On the fourth Friday of the month, one thing is certain in Ste Genevieve, Missouri:  there is another Art Walk!
 
For the twentieth month in a row, the growing number of artist-owned studios and galleries in the colonial area of the downtown historic district are open from 6 pm to 9 pm.  Called the Fourth Friday Art Walk when it began in July of 2008, the event has grown in popularity and in size.  Starting with seven art studios in 2008, there are now over a dozen art spaces either serving refreshments, opening new exhibits and displays, or holding "meet the artist" events.  Both locals and tourists join in the fun, and this month is no exception. . .

Government has crossed the line. No warrant has been issued to force millions of air passengers, every day, to empty their pockets, take off their shoes and step into machines, raise their hands and surrender to naked full-body scan electronic photo images of themselves, prior to boarding a flight in America. Contrary to our judicial system, there is no doubt here that the assumption is, ‘guilty until proven Innocent’. . .
