ICE CREAM: Made with cream, milk, sugar & plenty of air, giving it a light, creamy texture.
CUSTARD: Similar to ice cream but made with egg yolks, making it especially rich, smooth & creamy.
GELATO: Made with more milk, less cream, and less air, creating a denser, silkier texture & more intense flavor.

Meanwhile, during National Ice Cream Month...It's been more than a year since a fire destroyed the much loved Gelateria on South Grand. And I miss that courtyard. That coffee. And that gelato. 

Today, St. Louis Public Radio reported on some financial red tape/snags the owners have hit in rebuilding. They are determined to stay in the neighborhood that has been supportive for nearly two decades. You can read more and find the link to their GoFundMe at @thegelateriastl

We strongly believe homeownership should be within We strongly believe homeownership should be within reach for more Missourians—not pushed farther away.

Amendment 5 could open the door to new taxes on the services involved in buying, selling and caring for a home, from inspections and repairs to plumbing, construction, landscaping and real estate services.

Those added costs could make it harder for first-time buyers to get in the door, harder for families to move when their needs change, and harder for homeowners to maintain the homes they already love.

At a time when housing affordability is already a challenge, Missouri should be making homeownership more attainable—not creating new barriers.

That is why we are asking you to protect Missouri homeownership. Vote NO on Amendment 5 on August 4.

Please visit protectmotaxpayers.com to learn more about this amendment and how it will negatively impact our small businesses, renters, seniors, retirees, veterans, and working families in St. Louis and across our state.
