OK I know what you are thinking oh boy here comes some rant either for or against sobriety checks. Well at first glance I suppose it could be easy to be offended by something that does often feel like and invasion of privacy and makes you just feel like you are being held down by “the man”. I also suppose that it would be easy to rail upon the screwy liquor laws in the metropolitan area that in some ways encourage impaired driving by having multiple closing times from west to east.
Whatever you or I might think, the fact is that sobriety checks are here to stay in the STL, and none of our opinions of them matter much when/if a tragic situation occurs. There is one way to avoid such a situation, don’t let yourself or friends get behind the wheel if either of you have had too much to drink. Call a ride! Below is a list of local cab companies that you should call if you and friends need a ride home.
(314) 531-8766
Laclede Cab Company
(314) 652-3456 or (314) 535-1162
Please take a moment to put a couple of these numbers into your cell, you never know when you might need them. Have fun and party responsibly!

The Ladies of Fusion.
We have all been to Lacelede’s Landing, aka “The Landing” to party. If you live in St. Louis it’s a rite of passage. A usual night was going to The Landing with your friends stumbling around in a haze, only to later find you and your buddies in the drive through line of the White Castles on Broadway. Hell the mark of a good Landing night back in the day at was waking up the next morning with a load of onions on your shirt. Good times…
However these days The Landing is not the place it once was, it’s grown up a bit. With the arrival of Lumiere Place, The Four Seasons, and spots like Drunken Fish, the Landing has become a classier/sassier destination in downtown St. Louis. Now to affirm The Landing’s new stature on the scene, one of it’s prime locations (the former Club Buca spot) has been transformed into a new upscale venue called Fusion.
Check out the Grand Opening of Fusion this Saturday night! Doors will open at 8pm with complimentary (FREE) drinks until 9pm! After 9pm the drinks are $2 until 11pm. If you are looking for Bottle Service email the club, fusionstl@gmail.com .
Oh and while you there say hi to my twin Diane (second from left)!
