City Hopes Taxi Zone on Main Street Will Ease Late-Night Problems

St. Charles recently created a special loading zone for taxicabs on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays.

It's about time some of these North Main drunks and law violators were arrested instead of being helped to their cars and sent on down the road. Maybe that will start to send a message that St. Charles may actually have some law enforcement. Is this the result of a new chief? Just hope it's a sign of things to come.   more ›

Give Back: Volunteers Needed for Clean Up Effort Planned April 1 on North Main Street

Curtis and Christine Wells hope to raise awareness about maintain North Main Street with "iCare 2012" event.

It’s the side of North Main Street that people often don’t notice, says Curtis Wells. Trash and graffiti are sometimes a reality on North Main – something that Wells and other volunteers are trying to raise awareness about keeping up the area. “You kind of don’t see it unless you live here all the time,” Wells said on Thursday. "There’s lots of broken glass.” Wells and his wife, Christine, live along North Main, which features shops and an entertainment district that includes restaurants and bars.

The clean up will be from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m…
