise there wasn’t something they gave her. I’m some coupons for her first free pizza. A list of emergency numbers for her to call, in case of … to shut off her gas, water … what ward she was in… where to vote or register to vot … where to license your car … I’m sure some might just say that’s what a phone book is for but I don’t know … I’ve always lived in Arnold, born and raised here, but I thought the idea of something like that would be neat and would drum up business for the local restaurants and what not …

I thought it was a great idea a few years ago, especially with all of the new subdivisions and actually have a bunch of the information all together. There just aren't enough hours in the day. I also have lists of incoming residents and the post office does send a packet out with some coupons in it...
