On my 12-mile hike with the Boy Scouts through the heart of the city last month, as the day wore on, the big question was: if we stopped walking, would we fall over and call someone to pick us up?
This hike sounded more promising. It would start at Crown Candy Kitchen in north St. Louis city and end at Ted Drewes in south city. I didn’t really think of the intervening 10 miles or so… just the ice cream at both ends.
Previous St. Louis mayors have floated the idea, usually under pressure from business leaders, but the trial balloons were quickly popped for a simple reason: the earnings tax generates 31 percent of the city’s revenue.
