I live in Fenton. Have all my life. I'm 56. Ever watch Little House on the Prairie? Fenton is Walnut Grove and Ferguson is Chicago, IL.
This whole situation is all blown out of proportion on a national scale. Remember, "news" is a packaged product, and they want RATINGS not truth. Sex and violence sell.
My opinion is that Fenton is as affected by Ferguson about as much as we are affected by Kim Kardashian's butt. Those who want to pay attention will. The rest of us have lives to live.
I will be going to work whatever day the verdict, or decision, is released by the grand ury. I'm sorry that Micheal Brown is dead, but I have told my son; if you want to wrestle a cop for his gun, bad things are going to happen, and it really doesn't matter how old or what color you are.
Enjoy your stay. Gravois Bluffs has a new store; the largest Gander Mountain in the state. And breakfast at IHOP is 12 on a scale of 10.
