CITYPARK making history on and off the field
[ad_1]
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis City SC will roll its way into the history books this Saturday when the team becomes the first professional Major League Soccer team to play in the city.
It’s a landmark moment that fans are more than ready for, but there’s some other history cooking up at CITYPARK.
“We make our own; we feel like we have the best, and what better place to showcase it than the brand-new stadium in St. Louis,” Anthony Scarato said about his restaurant’s fried ravioli.

Scarato’s Anthonino’s Taverna is one of 25 local restaurants offering food at the soccer stadium. CITYPARK is the only MLS stadium in the country where all of the food is made locally.
“Having the opportunity to put Filipino barbecue on the map not only in St. Louis but across the nation is super exciting,” said Darren Young of The Fattened Caf.
It’s all part of City SC’s Flavor Program. A program offering a variety of options with Cuban food from mayo ketchup, Mexican food from Padrino’s, DD Mau offering Vietnamese food, and Chez Ali with a taste of Senegal.
“Just knowing that we are one of the few locally owned small businesses throughout the United States that’s doing what we’re doing at CITYPARK is just amazing,” Young said.
All the vendors can also share a community-type kitchen setup.
“Everything’s there,” Scarato said. “You can sign up times and get your spot and load in and load out. It’s really well run.”

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Mo. – Two people are behind bars after a man reportedly attacked a Jefferson County deputy with a screwdriver during an attempted arrest over the weekend.
Prosecutors have charged Nicholas Davis, 47, and Amanda Davis, 45, of Dittmer, Missouri, with felonies in the investigation.

The alleged attack followed a traffic stop of a driver in the 9500 block of Jones Creek Road on July 7, though the driver was not Nicholas or Amanda.
According to court documents obtained by FOX 2, Nicholas reportedly came out of his nearby home, yelled at a deputy and started approaching him while holding a screwdriver. The deputy initially ordered Nicholas to back away, then used pepper spray.
Per court documents, the deputy attempted to arrest Nicholas, who then struck him in the chest with the screwdriver. Amanda reportedly approached the deputy and pulled him away from Nicholas before both ran inside their home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says the situation prompted an hours-long standoff involving negotiators, a SWAT team and a K-9 deputy. The situation led to Nicholas refusing warnings and being bitten by a K-9.
Nicholas and Amanda are both jailed in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. Nicholas is charged with first-degree assault on a special victim and armed criminal action. Amanda is charged with resisting/interfering with arrest.

ST. LOUIS — A gasoline tanker truck crashed into a Metro transit center near Riverview and Hall Streets early Tuesday morning and knocked over a power pole. The pole is leaning on other power lines. Police have the area blocked off here because there is a downed power line. Ameren and Metro crews are also on the scene.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. It’s still unclear exactly what caused the crash, but we do that there was a second vehicle somehow involved. The airbags on that second vehicle did deploy.
Accused killer’s case thrown out over one question at trial
Police at the scene have not been able to give us a lot of details. Metro officials tell FOX 2 that the transit center here is operating this morning for passengers and buses. Access to certain areas will be limited here as clean up unfolds.
A Metro spokesperson says half of the station isn’t being used right now because of safety issues. It isn’t impacting overall bus operations, everything is just happening on the other side of transit center.
The extent of the damage to the actual transit center is still unclear, but I’m told it does not appear to be extreme. A Metro spokesperson tells me there were no injuries to any metro workers or passengers. The tanker driver also was not injured.
