Map Lets You Report Potholes, Problems in St. Charles

St. Charles will start tracking problems reported through SeeClickFix, which is accessible through the web or an app.

What crime? The only "crime" on Main Street is that there is no Indian, Mexican, or Vietnamese cuisine in sight. Main Street is better in every conceivable way than it was a decade ago, except for the casino. That place is a ____ing monstrosity eyesore. My guess is the old wave of businesses that catered to the Bed and Breakfast/doily/antiquer/tourist crowd are being made irrelevant by the fact …   more ›
