+++ On the Wildwood Business Scene +++Local News >>>+++ Mayor Bowlin has signed an Extension of the City’s “Temporary Waiver of Special Event Permit Guidelines for Eating and Drinking Establishments in Wildwood” through September 30, 2021. This waiver allows Wildwood restaurants, pubs and coffee shops to expand outdoor seating and hold special events, and provides necessary guidelines and procedures for doing such. Several Wildwood restaurants have taken advantage of this Waiver, including Wildwood Pub & Grill, Benedetto’s on Main, Larry’s Tavern, Parkside Grille and Casey’s Bar, since its first implementation in May 2020.
+++ A new medical user has executed a lease to fill the remaining 2,500 square feet commercial space at 16972 Manchester Road (Cherry Hills Square), next to Cherry Hills Veterinary Hospital. Another announcement with the name and type of business for this location will follow shortly. With this new tenant, the Cherry Hills Square is now at 100% full occupancy, the first time since early 2015. +++ The Scoop School (a new frozen desert education and training facility) has executed a lease to fill the remaining available commercial space at 2612 East Avenue, formerly tenanted by The Miller Haus Coffee Shop & Lounge. The owner will host professional seminars educating interested entrepreneurs how to open and operate their own ice cream business and hopes to operate a small pop-up ice cream parlor in the coffee shop space at some point in a future phase. Patterson Family Farms (general store and boutique) will continue to remain in business in the front part of this space. +++ NTP Cyber Security has submitted plans to the City for interior renovations to the professional office building at 16442 Village Plaza View Drive, immediately abutting Simmons Bank. This new business hopes to relocate their business, and its 15 employees, to Wildwood later this summer. +++ Parkside Grille (505 Strecker Road) has installed a new covered awning above their outdoor patio area. Please stop by and thank owner Jean Ann Mantia for her continued investment in the Wildwood community. +++ The Wildwood Business Association (WBA) will host its August Social on Monday, August 2, 2021, at 5:30 p.m., at Thai Bistro (2436 Taylor Road), in Dierbergs Town Center. Owner Joe Nanthavong is currently working to sell this business to a new buyer, so the WBA is hosting this month’s social as a farewell and thank you to Mr. Nanthavong for his eight (8) years in Wildwood. +++ Economic Development Manager Julian Jacquin has accepted an offer to be the new Director of Economic Development for the Town of Erie, Colorado, just outside of Denver and Boulder. His last day with the City of Wildwood will be August 13, 2021. All of us here at City Hall wish him the very best and great success in his new position. We will miss him. +++ St. Louis Community College has been approved to place a proposed measure (“Proposition R”) on the August 3, 2021 ballot to fund necessary updates to College facilities. If approved by the voters, it would increase the College’s tax rate by eight (8) cents and generate the necessary funding to allow the College to expand the Wildwood Campus and construct additional buildings for new programming.+++ The City has compiled a list of all Wildwood restaurants and bars identifying available services now that St. Louis County has again allowed indoor dining, effective January 4, 2021.

Biking and Walking Benefits Program Now in WildwoodThe City of Wildwood has launched an exciting new program that aims to create new and additional traffic for local businesses, while continuing to promote an active, healthy lifestyle for the community. Biking and Walking Benefits is a year-round national program in more than 100 communities across the United States that promotes active mobility through discounts/rewards to cyclists and walkers that visit local businesses. The program is very simple - individuals purchase a $5.00 helmet sticker from participating businesses and after biking or walking to a participating business, present the sticker to receive their discount/reward. If you already have a sticker from another community, just present it at a participating Wildwood business, and be sure to use your sticker to receive discounts at other area businesses. Lauren Edens, Ward 2 Council Member and the Chair of the Economic Development Committee of the Wildwood City Council, said, “this program fits perfectly with our culture and outdoor infrastructure, including our extensive trail and sidewalk network. We hope that the initial list of 10 businesses grows with more communications and outreach.” Interested businesses can participate by contacting Hugh Share, Volunteer Program Coordinator, at sharecycle08@gmail.com, or 314.486.5685. For a list of current participating businesses and their discount/reward, click this link: https://bicyclebenefits.org/cities/398.

The early settlements of Centaur, Fox Creek, Glencoe, Grover, Hollow, Kelpe, Melrose, Monarch, Orrville, Pond and Westland Acres continue to be discoverable today. Markers provide a brief historicity of these areas for adventurers intrigued by the past. Beyond these unique settlements, the ever-popular Historic Route 66 thoroughfare (now called Manchester Road) bisects Wildwood’s north from south, directly through the heart of the town center. This portion of Route 66 is the original location of the byway, dating back to the early 1930s.

- AT&T Wireless – Mobile communication provider – Hotspot Use
