North County Sr. Rec. Hockey League Super Badass with a tight bod, great hair, waist deep in lady business and Ric Flair's biggest fan. #honkeylips#sxe
I absolutely hate having to write this.
Our friend @MrBluesHat (formerly Hitchβs Hat) passed away last night after a long fight with glioblastoma.
If you were around #STLBlues or #HockeyTwitter for any length of time, you probably crossed paths with him. Elite sarcasm. One of the founders of #Shots4Goals. Professional ball buster. Passionate fan. One of the regulars who made this community feel like more than just people yelling about hockey online.
The disease took a lot from him physically, but it never took his wit, his fight, or his love for his family and the Blues.
He beat the odds for a long time, because stubbornness mightβve actually been one of his superpowers.
The rink, the X timeline, and this fanbase are all going to feel a little quieter now.
Stick taps for Mr. Blues Hat, and much love to @missus_hat
Would you rather...
Train in a completely empty gym with perfect equipment.
OR
A packed gym full of serious lifters with insane energy (but you wait for everything)
Which one and why?
Where to begin⦠One, available and willing talent to work. Two, murder which affects #1. Three, state/local incentives are lacking. Four, public transportation that is safe (again see number 2 sort of)
St. Louis had 9 Fortune 500 companies in 2015. Now? Just 7.
Meanwhile, corporations keep flocking to Austin, Nashville & Miami.
STL has a $210B metro economy, pretty low cost of living, central location & top-tier universities.
Why arenβt any corporations calling it home?
